#1. Hope isn't true: WWE's interest in Jay White

28-year old Jay White has emerged as one of the biggest names in wrestling outside of WWE in the last couple of years. He competed in an important main event match against Kota Ibushi at Wrestle Kingdom 15 Day Two - losing to the Japanese star.

It's always post-Wrestle Kingdom when rumors about certain big NJPW stars moving to WWE emerge. Perhaps the Superstars let the rumors play out to leverage a better contract, but there appears to be serious interest from WWE towards Jay White.

Dave Meltzer gave an update on the situation, stating that Jay White told AEW in 2018 that he was signed to a seven-year contract. That may not necessarily be true, and Meltzer went on to affirm that his contract with NJPW was possibly up.

While we understand WWE's interest, we hope this isn't true. The only reason we say so is because Jay White is still only 28 years old, which means that he is yet to hit his prime despite his accomplishments at a young age.

Male wrestlers usually hit their prime in their 30s, and WWE has enough top-tier talent. Unless there's a clear path for Jay White, it doesn't make sense for a jump to WWE just yet.
