Jay White not expected to sign with WWE

WWE fans hoping to see Jay White join the company will be disappointed to hear that all signs are pointing to him not signing with the promotion. 

As previously reported, White’s New Japan Pro Wrestling contract is up. He was expected to leave New Japan Pro Wrestling with people believing both WWE and AEW that the promotions are interested in signing him.

In February, the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion lost a “Loser leaves Japan” match to Hikuleo at NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka and then lost to AEW’s Eddie Kingston at the Battle in the Valley pay-per-view in San Jose, California.  

WrestleMania weekend has come and gone and despite speculation that White could make his WWE debut on the post-Mania edition of Raw, that obviously didn’t happen.

Pwinsider Elite reports there “was absolutely no discussion of former New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Jay White within WWE at all over Wrestlemania 39 weekend.” It was added that “based on multiple conversations with WWE officials and talents, we are told it does not appear White is WWE-bound.”

It’s unclear whether White will sign with AEW or if he will consider going somewhere else with WWE no longer being a factor for now.
