With IMPACT Wrestling serving up several surprises at last night's Slammiversary PPV, the promotion saved its biggest shock until the show's final few moments.

After Kenny Omega had successfully defended the IMPACT World Championship against Sami Callihan in a brutal No DQ match, the Cleaner's post-match celebrations were interrupted by none other than current Bullet Club leader Jay White.

Leaving wrestling fans eagerly wanting more, IMPACT brought the live feed of Slammiversary to a close just as Switchblade entered the ring.

Where this goes from here remains to be seen, but seeing the NEVER Openweight Champion in an IMPACT ring was spectacular.

As per Sean Ross Sapp at Fightful, White would be attacked by FinJuice - who had made their surprise IMPACT return earlier in the night - once the live feed had stopped. The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion would get the better of David Finlay and Juice Robinson, though, as he laid the pair out before departing the ring. White vs. Finlay is due to take place at next month's NJPW Resurgence iPPV.

As mentioned, Jay White is the leader of Bullet Club these days; a role that was previously held by a certain Kenny Omega.
