Thus his feud against Rey Mysterio for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, when he was a part of WWE, was one of his favorite memories from his time in WWE.

“I will put him as one of my favorite opponents to wrestle against. Watching him work against guys like you [Chris Jericho] and guys like Eddie [Guerrero] and Kurt Angle – they’re some of my favorite matches. So, to be in there with Rey and wrestle for a world title like the World Heavyweight Championship, it was surreal. I remember one time in Mexico I messed up his comeback and I was so mad at myself – I was like ‘It’s Rey Mysterio, how do you not know what he’s gonna do?’ But when you’re in front of a crowd a lot of things happen.”

Currently, Jake Hager is a part of AEW and The Inner Circle. As a part of The Inner Circle, Jake Hager is working with Chris Jericho and the group recently added another member to their ranks in the form of MJF.
