On last night’s episode of Dynamite, AEW star Jack Perry defeated Dustin Rhodes, securing his spot in the upcoming TNT championship ladder match at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view on June 30. Many wrestling fans believe Perry is the favorite to win the belt, especially considering his association with The Elite and their current success in the promotion.
In a post-show promo, Perry, also known as The Scapegoat, expressed his confidence in winning the championship. He stated that he has been chosen by the universe and has sacrificed a lot for the true spirit of AEW. Despite not caring about the wrestling business as a whole, Perry is determined to become the next TNT Champion at the Forbidden Door event.
Since his return to AEW, Perry has been emphasizing the concept of sacrifice and his commitment to AEW’s core values. His mention of certain individuals poisoning the true spirit of the promotion may be a nod to his past issues with CM Punk and The Elite’s goal of preserving AEW’s original culture.
With Perry’s unconventional attitude towards the wrestling business, it raises the question of whether the next TNT champion will be someone who doesn’t prioritize the industry. Share your thoughts on this matter in the comments section below, Cagesiders.
