There was definite doubt among fans early in Jay White’s AEW run with regards to whether he made the right choice in signing with that promotion over WWE.
The 31-year-old wasn’t positioned as anyone special on the shows and wasn’t featured consistently, but the arrival of AEW Collision in the summer gave him the platform he needed to shine.
Since then, White has generated great momentum in his matches with FTR, Andrade El Idolo and The Elite. His challenge to MJF for an AEW World Championship match at Full Gear was rather random, but he’s quickly proved himself worthy of main event exposure by excelling in every situation he’s been put in.
Outclassing MJF on the mic is an impressive feat in itself, let alone his above-average in-ring ability. AEW has done everything right with Switchblade so far in the build to their bout, making him come across as a genuine threat to the title in the process.
If babyface MJF will be a permanent fixture for the foreseeable future, it might be time to cement White as AEW’s lead heel with a world title win at Full Gear.
