Ricky Starks was scheduled to take on Juice Robinson of Bullet Club in the opening match of the show. However, just as the show was about to begin, White ran down the entrance ramp and he and Robinson took the opportunity to start beating down Starks. They would continue to attack him until White hit the Blade Runner to close the segment.

It had been rumored that White was possibly going to be heading to WWE after his contract ended with NJPW in February of this year. However, that appears to not be the case as he is clearly now a member of the AEW roster.

 

Editor’s Opinion:

There are many people who will say that the only reason that he signed with AEW is because Vince McMahon was said to be running Raw this past Monday night. As much as I would’ve liked to see him in WWE, there was no way it was happening, regardless of who is in charge. He has too much allegiance to Bullet Club, and because of the relationship between AEW and NJPW, it was just a natural fit for him to join Tony Khan.
