Folks, the “Switchblade” Jay White is back, and he made sure everyone knew it by making an entrance louder than a fire alarm in a chili factory. On the fifth anniversary of AEW Dynamite, in the heart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, White returned in classic fashion—by attacking none other than Hangman Adam Page, and trust me, it was the kind of chaos you dream about (or have nightmares about, depending on whose side you’re on).
Let’s break it down: Juice Robinson, fresh off being on the wrong end of a Buckshot Lariat from Page, was about to be sent to cowboy purgatory. Hangman was in full cowboy mode, belt buckle and all, using his belt like it was the Wild West. He wrapped it around Juice’s neck like he was about to lasso him into submission. It was brutal, folks, a true cowboy beatdown. But then, like a phoenix rising from the ashes—or more like a Switchblade cutting through the tension—Jay White’s music hit.
Cue the madness. White blindsided Hangman with a clothesline that could’ve knocked the mustache off a sheriff. Hangman scrambled out of the ring, but White was not done—oh no, folks, he was just getting warmed up. The Bang Bang Gang reunited, with White checking on his buddy Juice before going full vigilante. He didn’t just chase Page out of the ring; he pursued him into the crowd, with chops that echoed through the arena like the world’s angriest applause. Then, in the ultimate “you thought I was done?” move, White sent Page crashing through a table propped up against the barricade, leaving splinters and shattered dreams in his wake.
With Juice Robinson standing tall again and White glaring menacingly at Hangman, you could feel it—this feud is far from over. It was only a few months ago, in July, that Hangman handed Jay White a tough loss in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinals, so you know White has a score to settle.
Rumors of White’s return have been swirling since August, with reports saying he was healthy and ready to get back to business. And business, folks, is now booming. White was sidelined due to a foot injury, but last night he proved that he’s not just back—he’s back with a vengeance.
So here we are, with Hangman Page undoubtedly looking over his shoulder and Jay White poised to carve his way to the top once more. You wanted fireworks for AEW Dynamite’s fifth anniversary? You got ‘em, folks. And trust me, this is just the beginning.
