Jack Perry, also known as Jungle Boy, has returned to wrestling after a hiatus.
After his disappearance following the incident with CM Punk at AEW All In 2023 last August, fans wondered when they would see him again. Perry made his return to wrestling at the NJPW ‘Battle in the Valley’ event this past Saturday.
Perry made his presence known during the show after a six-man tag match. Fred Rosser, Jacob Fatu, and Shota Umino went over Jorel Nelson, Royce Isaacs, and Tom Lawlor. Perry, wearing a mask, attacked Umino. Perry then went on to tear up his AEW contract and donned an armband with the word “SCAPEGOAT” written on it.
While speaking on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that security was not informed about the surprise appearance. They were quickly clued in that it was a work.
