It's Jungle Boy!

Those who didn't guess correctly will be kicking themselves now, because JB looks pretty much identical 12 years on from his early cameo at SummerSlam 2009. Jungle was shown chilling in the crowd with his dad (actor Luke Perry) on that very pay-per-view.

Now, more than a decade on, he's tearing up rings himself in AEW - this Boy seems destined to be one of All Elite's breakout success stories, and he recently wrestled Kenny Omega for the promotion's World Title. That won't be his last shot at it.

JB (or lil' Luke Perry back then) sat with his father and watched matches like Randy Orton vs. John Cena, CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy in a bruising TLC main event, D-Generation X vs. Legacy and Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler. Saying that, he also had to sit through Kane vs. The Great Khali, so who's really the winner here?

The Legacy bout featured none other than Cody Rhodes, and fellow AEW stars Chris Jericho and Paul 'Big Show' Wight teamed up against Cryme Tyme elsewhere on the undercard.
