Jay White is set to compete in a huge 'Loser Leaves Japan' Match. During NJPW New Year's Dash, the Bullet Club leader challenged his former stablemate Hikuleo.

At Wrestle Kingdom 17, White suffered a huge loss to Kazuchika Okada, as he failed to retain his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

At New Year's Dash, White teamed up with Bullet Club members KENTA, El Phantasmo, and Taiji Ishimori against the team of Hikuleo, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Master Wato, and Tama Tonga. The match ended in a DQ but it was the post-match actions that made the headlines.

What did Jay White and the Bullet Club do after the match?

The Bullet Club destroyed their opponents in a brutal beatdown. This led to an irate White insulting his former stablemate for betraying the faction before the challenge was laid out.

The match is yet to be made official by New Japan officials. However, expect White vs. Hikuleo to take place within the next few weeks.

Fans on social media have already started to speculate that White's tenure in NJPW could finally come to an end. He could potentially end up in WWE or AEW if that indeed turns out to be the case.

Do you think Jay White is going to leave NJPW in 2023? Sound off in the comment section
