Jack Perry wants to lock down his old moniker.
Perry applied to trademark “Jungle Boy” on December 5. He applied for the nickname as “Boy Myth Legend, Inc.”
Perry began his pro wrestling career as Jungle Boy, and brought the name with him to AEW. Early on, Jim Ross began calling him ‘Jungle Jack Perry’. This year, Perry began using his real name on AEW TV after turning on HOOK.
Perry is currently on hiatus from AEW TV, as he was serving a suspension for his role in a backstage fight with CM Punk at AEW All In.
“He’s been suspended indefinitely,” Tony Khan said during the AEW All Out post-show media scrum. “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.”
CM Punk has since been fired and re-joined WWE. AEW has not commented publicly on Perry’s status or when the suspension will end.
