Jake Hager brutally knocked out at Power Slap 21
Ever the showman, Jake Hager made the walk at Power Slap 21 with all the confidence of a fighter who has yet to taste defeat in the paid ranks. He even brought out his old WWE catchphrase as he put his hand on his heart and declared ‘We The People’ before the match.
Things got off to an electric start as Hager floored Singh with his first slap after eating the initial shot from his opponent. The next two each way did little to trouble either side, and it was looking as though the American may cruise to a decision win.
Singh had other plans, landing a massive slap on Hager that sent him straight on his back and even left his arms spasming on the ground. Luckily, the former WWE heavyweight managed to turn over and get back to his feet, but the match was already very much over.
