Last night on Dynamite, AEW star Jack Perry emerged victorious over Dustin Rhodes, earning his place in the TNT championship ladder match at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view on June 30. Many wrestling fans believe that Perry is the favorite to win the belt due to his connection with The Elite and their success.
In a post-show promo, Perry, also known as The Scapegoat, expressed his confidence in winning the championship. He spoke about how he has been chosen by the universe and has sacrificed a lot for the true spirit of AEW. This dedication is not just for the wrestling business, but for the essence of AEW before outside influences tainted it.
Perry’s recent comments could be seen as a nod to his previous issues with CM Punk and The Elite’s desire to restore AEW to its original culture. Since his return to AEW, he has been emphasizing the concept of sacrifice and not being focused solely on the wrestling industry itself. Instead, he is focused on the core values of AEW.
It’s interesting to consider whether the next TNT champion will be someone who doesn’t care about the wrestling business or just wants to win for personal reasons. Share your thoughts on this in the comments below, Cagesiders.
