Jay White defeated Clark Connors on AEW Dynamite with a new submission finish after countering a spear into a gator roll into a guillotine choke. White wore dojo-style slacks or a gi during the match, prompting commentary about a shift toward mat wrestling and grappling. The win was framed as a notable singles outing for White, with one post noting his previous singles victory had been over Kevin Knight. After the match David Finlay attacked, setting up further conflict and a challenge that pins The DOGS against Jay White and Juice Robinson in a double chain tag team match at the Redemption pay-per-view.

Clark Connors is very underrated, but this match showcased once again why I love Jay. He is a counter wrestler & his intelligence shows through in the moves he chooses and the spots he picks in a match. I love watching both these two. #AEW

Tk announcing that he'd planned for Mistico to get a shot at fletcher but since he got banged up in arena mexico...its gonna be a 6-man ladder match at redemption. Perry, speedball, kommander, Mortos, are in with 2 slots to be filled on collision. #AEWDynamite

Reminds me of when Rey Mysterio used to wear those giant pants because apparently he wanted to hide his knee braces or something like that, but I don’t think it’s the case here. But it’s an odd change and I’m curious too lol

Jay White is not a man who can rock Abdullah The Butcher pants.

Jay White: ロックボトム (ROKKU-BOTOMU) | Uranage side slam NOTES: Not to be confused with the 裏投げ (ura-nage) judo move (Sareee's finisher). In JP this'll always be a Rock bottom #AEWDynamite 🤼‍♂️

I love Jay White‘s #aewdynamite outfit I love a man unafraid to get playful with proportions. He’s wrestling in a non stretch fabric that takes 20+ minutes of pre show steaming and it is PEARLS BEFORE SWINE I SEE

WOW. Maybe Jay White wearing a gi must’ve activated something in him, Spear counter into gator roll into guillotine choke for the submission. Dude is about to be well into a mat wrestling bag. #AEW #AEWDynamite 🤼‍♂️
