Following the closing moment of the chaotic four-way ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at All Out, “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry made his return to All Elite Wrestling for the first time in over a year.
The moment came across as an unplanned shock to the live crowd inside the Scotiabank Arena, but behind the scenes, it had been in the works for months.
According to Fightful Select, AEW had already mapped out Perry’s return to television well ahead of time.
“The wheels have been in motion for Jack Perry to return for quite some time now, as we’d reported in late July that there were plans for him to come back.”
This update makes it clear that Perry’s comeback was not a last-minute twist but a piece of long-term creative planning.
