Since leaving WWE in 2017, Hager has done some Independent wrestling, most notably showing up in Lucha Underground to win the Lucha Underground Championship. Technically, he is still the Lucha Underground Champion and will likely be their final champion as a fifth season of the show is unlikely.
Along with making various Independent wrestling appearances, Hager is a currently active MMA fighter, competing in Bellator MMA, where he holds a 2-0 record.
