Backstage Update On Jack Perry's AEW Future
Jack Perry hasn't been seen in AEW since being suspended post-All In...
AEW is reportedly in no rush to bring Jack Perry back to television following his indefinite suspension, reports PWInsider Elite.
Mike Johnson writes that sources have indicated a belief that Perry is no longer suspended. Nonetheless, AEW isn't hurrying his comeback, theorising that the longer the former 'Jungle Boy' is away from the company, the more distance he can put between himself and his melee with CM Punk.
Punk and Perry are understood to have fought backstage at August's All In pay-per-view, stemming from a previous incident where Punk had chastised the former FTW World Champion for wanting to use real glass as part of an angle. The controversy resulted in both men being served indefinite suspensions by AEW.
The following week, AEW fired Punk with cause. Company founder and CEO Tony Khan said that he "feared for his life" while the All In incident was unfolding.
Perry's last onscreen appearance saw him drop the FTW Title to Hook at All In. Following the Punk incident, he was reportedly escorted out of Wembley Stadium by security.
Jack, 26, has been with AEW since its first year of operation, 2019.
