A former AEW champion’s defeat on Dynamite has led to outrage among fans on social media. Former AEW World Trios Champion Jay White has been one of the most beloved stars in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Fans were excited when he returned to All Elite Wrestling a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he lost to Jon Moxley tonight in the quarterfinals of the Continental Cup Challenge.
The Bang Bang Gang leader hasn’t been able to gain momentum since becoming All Elite. Last year, he was set to have a huge push ahead of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation tournament. Unfortunately, he injured his hand ahead of the tourney. Due to the injury, he had to sit on the shelf for over a year. He returned to the Jacksonville-based promotion at Forbidden Door and started feuding with David Finlay.
The two stars collided in a singles contest in the first round of the Continental Challenge Cup on last week’s Dynamite. The Switchblade advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating his NJPW arch-nemesis. Tonight, he had a much bigger challenge. He faced the Continental Champion Jon Moxley. The One True King had defeated Jack Perry in a great first-round contest.
Tonight on Dynamite, Jon Moxley and Jay White wrestled a top-notch match. Despite his best efforts, the former AEW World Trios Champion lost the match and is out of the Continental Challenge Cup. Meanwhile, the reigning Continental Champion has advanced to the semifinals.
Fans are upset that the Switchblade was eliminated from the tournament. Many even claimed that he should leave AEW. Several fans commented that he would be successful if he were signed to WWE right now.
Take a look at some of the fan reactions below:
It is still unclear what Jay White will be doing at All In, which is just a few days away. It remains to be seen if he gets a title shot at Wembley Stadium.
