Jack Perry Re-Signs with AEW, Targets World Championship

Jack Perry’s future in All Elite Wrestling is no longer in question. During the Beach Break edition of AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, July 9, the company aired a pre-recorded vignette showing Perry putting pen to paper on a new long-term deal alongside AEW President Tony Khan. In the segment, Perry spoke about his goals going forward, making clear that winning the AEW World Championship is his primary ambition. He did not appear live during the broadcast.

The signing brings resolution to a situation that had drawn attention in recent days. Earlier in the week, it had been reported that Perry’s previous contract was approaching expiration with a new deal not yet in place. Tony Khan had spoken optimistically about reaching a long-term agreement during a media call ahead of Forbidden Door, and that optimism has now been rewarded.

Perry is one of AEW’s true originals, having competed in the Casino Battle Royale at the very first Double or Nothing event. He spent his early years in the promotion as part of Jurassic Express alongside Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt, a run that included an AEW World Tag Team Championship reign. His singles career proved equally fruitful, with Perry going on to hold the TNT Championship, the National Championship, and the FTW Championship.

His most recent in-ring appearance came on the June 24 edition of Dynamite, where he fell to Zack Sabre Jr. With a new contract secured and championship aspirations on the table, Perry figures to be a central figure in AEW’s landscape for years to come.
