About the episode

From dominating NCAA mats to winning in the Bellator cage, Jake Hager has lived more careers than most wrestlers could dream of, and now he’s trading headlocks for hauling freight. In this episode, Saraya sits down with the towering former WWE and AEW star to unpack his journey from Oklahoma wrestling prodigy to World Heavyweight Champion, undefeated MMA fighter, and proud owner of Haulin' Oates Trucking. They talk about bar fights, saving Chris Jericho in Abu Dhabi, brutal contract negotiations, the grind of MMA training, dad life, and why walking away from the ring might be his boldest move yet. Fierce, funny, and full of locker room stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Oh, and yes...Producer Adam finally sat in the hot seat for the shock collar trivia segment. Saraya zapped him. Sweet, sweet revenge. Follow Jake on IG: @realjakehager Follow the show @rulebreakerspod on Instagram and TikTok Rebels, don’t forget to follow, like, leave a review, and share this ep.
