AEW’s Jake Hager returns to the Bellator cage next week

Former WWE champ and current AEW wrestler Jake Hager will return to the Bellator cage next week.

Hager faces Brandon Calton at Bellator 250, which takes place Oct. 29 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The event airs live on CBS Sports Network.

Calton, a former super heavyweight, makes his promotional debut after a pair of stoppage wins on the regional circuit. As an amateur, he was 5-0 with two recorded knockouts.

Standing across from him at equal height – both men are 6-5 according to Tapology.com – is Hager, who made his third appearance in the Bellator cage this past October at Bellator 231.
