At NJPW Battle In The Valley, the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion lost to Eddie Kingston in a Loser Leaves NJPW match as well. Due to this, it was made certain that his time in NJPW is done.
Speculation regarding his pro wrestling future ran rampant after that. According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, WWE is “certainly the favorite” to sign the Bullet Club leader.
Nobody in WWE has confirmed Jay White coming in, but they are certainly the favorite. One would think if White was going to AEW, he’d be able to work big shows with New Japan and would continue to do so, but they wouldn’t do the loser leaves for good stipulation.”

Now that Jay White’s time in NJPW has come to an end, we will have to wait and see whether the Switchblade will end up making his way to WWE in the future.
