Kota Ibushi put his IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles on the line against Jay White in the main event of night two of Wrestle Kingdom 15. However, Jay White was not able to defeat Ibushi for the titles.
Following his defeat after the instant classic match, White cut a promo where he stated that he is quitting NJPW.
White was also beaten by Tomohiro Ishii the next day at New Year’s Dash. Now it seems he really might be leaving the company.
According to a report by The Super-J Cast, Jay White’s contract with NJPW will be ending this month. It was also said that WWE is currently interested in hiring White.
Several sources have indicated there is some doubt whether Jay White will extend his NJPW contract, rumoured to be up at the end of the month. WWE are believed to be making a strong play for him and it’s 50/50 whether he stays or goes.
We will have to see if he eventually joins WWE.
