Jay White‘s “U-S-of-Jay Open Challenge” will continue at NJPW’s Lonestar Shootout on April 1, and it has already been answered.
Previously, White has faced stars like Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels as part of this open challenge in his mission to face the best competitors throughout the United States.
In a tweet on February 28, NJPW shared a clip of “Speedball” Mike Bailey confronting “Switchblade” and agreeing to face him at the show, which will be held alongside WrestleCon. Bailey referenced the way White and his Bullet Club ambushed him upon his arrival in IMPACT Wrestling. For this reason, he wants revenge.
April 1, @jaywhiteNZ comes to Lonestar Shootout at WrestleCon!
And his mystery U-S-of-Jay Open Challenge opponent looks to be set… in @SpeedballBailey!
