New Japan’s Jay White ambushed Trent on this week’s AEW Dynamite, and tonight White would get in the ring with Trent for his first in-ring appearance in All Elite Wrestling. White came out strong early, knocking Trent back and sending him into the corner, but Trent fought back with punches and a vicious back elbow that knocked White down to the mat. Trent hit two loud chops and White came back with a knee, and they exchanged strikes until Trent knocked him out of the ring.
