Chris Jericho: Jay White Was On A Silver Platter For WWE, He Chose AEW
On the April 5 episode of AEW Dynamite, Jay White officially became All Elite when he attacked Ricky Starks and reunited with Bullet Club member Juice Robinson.
White was a free agent after losing a loser leaves NJPW match to Eddie Kingston at NJPW Battle in the Valley.
Speaking to Tim and Eli on Battleground, Chris Jericho was speaking about AEW’s accomplishments in the first four years, how he wanted to make history along with Tony Khan and The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks), and how White’s decision proves AEW still has plenty of momentum.
“Jay White, what a great example of us still having momentum. Hottest free agent in the world. Silver platter for WWE. The guy is 6’4”, he’s international, he has the accent, which chicks love. He’s a great worker, great heel, great babyface. He chose AEW. If that doesn’t tell you that something is going on with us, I don’t know what will. Just to continue to build that momentum is a very exciting prospect,” he said.
