During his tenure in AEW, Jake Hager who was once known as Jack Swagger in the WWE had a significant influence. He is no longer employed by the corporation, though, and it seems he accuses Tony Khan of being a communist in an attempt to quiet him.

Jake Hager is no longer employed by Tony Khan's organization, as was previously stated. Since the firm didn't do anything with him anyhow, many fans were not surprised by this. Since then, he has mostly focused on competing on the independent circuit.

According to Jake Hager's rant on social media last night, Tony Khan is a "communist" who threatened to fire him if he didn't stop endorsing Donald Trump. In response to criticism of his support for the now-reelected Trump, Hager took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his support for the politician. He then attacked wrestling fans, arguing with them about abortion and sharing a screenshot of a satirical article about the election, saying that he hoped it "triggers all the commies."

Jake Hager declared his retirement  last year

As the U.S. Presidential Elections get started, several professional wrestlers have made their political positions known. This even includes Jake Hager, who said on Twitter that he supports Donald Trump because he opposes the murdering of infants. Jake Hager's endorsement of Donald Trump would subsequently result in criticism. AEW President Tony Khan was then accused of being a communist, and he was threatened with penalties if he didn't speak out. 

Many fans are astonished by this claim against Tony Khan, even since Jake Hager declared his retirement from mixed martial arts last year. Anyway, it's doubtful that Tony Khan would reply to Jake Hager's remarks. Jake Hagar will no longer be performing in Enfield, Connecticut on December 14.
