Jay White’s journey from the young wrestler Finn Balor helped give a big break to becoming the leader of the iconic faction the now WWE star created isn’t something he reflects on much.
“That’s a cool thing,” White, now the one in charge of Bullet Club, said in a phone interview. “It’s not something I really kind of think about too much. When you step back and look at it like that, that is a really cool story.”
White, 30, has become a flag bearer for New Japan Pro Wrestling over the past four years and is currently its IWGP World Heavyweight champion. The New Zealand native who goes by the moniker “Switchblade” worked his way up from being a “young lion” at the very bottom of New Japan’s training dojo – the opportunity Balor as Prince Devitt pushed company officials to help him land in 2014 after seeing White wrestling in the UK – to becoming one of the biggest names in pro wrestling.
“It’s vindication for me that I was right about where I was gonna go with it all basically,” said White, who also has wrestled in All Elite Wrestling and Impact this year.White will tag with fellow Bullet Club member Juice Robinson against Eddie Kingston of AEW and rival Kazuchika Okada in the main event of New Japan’s Rumble on 44Street show at the Palladium Times Square on Friday .
“The cities like New York and Chicago the fans are a big part of wrestling,” White said. “We’ve done Hammerstein Ballroom before, we had MSG and it’s always treated us well in New Japan. I think coming back here, it’s been too long since we’ve been back and hopefully we don’t leave it as long this time.”Kingston and White were supposed to be part of a six-man tag match at a New Japan show in Las Vegas in September, but the Yonkers native had to pull out after testing positive for COVID-19.
“Over here [in the U.S.] it’s professional wrestling,” White said. “Over there I don’t know what it is, but it’s not professional wrestling where the crowd has to be silent.”
