Jay White sent a warning to a member of the AEW locker room after his victory at WrestleDream.
At WrestleDream, White took on ‘Hangman’ Adam Page in the opening match. The Switchblade focused his attacks on Page’s left knee. The strategy paid off, as the injured knee meant that Page was slow to hit the Buckshot Lariat, the extra time allowed White to catch Page with a Bladerunner for the victory.
Going into the event, White had been clear that Page was one of two men he blamed for derailing his path to the AEW World Championship. In a video shown on social media after his victory, he sent a warning to the second man, who he refused to name.
“Before we get there, now, I’ve ticked off Number 1…Now, I get to tick off Number 2. Now what, or who, is Number 2? We’ll have to wait and see.
“It might not be very effective if they know when I’m coming. Maybe it’ll be when you least expect it. Maybe I want you looking around the corner everywhere you go, because any corner you could come around, you could be looking down the barrel of the Bang Bang Gang, right down the barrel of The Switchblade.”
“You may think you’re the best, I will empty all of these golden bullets in your mother…chest, and if you ain’t down with that, we’ve got two words for you: guns up.”
"Switchblade" @JayWhiteNZ checked off the first name on his list to #AEW gold, but the second name on the list will just have to watch their back until the leader of the Bang Bang Gang is ready to attack. pic.twitter.com/UBaw7Dg144

After failing in his revenge mission, Jay White has challenged Adam Page to a grudge match at AEW Full Gear.
Bryan Danielson Ends Full-Time Career At AEW WrestleDream
Also at WrestleDream, Bryan Danielson lost the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley. The loss also marked the end of The American Dragon’s full-time professional wrestling career.
Unsatisfied with just beating Danielson, after the match Moxley directed a brutal assault on his former teammate that saw Wheeler Yuta trying to suffocate the fallen star with a plastic bag and ended when Claudio Castagnoli wrapped a chair around his neck and stamped on it. The show ended with EMTs checking on Danielson as he was loaded onto a stretcher.
