Tony Khan, the President of AEW, has officially disclosed that “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry has been suspended indefinitely due to his actions during AEW All In.
During a post-show discussion following All Out, Khan was questioned about Jack Perry’s status and whether any disciplinary measures were taken following his backstage altercation with CM Punk. Khan revealed that everyone involved in the incident, including Perry and Punk, has been subjected to suspension.
He stated, “He’s [Perry] been suspended indefinitely. I think we’ve suspended everybody in that investigation and then took further action after that based on what happened and came out of the investigation. As for Jack, we suspended Jack and, you know, as a participant in an incident backstage. And Jack hasn’t been around but that’s all I can say about it. At the time, we did suspend him and he hasn’t been at AEW since AEW All In in London.”
Reportedly, the altercation occurred when Perry directed a comment toward CM Punk during Perry’s match against Hook at All In, leading Punk to push him. Subsequently, AEW released CM Punk before the “AEW Collision” show.
