Last Sunday, IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong> delivered one of the biggest surprises of the year when renowned New Japan Pro-Wrestling<\/strong> star \u201cSwitchblade\u201d Jay White<\/strong> made his debut appearance<\/a> to close their Slammiversary<\/em><\/strong> pay-per-view.<\/p>\n

Following the excellent main event match where Kenny Omega<\/strong> retained the IMPACT World Championship by defeating Sami Callihan<\/strong>, Jay White made his way to the ring and confronted the group of Omega, Karl Anderson<\/strong>, Doc Gallows,<\/strong> and Don Callis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With White\u2019s motivation still unknown, there is a world of possibilities for world-class quality matches waiting for him in the IMPACT roster. Let’s discuss four of the most attractive possible matches we could see out of “Switchblade” in the next couple of months under the IMPACT umbrella.<\/p>\n

Jay White & Dream Opponents in IMPACT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Josh Alexander<\/h3>\n

Assuming White will be taking on more opponents outside of the Elite<\/strong> bubble, there might be no better choice than “The Walking Weapon” to showcase the abilities “Switchblade” to new audiences who might not be familiar with his fast-paced, hard-hitting style.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying though that Josh Alexander<\/strong> would not only be only a tune-up or a showcase match for White, as the former IMPACT Tag Team Champion is rapidly becoming one of the company\u2019s biggest assets and hottest wrestlers. He proved this yet again last Sunday during the Ultimate X Match at Slammiversary<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also, Josh Alexander just might be the closest to wrestling a style White might be used to, while also presenting a different enough approach in Alexander\u2019s powerhouse moves to almost guarantee a Match of the Year candidate.<\/p>\n

Not only does this match makes perfect sense due to the raw talent from both performers in the ring, but also because Jay White is the current NEVER Openweight Champion. Essentially, this creates a \u201cChampion vs. Champion\u201d feud.<\/p>\n

\"Jay<\/p>\n

Jay White & Kenny Omega vs. Juice Robinson & David Finlay<\/h3>\n

After Slammiversary<\/em> went off the air following White facing off with Omega and the Good Brothers, out came Juice Robinson<\/strong> and David Finlay<\/strong> to very heelish-ly attack White. Before White could hit the Bladerunner, the attackers run out.<\/p>\n

This should suggest that there\u2019s unfinished business between FinJuice<\/strong> and “Switchblade” that needs solving all the way in the U.S. Additionally, while White and the members of The Elite might not be on the same page just yet, they also aren\u2019t in an all-out war with each other. This translates perfectly into White and Omega having to team together to deal with FinJuice before their eventual one-on-one classic.<\/p>\n

With all this perfectly fitting imaginary storyline in mind, a high-profile tag team program along with the IMPACT World Champion might also be an effective way to present “Switchblade” to a brand new audience. It also opens an opportunity to provide the best in-ring matches for returning live audiences without burning through their possibilities too early.<\/p>\n

Finally, the true potential for this being one of the best possible matches for Jay White in IMPACT is the combination of styles between him and Omega and between the both of them and FinJuice. Seeing the four of them in the same ring would be a way to make sure we get the best possible match on the card.<\/p>\n
