Former WWE World Champ Wins Power Slap Debut By Knockout

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jake Hager, once known to wrestling fans as Jack Swagger, has successfully conquered yet another combat sport. On Friday night at Power Slap 19 in Las Vegas, the multi-sport athlete made a thunderous promotional debut, scoring a technical knockout victory over Devin Jenkins.

Hager's journey to the slap-fighting stage is a testament to his raw athletic versatility. Before his storied 11-year WWE run, he was a standout two-sport athlete at the University of Oklahoma, excelling in both football and wrestling. After leaving WWE in 2017, he transitioned seamlessly to mixed martial arts, compiling an undefeated 3-0 record in Bellator.

His return to professional wrestling with All Elite Wrestling only added to his legacy, but the competitive fire clearly still burns. Now, Hager has added a fourth sport to his impressive resume. Facing an opponent with two prior knockout losses, Hager needed three rounds to find his timing, but ultimately proved to be a natural, securing the TKO win and announcing his arrival in the Power Slap league with authority.

This victory solidifies Jake Hager's unique place in combat sports history as a successful competitor across four distinct disciplines: collegiate wrestling, professional wrestling, mixed martial arts, and now, professional slap fighting.
