Jack Perry showed up at NJPW\'s Battle in the Valley event, and he made a very bold statement. With a \"Scapegoat\" band on his arm, the former Jungle Boy ripped up his AEW contract to the shock of the pro wrestling world.
Jack Perry\'s Big NJPW Stunt
This move from the former Jurassic Express member was shocking, to say the least. They also kept the angle very close to the vest.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer brought up Perry\'s big NJPW surprise appearance. Apparently, even security was in the dark about what was going to happen.
The security didn’t know about this angle. They thought it was a fan hitting the ring. They were quickly told it wasn’t.
Jack Perry\'s AEW Status
Jack Perry\'s absence from AEW is notable, and it is even more odd that Tony Khan would allow this huge angle about his company to go down during a NJPW event. Obviously, there is a lot to unpack here, but Perry needs to make some kind of impression on AEW television to really send the message home.
He has been absent from AEW television for a very long time, as CM Punk, who was fired for his part in Brawl In, is already back in WWE at this point.
While some fans thought The Devil was Perry, that role went to Adam Cole. Now, the pro wrestling world will have to wait and see how Tony Khan plays his next move in this situation.
