The informative tweet did not sit too well with Hager, who expected a more accurate introduction. He also denied any concluded agreement on a possible grappling match.

"First of all it’s @AEWonTNT and undefeated @BellatorMMA heavyweight Jake Hager, secondly no terms have been discussed or contract signed. We can talk if terms are right."
