AEW star and Jericho Appreciation Society member Jake Hager recently opened up about his WWE Money in the Bank ladder match win at WrestleMania 26.
Hager competed in the high-stakes bout against Christian Cage, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin. The AEW star emerged victorious after he hit Cage with the briefcase and unhooked it. He cashed in his contract on Chris Jericho back in April 2010 to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
During his virtual signing session with Captain's Corner, Hager said the match was "so much fun." He also unveiled one secret from that night:

AEW star Jake Hager praises Claudio Castagnoli for his world championship win
During the same session with Captain's Corner, Hager spoke about facing his former stablemate Claudio Castagnoli in All Elite Wrestling. He added that it was a "cool twist" that they got to lock horns in the Blood & Guts match.
The Jericho Appreciation Society member then congratulated Castagnoli for winning the ROH World Championship against Jonathan Gresham at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.
"It’s just too bad he had to get in my way and we had to punch each other in the face again but, it’s cool to see [he’s] the new ROH Champion, World Champion. Guess I got my foot in my mouth. Said he’d never be a world champion and now he is one. You know, good for him. Stay out of my face Claudio," said Hager.
While Hager seems to respect the Swiss star, it will be interesting to see if he challenges him for the ROH World Championship in the foreseeable future.
