| 1 | 15.10.2026 | AnotherNumbersGuy | 8.0 | Jay White's last 100 singles matches rate about 7.3 on average. I can see his appeal is in New Japan, but with how he's been utilized in AEW, I don't get rating him higher than an 8. Looking forward to anything happening stateside to convince me otherwise. EDIT: Not changing my rating just because sometimes people get older and they get injured more often. But I am disappointed to hear he's injured again. |
| 2 | 15.10.2026 | CashGrabWrestling | 8.0 | Now don't get me wrong, I love Jay White as a wrestler, as a promo cutter, as whatever else he is within wrestling. What's stopping me from giving a full 10 is how injury prone he is. It's an uncomfortable conversation we're having now, but a needed one; Jay White's not AEW World Champion because of the fact that he constantly gets injured. I like him, but I would love to see him as world champion IF he stops being injury prone, his group suffers this same issue. |

| 8 | 01.10.2026 | realgrapslover | 10.0 | I had to give a 10/10 for the Switchblade. If I could, easily I would give him an 11/10. When he was busy running NJPW back in the day as the leader of one of the greatest factions ever (BULLET CLUB), I have only heard about him maybe once or twice, didn't really know who he was. I stopped watching pro wrestling weekly during 2018, but I always tuned into AEW here and there. That is until I returned to watching wrestling full time in 2025. I actually became fascinated with Jay White when I had stumbled across a TikTok video of Jay cutting a promo with MJF. "The last Rock n' Rolla, The man that single handedly sold out Madison Square Garden, AND the United Center. I'm King Switch baby." It's also nice that he refers to himself as the "Catalyst of Professional Wrestling" because everything significant that happens in pro wrestling is because of him, such as the start of AEW. I looked back at his old NJPW matches and my favorite by far was the 2019 G1 Climax Final vs Kota Ibushi, which is still my second or third favorite match ever. When I watched pro wrestling from 2017-2018 it was primarily WWE, and I definitely regret not tuning into NJPW during that time period, their Golden Era. Watching his past matches in New Japan immediately made me a fan of the Switchblade, even during his long absence due to a hand injury that sidelined him for over a year. Ever since September 2025, I had been awaiting and hoping for the return of Jay White, and those annoying "Ready? " tweets before every AEW PPV gave me hope he would return, but unfortunately he didn't. Until before Forbidden Door, the tweet went from "Ready? ", to "Ready." I knew he would return. He then finally returned after almost a year of waiting for him to return, hitting David Finlay with the Bladerunner, and getting his revenge from when David Finlay blindsided him with his shillelagh to take his position as the leader of BULLET CLUB. It is also known that his AEW booking has definitely been below average, but hopefully that can turn around and we can see the AEW World Championship around his waist. I want to see this man succeed badly.This man deserves his flowers as one of the best heels in professional wrestling history. He can cut a promo, his in ring ability is undoubtedly amazing, he's the total package. My favorite wrestler ever. The greatest leader in BULLET CLUB history, the Catalyst of Professional Wrestling, the Last Rock N' Rolla, he is King Switch baby, and you can all BREATHE with the Switchblade. |

| 21 | 25.07.2026 | mikewillruhl03 | 8.0 | The Switchblade has been consistently great since his return to New Japan almost a decade ago. While being out for injury the last 15 months, his return to AEW is incredibly exciting as we have yet to really see his full potential come to form in America. Jay White is without a doubt a world champion-caliber wrestler and absolutely a secret weapon for AEW's roster. |

| 30 | 30.05.2026 | SuperLlama88 | 9.0 | Jay White has great promo skills and is talented in the ring, and has an aura about him that makes him a great heel. He was great in NJPW and deserved his world title reigns, however the way he is being used in AEW is a crime. When he comes back he needs to be a world champion as he is one of the most well rounded stars the company has. |

