1) WWE Has Big Interest In NJPW Star
According to journalist Tom Colohue, WWE has had some major interest in signing Jay White for a while now. Here is what Colohue said:
I’ve heard a lot about this over the years. Just a lot but now that it’s Wrestle Kingdom, people have been a little bit more willing to talk about it. He is definitely popular within WWE, they have been talking about getting a package together and offering him a contract for a long time. But, he will either sign a new deal or mention on Talk is Jericho or something like that about not wanting to go to WWE.
Colohue also said that there are many WWE stars who want to work with White. Here is what Colohue said:
But there are so many people in the WWE, not just management, but also the wrestlers themselves who are desperate to work with Jay White. He is seen as the perfect WWE heel and I think a lot of that is because he is the perfect heel, he is the most despicable man it is possible to be. He is creepy, he is slimy, he is arrogant, he is magnificent in every possible way. It’s just perfection! I cannot hate him more. Great work. Personally, I would love to see him in the WWE.
I think you can throw him against the Nakamuras and the AJ Styles’, but also Jay White vs. Seth Rollins is just, I mean, come on! Give me Kevin Owens vs. Jay White, Give me all of those, I mean there is so much magic that could happen. He is doing very good things in New Japan. He does not want to leave to my knowledge, but there are certainly a lot of people in the WWE who are trying to stir that pot and try to make it happen.
My Take:
- Jay White is an amazing heel and would likely be great in WWE. Still, I don’t see him leaving NJPW anytime soon.
