Jake Hager Suffers Brutal Knockout Loss in Power Slap

A doctor stopped the bout after a brutal slap left former WWE and AEW star Jake Hager bleeding from the eye.

  • On Thursday in Lubbock, Texas, former WWE and AEW star Jake Hager lost to Johnny "The New Mexican Badass" Magna by TKO, marking his second consecutive defeat in Power Slap.
  • A ringside doctor stopped the bout after Magna's slap left Hager bleeding from the left eye; though Hager claimed the strike hit illegally, officials upheld the TKO result.
  • Hager's recent struggles contrast sharply with his April debut, when he secured a knockout victory, before suffering a July loss to Amanpreet Singh in his Power Slap transition.
  • Power Slap booker Sinn Bodhi and UFC executive Dana White actively recruit independent wrestlers, viewing the crossover as a natural method to build their talent pool despite recent setbacks.
  • Prior to his debut, Hager told TMZ he expected injuries and was "not worried," citing the organization's medical expense coverage as reassurance amid his current two-loss streak.
