An unfortunate update has emerged regarding the status of injured AEW star “Switchblade” Jay White. A new report from Fightful Select suggests his return may be further away than anticipated, as he is dealing with a second injury that could require surgery.
White Reportedly Dealing With Shoulder Injury
According to the report, in addition to the hand injury that has kept him out of action for the last several months, White has also been dealing with a shoulder injury. Sources in the company have reportedly said that White has been considering whether or not to undergo shoulder surgery. If he does opt for surgery, it is possible he could miss the remainder of 2025.
Another Injury Setback For The Bang Bang Gang
This news is another significant blow to White’s faction, the Bang Bang Gang, which has been plagued by injuries. Juice Robinson recently returned after missing seven months, only for Colten Gunn to be immediately sidelined with a knee injury. The group has not been fully healthy at the same time for a long while.
Jay White has not been present at recent AEW television tapings. His absence is a significant one for the main event scene, as the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is considered one of the top heels in the company. Fans will now await further updates on his decision regarding potential shoulder surgery and a more definitive timetable for his return.
