According to Sapp, this was in the works week ago but WWE apparently still had hope.

One of the rare times that a big AEW debut hasn't been leaked in advance.
I really wasn't expecting this tonight.

I would've liked his debut to have a little more sizzle to it, but I'm just glad the dude is here and I popped huge

I know ima sound like I’m beating a dead horse but huge signing. And to the doubters. Give it time. He’s not a gigantic star yet. If Tony books him right, Jay could be a staple of the company.
Looked great too. Moving crisp, dude was on fire during that debut, he was feeling it. I’m kind of glad MJF’s more than likely gonna keep the belt for a minute cause Jay’s gonna have plenty of time to establish himself as a Top Heel main eventer. He’s gonna kill it.

I know it’s be easy to say that all the upheaval in WWE in recent days sealed the deal for White to go to AEW, but he’d probably already made up his mind before all that.

I'd say it's possible the Vince stuff impacted it, but less the last four days and more that there were already rumblings and signs that this was going to happen months ago.

I'm convinced that these guys all talk on the low and know exactly when to say what to make sure it's all clear when the time is right when it comes to negotiations. I think you're spot on.

TK needs to push him as a main eventer immediately.

I think he said on record he did not want to go to a Vince-led WWE so I have to imagine it would have decided his fate no matter what

Bringing Jay in does make more sense of the Starks and Juice feud and why it was being dragged out further than it needed to be. I can believe they've been planning it for a few weeks.

I wonder how they get around the stips from his last matches because there's no way they don't use him at some point for New Japan crossover.

all insiders are saying that WWE messed this up royally. He was basically sealed, signed, and delivered and WWE just stopped talking to him.
