Former WWE Champion Still Claims He is Owed $18,000 and Plans to Get Reimbursed on Raw
In a recent turn of events, former WWE Champion, Jack Swagger, has come forward with claims that he is owed a whopping $18,000 from his time with the company. The wrestler, whose real name is Jake Hager, has stated that he plans to get reimbursed for this amount during his appearance on Raw.
Hager, who was with WWE from 2006 to 2017, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the company in the past. However, this is the first time he has publicly addressed the issue of unpaid dues. In an interview with Sportskeeda, he revealed that he is still owed $18,000 from his final year with WWE.
The former champion explained that the amount is for his merchandise sales, which he claims he never received. He also stated that he has been in contact with WWE’s legal team to resolve the issue, but has not received a satisfactory response.
Hager’s appearance on Raw is scheduled for next week, and he has made it clear that he plans to bring up the issue during his time on the show. He stated, “I’m going to get reimbursed for that $18,000 on Raw. I’m going to make sure that happens.”
This news has caused quite a stir among WWE fans, with many expressing their support for Hager and his quest for reimbursement. It also raises questions about the company’s treatment of its former wrestlers and their financial agreements.
WWE has yet to respond to Hager’s claims, but it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds on Raw next week. As for Hager, he remains determined to get what he believes is rightfully his and has promised to keep fans updated on the situation.
This is not the first time a former WWE wrestler has spoken out about unpaid dues. In 2019, former superstar CM Punk filed a lawsuit against the company for unpaid royalties and breach of contract. The case was eventually settled out of court.
As for Hager, he remains focused on his upcoming appearance on Raw and getting the reimbursement he believes he is owed. It remains to be seen how WWE will respond to his claims and if this will lead to any changes in their financial practices with former wrestlers.
