"We were both on the same shows and got to know each other. We have similar friends and similar experiences over the last 12 years that really solidified each other in each other’s lives and our kids’ lives. He’s Uncle Ronnie to my kids," Hager said.

The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion also revealed that R-Truth was one of the first people he told about his plans to leave the promotion Hager left WWE in March 2017.

After his departure, Hager started wrestling on the independent circuit. He also kicked off his career in MMA before signing with AEW.
