Jamie White[5] (born 9 October 1992), better known by the ring name Jay White, is a New Zealand professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, where he is the leader of the Bang Bang Gang. White is a former Unified World Trios Champion (AEW World Trios and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion). Prior to signing with AEW, White had a decorated career in New Japan Pro-Wrestling as the first ever NJPW Grand Slam Champion.

After starting his career in 2013, White joined NJPW the following year as a Young Lion. In June 2016, White left for an overseas trip, in which he worked for the American Ring of Honor (ROH) and the British Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW) promotions through NJPW's international unions. White finally returned to NJPW in November 2017 and won the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship the next January. In 2018, he betrayed his fellow Chaos stablemates to join Bullet Club, finally becoming the group's fifth leader. White is also a former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, IWGP Intercontinental Champion, and NEVER Openweight Champion, making him the fifth NJPW Triple Crown Champion and the first NJPW Grand Slam Champion. In 2022, White also captured the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
