Jay White defeats Clark Connors, debuts new submission; post-match attack

sportsJul 23, 202641386

Jay White defeated Clark Connors on AEW Dynamite via a new submission finish, chaining a spear counter into a gator roll into a guillotine choke for the tap. White wrestled in dojo-style/gi-inspired attire, a look several observers singled out during the match. The victory ended in a rare submission finish for White and highlighted a more mat-focused, grappling direction for his offense. After the match a post-match attack by David Finlay escalated the angle and led to a challenge that booked The DOGS versus Jay White and Juice Robinson in a Double Chain Tag Team Match for Sunday’s 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

Why does anyone doubt this man? AEW Redemption was already stacked, and now, we're getting a freaking ladder match to determine a No.1 contender for a title! This is what #AEW does! They turn an already packed event into something masterful.

Wrestlesky: Redemption feels like a throw away ppv...and why no Speedball in Montreal? TK: how about a six way ladder match...headlined by Speedball!

Fanzine. Moxism was always the right way16

Im fascinated to know how Mistico vs Fletcher would have ended. Some big politics going on there when deciding that

LMAO TK announcing that a wrestler who wasn't announced for a show would be unable to make the show. That's funny. 🤼

My man looks like he just borrowed the PKA rulebook from the library.

My man is taking after Dr. Kruse, huh? 😆

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 🤼‍♂️

Jay White matches are fun when you don't have a bitch in your ear telling you otherwise. 😊 This is absolutely a match for the girlies (gn)

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

@louchadore.bsky.social

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 🤼‍♂️
