Jack Perry has returned, but it was not the return wrestling fans were expecting.
The former AEW tag team champion and one-time FTW Champion popped up at this evening’s NJPW Battle In The Valley event in San Jose, where he attacked Shota Umino. Perry then revealed an AEW contract, ripped it up, then put on an armband that reads, “Scapegoat.”

This is Perry’s first appearance since his matchup against HOOK at AEW All In from Wembley Stadium last August. Following his match Perry got into a scuffle with CM Punk, which led to his suspension and Punk’s firing. Punk is now back in WWE.
Stay tuned.
