Jack Perry's long-term future with All Elite Wrestling has been thrown up in the air.

Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer has reported that Jack Perry's deal with AEW "is up" and he is currently in negotiations with the pro wrestling promotion over a new contract.

Jack Perry is an AEW original, having signed with the promotion in January 2019 as Jungle Boy. He was a part of Jurassic Express until 2022, when Christian Cage and Luchasaurus turned on Jungle Boy, and the 28-year-old underwent a heel turn of his own in 2023, being repackaged under his real name of Jack Perry.

Following a backstage altercation with CM Punk at All In 2023, Jack Perry was suspended by AEW and he remained off AEW TV until Dynasty 2024, when he resurfaced as a member of The Elite. Perry wrestled in NJPW during his time away from AEW, during which he introduced his scapegoat gimmick.

Perry disappeared from AEW TV again in November 2024 and returned at All Out 2025 as a babyface to reform Jurassic Express with Luchasaurus, becoming "Jungle" Jack Perry in the process. His most recent match took place on the May 27 edition of Dynamite when he lost to Mark Davis in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament.

Across his seven-year AEW stint, Jack Perry is a one-time AEW World Tag Team Champion, one-time TNT Champion, one-time AEW National Champion, and one-time FTW Champion.

Jack Perry's partner Anna Jay confirmed in May 2026 that her own AEW contract was due to expire in the near future.