| 33 | 12.05.2026 | TSwifty | 9.0 | Undeniably one of AEW's biggest misses and one of NJPW's greatest hits is Jay White. New Japan succeeded in showcasing White's skills and he really felt like a big fish in a big pond. AEW failed to treat him like a big deal and I don't think his style meshed well there outside of his tag work with Robinson. AEW will have a shot at rehabilitating him as a top guy once he returns, so we'll see how that goes. Anyways, as a wrestler some people are divided into two groups over Jay White. One thinks he's boring and one of the most overrated wrestlers and the other thinks that he's underrated and one of the best heels in the industry today. I'm in the latter of the two but I won't overlook a few of his flaws which are glaring in his big matches. First let's call a spade a spade. White is a world-class heel. When he first showed up in NJPW and fought Tana in the dome I wasn't impressed. After his push, he proved his worth. White has a very classic style way of working a match. He understands psychology and how important it is in a match or against a babyface. He's great on the mic and his counter/reversal wrestling is on the same level as Okada. He's that smooth. He brings something unique yet original to the table which I have great appreciation for. I do think his match style got repetitive towards the end of his Japan run, but at its peak his match with Kota Ibushi in the G1 Climax 29 final is one of my favorite matches and the interference beautifully played into the story. But when the interference was in every one of his matches it began to lose its magic. White's mixes impactful, believable offence with believable character work. He really is a rare breed in today's wrestling landscape and it would be a damn shame if his talent goes to waste here in the states. |

| 38 | 31.03.2026 | SnowBunnyAlert45 | 9.0 | Very good and talented wreslter, has exceded his potential and has become one of the best talents to come out of japan for quite some time, also basically revived the bullet club and carried NJPW for quite some time |

| 40 | 12.03.2026 | AJ Styles was better than your favorite | 9.0 | I'm hoping this dude gets pushed to the moon when he returns because he's just as good as the likes of Ospreay, Kenny, Hangman, Mox etc. He's a great heel, even better than a Babyface, imo. I liked him in the Bullet club gold stuff but he should be doing more. If I rated him purely off AEW it'd be a 7 but I've seen him do wonderful things in NJPW so it would be a bit unfair to average this out so soon. His booking in AEW has been rough but it hasn't hurt his stock JUST yet. |

| 42 | 19.02.2026 | Shoot Style Vampire | 9.0 | Jay White was one of my favorite performers in NJPW during his main event run. He has excellent ring psychology and his smarmy heel counter wrestling game was a welcome change of pace from the maximalist style of the time. I've seen precious little of his work in AEW but the man is lowkey one of the best practitioners of classic professional wrestling going today. |

| 44 | 04.02.2026 | ReiEscobar | 8.0 | That was the roughest eight of all time, by far. Jay White had all the talent in the world to be consider a top guy in AEW and I'm pretty sure he will be an champion in AEW, for sure, just like he was at NJPW but now much BETTER because the AEW product fits with him. Although, he skill had some issues in ring that make me mad, he always need a stable at his side to make him looks at least interesting and he is a guy that we can't book at a midcard title, for example, because it always feel that we might be wasting his talent. Also, injuries sucks, but that is not his fault. Complicated, dude. |

| 72 | 31.07.2025 | gk lad0902 | 9.0 | I understand the criticisms that some people have about Jay White, and I'm taking that into consideration in this rating. But I absolutely adore this wrestler. If he had his Japan presentation in AEW he'd be an even bigger star than he already is. He's not an Ospreay, Omega or an Okada, and that's fine. But he has all the makings of a champion. He's had some terrible luck but here's to hoping he makes a return at All In in the gauntlet. |
| 73 | 24.07.2025 | Dirt | 10.0 | One of the best wrestlers in the world. Best in ring psychology and heel work in the world. Good as a face, generational as a heel. His run in New Japan remains one of the best runs ever and he only has great matches in AEW. Everything he touches turns to gold (no pun intended). |

| 83 | 04.06.2025 | arminamin | 8.0 | Jay White, Without a doubt is one of the best heels in wrestling ever. He proved that in NJPW time and time again as I found him to be the best Bullet Club leader. But his run in AEW has been.....Confusing? He started as a heel and was doing a good job. His Tag Team stuff with Juice against FTR was phenomenal.Than the MJF feud happened which partially buried him. Than for whatever reason, they decided to turn him into an act with the Gunns and since than he's..... certainly been a part of the roster. They tried a face character with him and thaat clearly failed. I don't know what direction he'll go at right now. Jay White is a great performer, but is being held back by his booking in AEW. |
