Report: Tony Khan 'Really Likes' Jay White

While Jay White has not always been positioned in the main event scene since signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2023, AEW President Tony Khan "really likes" the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.

That is according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, who noted that Jay White would likely be back on TV as soon as he is ready to return from a broken hand.

"I don't know when Juice [Robinson] or Jay are back. Juice is gonna be back soon, I know that, or ready to be back. I don't know if he'll be back but he should be ready soon. And Jay, I know Tony really likes Jay White, so I think that when Jay White is ready, he'll be back. I would think it should be soon on him too. I mean, he broke his foot [hand] but that injury isn't usually as long as this," Meltzer said.

Jay White has been out of action since early April, being written off AEW TV with a backstage attack from the Death Riders. It emerged shortly after that White had legitimately suffered a broken hand which led to significant creative changes, one of which may have been the scrapping of a Jay White heel turn.

Jay White's Bang Bang Gang stablemate Juice Robinson is also currently out of action with a broken fibula. Their colleagues in The Gunns are not injured but have simply not been used by All Elite Wrestling since February.
