Mm. Huge signing. WWE could end up regretting not snatching Jay up. Mark my words. Boy looked fired up and like a star while debuting. It was a Jay thing, not a WWE thing. He didn’t want to work for Vince in creative so he never signed once Vince started angling back in January . His interest was strong prior when Triple H seemed to be in full control

He has a very average look. He kind of reminds me of an Adam Cole. I think WWE will be fine without him. He would have got lost in the shuffle.

Vince McMahon once again pours milk onto cornflakes and creates fire.

I need the whole story here. Was there traction? How far were any possible talks? If Vince didn’t show back up, would the Monday After Mania actually have had a surprise?

Yeah he’s young enough that it’s an easy decision for him. Plenty of time for a prime WWE run down the line.

Here’s what I’ve read, for what that’s worth: there was strong mutual interest between the two sides as his contract was nearing the end but he was not interested in working for a Vince-led creative (he definitely doesn’t seem like a guy Vince would push so I assume that was the worry).

Yeah idk how far he would have gotten in WWE but Vince is definitely gonna make a ton of guys and girls potentially going there a non starter I have to think, dude's really burned too many people.

Everything I've seen out of Jay White screams that he would easily slot into WWE's style. Especially with his insistence on doing shouty promos in the middle of matches, which from what I hear is the shit in the main event 'E land. Plus WWE's match style is so intentionally milquetoast that any half decent wrestler can fit in without any issue. Also it's not like his character has any less depth that what the standard WWE wrestler portrays. So I don't get the argument that he wouldn't fit when everything he does points to him slotting in without any trouble.

This screams “Hiring freeze while the sale is being done”, with a dabberoo of “I don’t want to work under Vince creative” for flavour.

Same here, I do wonder if Cody's treatment had anything to do with his final choice. Mark my words, the E might have screwed itself in regards to recruiting hot independent talent for a while. Not that Vince gives a damn. He got what he wanted.

Best for all I think as I don't think he suits WWE in any way and with Vince back I can't imagine he would have used him well at all.

AEW just really seems like a better fit for him, so I am not surprised.

I can't believe he'd stab WWE in the back like this.

Eh, that's a shame. I don't get this guy. Decent wrestler, cringelord gimmick, when did a Hot Topic cashier become the biggest "get" in wrestling?
