NJPW’s Jay White appears on AEW Dynamite, attacks Roppongi Vice
New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Jay White appeared on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, helping the Elite attack Roppongi Vice.
On tonight’s show, Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero were doing a promo talking about their match against the Young Bucks on Rampage this coming Friday when the Bucks came in and attacked. Adam Cole eventually joined in, but the three stopped when they saw someone nearby. That was when White appeared and helped the Elite attack Roppongi Vice, sending Trent into a nearby production truck. After commenting on the Young Bucks’ earrings, White walked off.
Tony Khan on Twitter mentioned that he had secured the Jay White appearance on Sunday, mentioning that he butchered his own definition of the term “forbidden door” when announcing the new AEW signing, which later turned out to be Keith Lee.
I didn’t secure @JayWhiteNZ until Sunday. I realized after the fact that Friday night I butchered my own definition of Forbidden Door in hyping tonight. I heard the fans’ feedback, & wanted to ensure that tonight was a special #AEWDynamite for all. Thank you everyone who watched!
