He’s Here Too: Another Former World Champion Makes AEW Debut

Close the door behind you. AEW has done quite a few good things for the wrestling world, including adding a new place for all kinds of new wrestlers. Some of these wrestlers are names that you might not have not seen before. One of AEW’s most interesting traditions has been allowing wrestlers from other promotions to showcase themselves on a bigger stage. That was the case again this week.

This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite featured the debut of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Jay White. During the show, White attacked Roppongi Vice to assist Adam Cole and the Young Bucks. This did not sit well with the Bucks, who were unhappy with Cole for not telling him that White was coming due to White’s issues with Kenny Omega in Japan. White came to the company through the Forbidden Door concept of bringing in wrestlers who are under contract with other promotions, meaning White has not been signed to AEW.

Opinion: While the main focus of the show was on the debut of Keith Lee, White is another big name for AEW to bring in. White is likely going to be mainly involved with the Elite to tie in to their stories from New Japan, which is usually the biggest story in AEW. I’m curious to see if White gets to showcase his incredible talent in AEW, as it would be quite the boost if he is there at full strength.

What do you think of White? What can he do in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
