Tony Khan has confirmed that Jack Perry has been suspended indefinitely.
Perry was involved in a backstage confrontation with CM Punk at AEW All In on August 27. Both men were reportedly suspended, and AEW investigated the matter. On September 2, AEW announced that Punk had been terminated. However, it was unclear whether Perry was being sanctioned as well.
During the AEW All Out post-show media scrum, Nick Hausman of Haus of Wrestling asked Khan whether there had been any punishment for Perry. Khan then confirmed that Perry has been suspended indefinitely.
“He’s been suspended indefinitely,” Tony Khan said. “I think we’ve suspended everybody in that investigation, and then took further action after that, based on what happened and came out of the investigation. As for Jack, we suspended Jack as a participant in an incident backstage, and Jack hasn’t been around. That’s all I can say about it. At the time, we did suspend him, and he hasn’t been at AEW since AEW All in backstage in London.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
