AEW makes a huge announcement on Jay White after he gets injured

Earlier this week, AEW revealed that Jay White had been incapacitated by a heel group he had been feuding with since the end of last year. Now, the Tony Khan-led company has made a major announcement regarding The Switchblade's future.

On the April 2 edition of Dynamite, the All Elite Wrestling commentary team revealed that Jay White had been ambushed by The Death Riders off-screen, disclosing that the attack had resulted in the New Zealander being ruled out of the 2025 Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. He has been replaced by the company's latest acquisition, Kevin Knight, whom White defeated in the 28-year-old's AEW Collision debut last month.

The self-proclaimed "catalyst of professional wrestling" is reportedly dealing with a legitimate injury and is seemingly set to undergo surgery. While this appears to be the reason why All Elite Wrestling booked Jay White to be victimized by The Death Riders in a behind-the-scenes assault, the company's recent X post revealed that fans would hear from King Switch tonight on Collision.

White was supposed to face Will Ospreay in the quarterfinal of the tournament at Dynasty 2025. Kevin Knight is now slated to take his spot against The Aerial Assassin.
