Jake Hager's arrival in AEW was rumored before AEW Dynamite premiered, but it created an impact and got people talking about it once the debut was officially revealed. Jake Hager's undefeated streak in Bellator has helped raise his portfolio in the pro wrestling industry and certified him as a legitimate fighter.

More importantly, when compared to the rest of AEW, with the exception of Luchasaurus, he is easily one of the biggest men on the roster. That makes him a beast. While Jake Hager is no Brock Lesnar, he is the closest thing the company has to a legit MMA fighter and it opens the doors for MMA fighters signing with AEW in the future.

Considering the fact that he is now part of Chris Jericho's stable, the clear role that he has been given is similar to what Arn Anderson had and that was as 'The Enforcer.' If Swagger is pushed as an unstoppable force, then AEW has an entertaining wrestler who could build an audience for himself and the stable in the weeks to come.
