Jake Hager might not have wrestled a single match in AEW so far, but wrestling fans know that there is more to him than being just Chris Jericho's muscle. A former WWE World Champion, Hager is also an MMA competitor, currently undefeated in Bellator.

In addition to all this, Hager is also the current Lucha Underground World Champion. Lucha Underground was a wrestling show that ran for four seasons on the El Rey network till 2018, with mostly positive reviews. Season 4 finale saw Hager - wrestling as Jake Strong - beat current AEW superstar Pentagon Jr to win the Lucha Underground World title.

Pentagon had just regained the title from Marty Martinez when Hager decided to cash in his Gift of the Gods Championship opportunity. The former Jack Swagger would win the match in 42 seconds to become the new champion.

With no word on whether season 5 of Lucha Underground would happen, Hager might well be the last champion in LU history.
