Jay White had multiple options after leaving NJPW, but he ultimately chose AEW. However, his momentum came to an abrupt halt when he was sidelined due to an injury, impacting the Bang Bang Gang’s progress.

White’s faction was forced to relinquish the 6-man titles following the news of his injury. This was unfortunate timing, as the group had just secured the titles and was riding a wave of enthusiasm.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, another former world champion is set to return to AEW television, which should excite fans who have missed Jay White. It was not noted exactly when he wil be back, but his return is coming soon.

The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion “Switchblade” Jay White has been out of action for over a month due to a foot injury, which led to the Bang Bang Gang vacating the trios championships. However, Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that White is now healthy, and there are plans for his imminent return to AEW television.

White’s last match was on July 6, where he suffered a loss to Hangman Page in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. The Bang Bang Gang last defended their unified Trios Titles at AEW Double or Nothing.

While White was never expected to be out of action for an extended period, it seems his return is just around the corner. It will be interesting to see how AEW integrates him back into the ongoing storylines, but there’s no doubt that the Bang Bang Gang has felt his absence.

As we monitor this situation closely, it’s clear that Jay White, a decorated champion, has his sights set on the AEW World Title. However, he must first overcome this injury hiatus before pursuing further championship glory. The future looks bright for Jay White, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
