Details On Whether WWE Had Interest In Jack Perry Before AEW Re-Signing

Jack Perry is staying with AEW for the foreseeable future, and a new report has some context on whether WWE had any interest in bringing Perry in had he not re-signed. As noted, Perry announced on last night’s AEW Dynamite that he had signed a new deal with AEW following reports over the last month that his contract was coming up.

According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, there were “little to no discussions” in WWE about trying to sign Perry should he have become a free agent. According to sources in WWE, there was not a big desire to bring the former AEW National Champion in, with the predominent sentiment being that he didn’t fit in WWE’s current roster landscape, and was never viewed as a “realistic target.”

Perry, of course, had an altercation with CM Punk back at All In 2023 thst led to Punk’s termination from AEW. The report, to be clear, does not address one way or another whether that altercation issues between Perry and Punk had anything to do with why Perry was not garnering interest from WWE.

Details on Perry’s contract length have not yet been revealed. He is a former AEW National Champion, TNT Champion, and World Tag Team Champion.
