Jones announced that he will be competing against the former WWE star Jake Hager also known as Jack Swagger on December 9th. This match is supposed to be his first bout since February 2020, when he fought against Dominick Reyes and retained his light heavyweight strap. However, Hager himself later took to clear that the match wasn’t confirmed.
What did Jake Hager have to say?
Former WWE superstar Hager took to Twitter to make a couple of things clear. Most importantly made it known that the match has not been confirmed as of yet and also there has been no contract signed for the same. Hager responded to Jones’ tweet and said:
“First of all it’s @AEWonTNT and undefeated @BellatorMMA heavyweight Jake Hager, secondly no terms have been discussed or contract signed. We can talk if terms are right.”

Hager corrected Jones for calling him a WWE superstar, as he left the company years ago and is also currently working with WWE’s biggest rival AEW. He also announced that the terms have not been discussed as of yet. As things stand right now, nothing can be said with certainty as the matchup is still in the works and the contract is yet to be signed by both camps.
