Switchblade Jay White on Sasha Banks, Mia Yim, Okada, Inoki
Added 2022-12-10 18:50:15 +0000 UTCFightful spoke with Switchblade Jay White ahead of the December 11 NJPW Strong tapings in Californiaand Wrestle Kingdom.
We asked him about rumors of Sasha Banks and NJPW, and he said that he hasn't heard anything, but he'd love to introduce himself to her. When we asked if we thought she'd make a good addition to Bullet Club, he said that's why he wants to introduce himself. He also implied that Mia Yim is an actual Bullet Club member, saying "it appears we have a new member in Mia Yim." When we followed up and asked if he considered her a full fledged member, he says that Karl Anderson and Gallows don't need to run anything by him. He spoke of being excited for Kairi being at Wrestle Kingdom as well.
Switchblade says he's trying to arrange one big pro wrestling Bullet Club hug, and hopes that his presence can make that happen. He feels like he and NJPW are at the epicenter of what everyone wants to do in wrestling, which is how they stay involved in everything.
He was heavily into sell mode on the Okada match, noting that he's 4-1 against Okada, and 4-0 in Japan, and doesn't want to face him anymore if he wins. While he never met Antonio Inoki, he will honor Inoki by winning in his own way, not the NJPW way. He doesn't believe Hikuleo and GOD would be welcomed back into Bullet Club but would never say never. The expansion of Bullet Club into AEW, IMPACT and WWE has worked much better than he expected, even.
The full interview is available for tier 2 subscribers early, and will be released publicly on Sunday.
