Jake Hager, Lance Anoa’i both win in Power Slap debuts
Posted: Apr 18th 2026 By: Josh Nason
Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and former Bellator MMA fighter Jake Hager made his Power Slap debut on Friday a successful one.
Hager won by third round knockout over Devin “Big Jinxx” Jenkins
Hager’s AEW contract expired in May 2024 and he was very critical of Tony Khan in an interview that came out last year, saying he was “very jaded” about his exit and lobbing claims about FTR that the team later refuted. He wrestled ten times following that exit, but has not been in the ring since November 2024.
He competed four times for the now-defunct Bellator MMA, going 3-0-1 and last fighting in October 2020. In a September 2023 interview, he said he was retired from MMA.
Also on the show, Lance Anoa’i scored a knockout win over Amanpreet Singh in his Power Slap debut while “Hollyhood” Haley J picked up a decision win over Destiny McCubbin.
