Jack Perry discussed a storyline with All Elite Wrestling that was cut short before he vanished from the spotlight. In early 2024, Perry appeared strong in a villainous role when he teamed up with the Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada to create a subgroup within The Elite. Despite this momentum, he was removed from television for an extended period.
Speaking with Vice, Perry admitted he did not foresee being off TV for as long as he was. After nearly a year away, he made a surprise return at the AEW All Out pay-per-view on September 20. Perry also confirmed that a planned feud with Kenny Omega, a significant name in AEW, was on the table but ultimately dropped by the promotion.
“I did not know I was gonna be off for as long as I was. I thought I was gonna be off a month or two and then be back. But then things just change a lot and that’s how it goes. I will say, Luchasaurus and I were always going to be back together doing something. We knew that from the day that we broke up as a tag team the first time. I also felt I had such a good run the year before. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to top that right now.’ We concluded this is probably the best time for us to do this,”
Jack Perry said.
Rekindling Jurassic Express and Breaking The Elite at AEW All Out
Perry’s return to AEW was marked by a dramatic reunion with Luchasaurus at the All Out event, signaling a rekindling of the Jurassic Express tag team. The duo had previously held the AEW World Tag Team Championship together between 2019 and 2022. This reunion led to the division of The Elite faction, an impactful shift in AEW’s current storylines.
Having previously departed as partners, Perry and Luchasaurus planned their reunion carefully, which now signals a fresh chapter for both. Though there’s uncertainty about what lies ahead for Jurassic Express or Perry’s solo career, fans should expect a nostalgic experience blended with new developments.
