Jungle Boy Jack Perry And Hook Reunite On AEW Dynamite
JungleHOOK is back together.
During Wednesday's episode of "AEW Dynamite," La Faccion Ingobernable's Jose The Assistant, Dralistico, and Preston Vance interrupted HOOK to express their frustration at their lack of opportunities when the FTW Champion was speaking to Tony Schiavone. The latter two blindsided HOOK in an effort to take their chance before "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry's music hit, who ran down to the ring with a chair in hand to make the save.
Perry and HOOK initially joined forces during last year's "Winter Is Coming" special and last teamed together in the squared circle on the January 25 episode of "Dynamite," where they defeated Ethan Page and Matt Hardy. During their brief run as a tag team, JungleHOOK remained undefeated before HOOK moved on to a rivalry with Stokely Hathaway and The Firm, while Perry feuded against a returning Christian Cage.
While Perry is fresh off his first-ever AEW World Championship match on pay-per-view, HOOK has, to the surprise of many, not wrestled on television since his victory over Page on the April 7 episode of "Rampage." In recent months, HOOK has defended his FTW Championship in a series of matches against Page, but all of them took place on AEW's non-televised house shows, also known as "AEW House Rules."
The pairing of Perry and HOOK could bolster AEW's tag team division, which currently features teams such as the champions FTR, Best Friends, Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal, The Acclaimed, Lucha Brothers, The Hardys, The Gunns, and The Young Bucks.
