Select Answers: Ospreay Entrance, Bullet Club Gold, Asuka
Added 2025-03-12 16:00:13 +0000 UTCWelcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.

Any news on why Will Ospreay went full EDM for his entrance ?
It was a special entrance for a match that was very important to him in a very famous arena on a big show. That's about it!
What’s up with Bullet Club Gold? Jay seems like he keeps getting lost in the title picture and it’s incredibly frustrating. This is as bad as hangman’s booking post punk.
There are creative plans for Switchblade Jay White, but I haven't heard if they involve Bullet Club Gold. The Gunns came back from Austin's injury, had a short program and haven't been on TV much. Juice Robinson is expected to miss some more time.
Asuka update?
I can't speak to her health status or anything like that, but she had been pitched for creative heading in to WrestleMania as far back as January. I've not heard anything since but at the time, she'd been pitched for a tag team program.
Comments
Yes but that is recent like within the past 4-6 weeks, my point was still true even before this.

2025-03-12 17:43:38 +0000 UTCConsidering Hangman's booking post Punk was "be off tv for a year and a half" I don't think Jay's issue is similar but I get the frustration

2025-03-12 17:11:48 +0000 UTCThat's because War Dogs are a subgroup, their logo is a BC variation. Evil is literally trying to kick the War Dogs out of Bullet Club and take leadership from Finlay.

2025-03-12 16:58:30 +0000 UTCThis happens all over the place. Nakamura won the US Title and just...nothing

2025-03-12 16:24:22 +0000 UTCJay White is just a guy. He has no connection with the crowd and that's not his booking or creative, that's just him. He's not top gaijin. He's one in a crowd and he's not amongst the best.

2025-03-12 16:17:09 +0000 UTCJay White has shown nothing i AEW or NJPW to show he should be a top guy, whether it's NJPW or AEW he has underdelivered at every stop and has never made an effort to be anything other than "generic Bullet Club white guy no.291047"

2025-03-12 16:16:17 +0000 UTCI can't imagine what people see in Jay White that makes people want him hold the top title, especially over guys like Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman, Omega, etc. His IWGP title run was objectively bad and underdelivered in every big match he had. Jay White has never had any depth to his character or promos even in NJPW besides just being the leader of a faction that had excessively overstayed it's welcome before Jay White even became it's leader. I'm over the guys who can't get over being in Bullet Club even after they aren't in it anymore...which is pretty much just Jay White at this point. Even Kidd/Drilla/Sanada/Finlay/Connors often don't refer to themselves as Bullet Club much even tho they are the actual current Bullet Club, they more often refer to themselves as just the War Dogs.

2025-03-12 16:14:01 +0000 UTCShould be noted that AEW's music guy Mikey ruckus is putting out a new rave compilation of some of the aew themes & it's possible that the little EDM bit during Ospreay's entrance was part of it to give everyone a preview of it
Rj
2025-03-12 16:10:31 +0000 UTCThat, is in fact, what lost means lol... his lost booking/creative has made him just a guy... Okada's kinda there too right now

2025-03-12 16:10:16 +0000 UTCThis is the problem with AEW... storylines, factions, groups, history, etc. just gets dropped for no reason with no explanation... Gunns come back, and haven't even interacted with Jay or been mentioned by Jay... why not at least have them do a 2-minute interaction backstage, even if its just put on social media... Jay talking to the Gunns would have literally no impact on his current story, just actually think about these things logically... it doesn't make any sense.

2025-03-12 16:09:05 +0000 UTCJay White isn't lost. He just isn't the guy. He's like 8 down from being the guy right now.
