Jake Hager reacts to getting knocked out on Power Slap

Posted: Jul 17th 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti

Jake Hager has reacted to getting knocked out on the latest edition of Power Slap.

On July 10, 2026, Hager appeared in his second-ever Power Slap appearance, where he faced off against TNA-fame wrestler Amanpreet Singh, a.k.a. Mahabali Shera. The face-off lasted three rounds before Hager was knocked out.

Following the loss, Hager appeared on Busted Open Radio, where he opened up and reacted to the loss and to online comments about him.

“Not at all,” Hager answered when asked about whether he took offence to the online trolling. “I knew ahead of this, going into this, that it was knockout or get knocked out and that getting knocked out was gonna generate just as much as getting a knockout. Now, of course, that’s not the result I wanted but still, when you have a name like mine, and going into a sport like Power Slap, it is an advantage, and I will use it.” (H/T Fightful)

A part of both the WWE and AEW rosters, Hager remained inactive in wrestling since 2024 before returning to World Wrestling Council’s Anniversary show(s) in Puerto Rico, where he faced off against John Hawking and Alberto El Patron.
