What’s next for AEW star and former TNT Champion Jack Perry? As previously reported, Perry’s AEW contract was due to expire soon. F4WOnline.com‘s Bryan Alvarez had an update on the matter.
According to Alvarez’s latest update, as of today (Jul. 7), Perry still hasn’t signed a new deal with AEW. Additionally, his current contract is said to be up “very shortly,” though the exact expiration date is unknown. Alvarez wrote, “As of today, Jack Perry still has not re-signed with AEW, and his contract is up very shortly.”
Perry and AEW were reportedly in negotiations for a new deal as of last month. During the AEW Forbidden Door 2026 media call, Tony Khan was asked about Perry, stating, “The plan for AEW and Jack is for Jack to be here for a long time. I have believed that Jack is a great wrestler for many years, and I continue to feel that way.”
The 29-year-old Perry has been a part of AEW since it began. Since that time, he’s amassed quite a collection of title reigns, including runs as AEW World Tag Team Champion with Luchasaurus, TNT Champion, and National Champion.
Perry last wrestled on the June 24 edition of AEW Dynamite, where he was defeated by Zack Sabre Jr.
