Tony Khan 'Still Really Mad' At Jack Perry After AEW Loses Punk

Friction lingers between AEW owner Tony Khan and wrestler Jack Perry (better known by his in-ring name) following a backstage altercation last August. The incident, reportedly stemming from a disagreement over the use of real glass, led to the firing of CM Punk and Perry's suspension.

At AEW All Out in London, Perry delivered a line referencing "real glass" after a spot involving a car windshield. This came after CM Punk, according to backstage reports, advised against using real glass for a separate segment. The comment allegedly sparked a heated confrontation between Perry and Punk after the match, culminating in their departures from the company.



Khan expressed feeling his safety was compromised for the first time at a wrestling event. While Perry wasn't fired, he remains on the sidelines and hasn't been used by AEW since the incident. Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer suggests Khan holds Perry responsible for losing CM Punk, a major acquisition for the company.

"He has not been fired. He’s absolutely not been fired, but they’re not using him.

“Essentially, Tony’s really mad at him because he cost him CM Punk. He’s getting the blame.”

Since leaving AEW, Perry has competed in NJPW, even adopting the nickname "The Scapegoat" – a likely reference to the situation. He recently joined the villainous House of Torture faction.

CM Punk, on the other hand, has returned to WWE, aiming for an appearance at WrestleMania despite a recent injury.
