Jay White to face Alex Shelley at Impact Wrestling Sacrifice

Bullet Club leader Jay White is set for action at Impact Wrestling’s next special event.

Impact Wrestling announced today that White will face Alex Shelley at Sacrifice on Saturday, March 5. The show will air live on Impact Plus and for subscribers of Impact’s Ultimate Insiders YouTube service.

White defeated Eric Young at Impact’s No Surrender event last Saturday. Later in the show, White betrayed Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa and caused them to lose a title match against Impact Tag Team Champions Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows.

Bullet Club members White, Anderson, Gallows, and Chris Bey stood united after Anderson & Gallows defeated Tonga & Loa. 

White also made his AEW debut earlier this month and defeated Trent Beretta on last week’s episode of Rampage.

Shelley has previously been a mentor to White. In 2015, White’s NJPW debut was a singles match where he lost to Shelley.

Sacrifice will be the first time Shelley has wrestled for Impact since 2020. He had to miss Impact’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view in 2021 due to his job as a physical therapy clinician. Shelley noted that he couldn’t risk exposure to COVID-19 at that time.

White vs. Shelley is the first match that’s been announced for Sacrifice. The show is being held at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.
