[Jay White is sat down for a press conference surrounded by fellow Bullet Club stablemates, following his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship victory over Kazuchika Okada.]
Jay White: "My first singles match back! And when I say I'm the catalyst of professional wrestling, I make things happen. I'm not taking credit for everybody's success, but without some of my plays in play, you don't have the Good Brothers coming back to Bullet Club. You don't have the 'Undeniable' Ace Austin-- oh sorry, it's the 'Inevitable', isn't it? Joining-- undeniable, inevitable, both of those fucking things, the man's a star! Without the Catalyst you don't get those things, and more importantly Okada, without the cat-al-yst of professional wrestling, you don't hear the people cheering. Finally! It wasn't at 100%, but it's more than it has been in a number of years. So, fans, and everybody backstage! You're fucking welcome. Okada...[Bullet Club members start to applaud for Jay.] Thank you. [The Bullet Club cheer more for their leader.]
Look at that. Look at that! [Jay holds the IWGP Championship up.] Let's run through it really quick. First ever IWGP United States, Intercontinental, Heavyweight, NEVER Openweight, and now, I-W-G-P World Heavyweight Champion. Hey, and let me add... I'm not even fucking 30 years old yet! 4-1 over Okada, 'The Rainmaker', people call him the greatest, on a 4-1 singles record against myself, and this right now says that I am the fucking greatest. [Jay knocks down several cans of Sapporo beer on a table. The Bullet Club cheers in approval as El Phantasmo picks up one of the knocked over beers to shotgun it, as he rams it into his head.] That's what you call a fuckin' Bullet Club strike baby. And you know what? That message that goes to you as well, 'Hangman' [Adam Page]. You think you're the shit now because you had to run off, have your friends create a new company for you, so you could shine there, 'cuz you couldn't fuckin' shine here! You want me to remind you? Singles action, 2-0 to the mother fucking Switchblade, and that 0 is never gonna change. Never. And Adam... Cole... [Jay claps his hands.] congratulations on the Owen Hart Invitational championship, very... very proud. We got Forbidden Door comin' up boys! We have any thoughts on that matter? Let's throw it, let's throw it to Bullet Club, any thoughts on Forbidden Door, boys?"
Karl Anderson: "IS anybody from AEW anywhere near the Switchblade's level? Answer yes or no. [Bullet Club makes a buzzer sound, indicating no.] Is anybody in AEW near the Good Brother's level? [Bullet Club say no.] Is anybody from AEW anywhere on any of the Bullet Club's level? [Bullet Club say no again.] AEW bring on your best. You think we give a shit? No!"
Jay White: "Look at the way you guys look up to a guy like Okada. Hell, let's throw Kenny in there - nothing personal against Kenny, but if we go back-- a little history lesson -- I took that IWGP United States Championship from him! And then what did he do? He left. This is why I say I'm the catalyst of professional wrestling because without me, you don't even get AEW! Everything you've all come to enjoy, and love and cherish, over the past few years, you don't have without me! Because without me beating Kenny Omega, maybe he doesn't run away. Maybe he doesn't run away his success and fame with the Young Bucks and create All Elite Wrestling. And I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If he doesn't do that, you get no 'Unscripted Violence', you get no shocking return of Bryan Danielson, you get no long-awaited return of CM Punk! You get no heart-warming, long awaited triumph for 'Hangman' Page. You get no Britt Baker D.M.D., they would still be here, 'cuz they were here before. But you motherfuckers, you were nothing before. That's why you had to run off. Because without me there's also no-- hey, maybe no Adam Cole 'Bay Bay'. He'd still be sitting somewhere else, wasting away. So, AEW fans, wrestlers, all of you... You are welcome."[The Bullet Club thanks and cheers on Jay.]
Karl Anderson: "Best wrestler in the world, right here guys."
Jay White: "Thank you, thank you."
El Phantasmo: "This, this door is right open right there, boys? This door is open! Where are you guys, huh? AEW, where you at? That door is open right there!"
Jay White: "You think you're the best? This here? [Jay points to the title.] 4-1 over your guys' beloved Okada, and fuckin' everything else I've said, says otherwise so 'kanpai' [cheers in Japanese] salute the motherfuckin' Bullet Club. Cheers to that. A motherfuckin too.. [the rest of the Bullet Club join in] Sweeeeeet ...to that. [Bullet Club begins to disperse as Jay remains to talk to the camera alone.] Okada, when you regain your senses, pal, don't beat yourself up about it. You understand being in there with me, I said I'm a different animal now. It's been a while; you haven't changed buddy. But after what you just experienced in there with me, maybe you will. When you do, I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting." [Jay exits the press conference.]
