Ladies and gentlemen, “Switchblade” Jay White just played his cards perfectly on AEW Dynamite! In a heated triple-threat showdown against Swerve Strickland and Roderick Strong, White snagged the victory and locked in the coveted first spot in next week’s Casino Gauntlet Match.
Despite the crowd’s love for Strickland, it was White who stood tall. Strickland dominated early, taking the fight to both White and Strong with surgical precision. Strong had his moments too, hitting a jaw-dropping Tiger Driver on White that nearly sealed the deal. Swerve almost flipped the script with his signature stomp, but White’s veteran instincts—and a bit of luck—kept him in the game.
But then, the chaos escalated. Strickland, poised for a gravity-defying kick off the barricade, was blindsided by Ricochet, wielding scissors. (Yes, scissors!) A stunned crowd watched as Ricochet drew blood from Strickland and then amped up the violence in the ring with a brutal Spirit Gun.
Meanwhile, White capitalized on the carnage, rolling Strong into the ring and delivering a devastating Blade Runner for the pinfall. Victory secured, White exited triumphantly while Ricochet continued his scissors-wielding mayhem on Strickland. This led to Adam Cole and the Undisputed Kingdom storming the ring to save Swerve and chase off Ricochet, proving AEW isn’t just about wrestling—it’s a full-blown cinematic universe of chaos.
Next week’s Casino Gauntlet Match just got even more interesting with Jay White leading the charge. But with Ricochet and his hardware lurking, who knows what’s next?
