>>12570322There were a lot of circumstances working against him in AEW. Jay came into AEW on short notice during the WWE hiring freeze. They had absolutely no plans for him for the first few months. CM Punk pushed him heavily as a main heel on Collision, where he kind of got over for a while with the cardboard cutout gimmick, but then Brawl In happened, Punk got fired and Jay got stuck in a terrible feud with MJF that ended in a shitty match everyone hated. Now Jay's stuck in the AEW G1 having regular matches with no direction again.
