AEW have had talks with Jay White.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that Jay White had backdoor talks with AEW regarding a deal. However, as White had a 7-year contract with NJPW back then, nothing could have been done.
Jay White was absolutely, you know, backdoor approach, he was talked to in AEW. He said ‘I have a 7-year deal,’ so they never talked to him again. There’s a lot more money to make in AEW, so I’m sure there’s interest in both places[WWE & AEW].

As fans are more than aware by now, Jay White is booked in a “Loser Leaves Japan” match on February 11th against Hikuleo. By the looks of it, he is likely to lose to Hikuleo and end his run with NJPW. Then again, Hikuleo is also a guy that WWE has on their radar, so that match is seemingly up in the air.
