AEW factions clash as Jay White and David Finlay debut The Cut

A violent confrontation occurred between rival factions during AEW Fright Night, marking the debut of a new group known as The Cut. Jay White and David Finlay teamed up for the first time to face Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia. The match concluded when members of The Cut intervened, leading to a post-match brawl.

The conflict escalated into multiple skirmishes throughout the night. During one segment, The Cut blindsided Jon Moxley at the commentary desk. In a subsequent brawl, members of the group utilized a numbers advantage to attack Claudio Castagnoli, striking him with a shillelagh and executing a Blade Runner on the concrete floor. Castagnoli was subsequently checked by medical personnel.

Following the events, David Finlay issued a statement on social media, characterizing the alliance between himself and White as a pursuit of success through violence. He stated, “We started together dreaming of being somebody. What hope denied us, violence will deliver.”
