Jay White Reportedly Set To Be Part Of Clockwork Carnage Before AEW All Out Injury

Jay White was reportedly originally part of the Clockwork Carnage lineup.

On this past week’s combined three-hour broadcast of Dynamite and Collision, a major focus was put on completing the field for tomorrow night’s Clockwork Carnage. As a result, the seven men challenging for Will Ospreay’s AEW World Championship are Samoa Joe, Darby Allin, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Mike Bailey, Ricochet, and Adam Copeland. However, it now seems the field was originally set to be different.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s believed Jay White was originally set to be in the match instead of Adam Copeland.

“The belief is that Jay White was originally scheduled in Copeland’s spot, but White was injured in his match at All Out. With Christian Cage injured seriously at the same show, meaning the Copeland & Christian tag team is being put on hold, it made sense for Copeland to be put in this match.”
