5 Potential Destinations For Jay White
4. Free Agency
It sounds strange to even think of a multi-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion departing NJPW and posting a tweet taking WrestleMania weekend bookings.
Imagine Kazuchika Okada doing it. Tomohiro Ishii. Hiroshi Tanahashi. At this stage, even a Toru Yano or a Taichi posting such filth on social media would attract attention from local authorities on suspicion of a cyber attack.
It technically happened recently when former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kota Ibushi was confirmed for two GCW dates the day he became a free agent. Ibushi is a different commodity, though. He didn't become a star in NJPW; he already was one and, frankly, he's done stranger things in his career than wrestle for the Invisible Man's home promotion.
Jay White, like Okada and the others above, would gain significant buzz if he were to spend a few months to a year working on the indies. There's a pantheon of talent out there that the 'Switchblade' presumably hasn't had the chance to meet, let alone wrestle, each providing White with the chance to learn a completely different style to what he's used to in Japan and vice versa.
He's spent close to a decade working in the same place, working the same people, working the same style; stylistically, he could come out a different wrestler by the time his indy run was finished.
Just don't bet on it happening.
Probability: 5%.
