Jay White was once desperately wanted by the WWE, but he ended up going to AEW after his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling came to an end. The New Zealand-born superstar has been on a roll ever since stepping foot in AEW and has been involved in feuds with stars like Ricky Starks and Shawn Spears.
White and Juice Robinson have been in a tag team, and on last night’s episode of Collision, they beat FTR. Jay White showcased why he is such a big draw by showing off his great in-ring technique and also his engagement with the crowd.
After his impressive showing, fans took to Twitter to sing his praises and predicted that it was only a matter of time before he became the AEW World Champion.

Will WWE regret missing out on Kota Ibushi?
Former NJPW star Kota Ibushi is a free agent after his contract with the Japanese promotion ended in February. There was a lot of chatter about him making a comeback to WWE, but that ship seems to have sailed, as reports have now emerged that he is in talks with AEW.
A report from Fightful Select shed light on how Ibushi’s meeting with AEW transpired, and if all ends well, we will see him in an AEW ring soon. He is rumored to make his debut on the July 19th episode of Dynamite.
WWE will no doubt regret missing out on a big-time star, but their loss seems to be AEW’s gain as the Tony Khan-led promotion looks to shake things up in the wrestling world.
