Tony Khan has seen several additions and deletions from the AEW roster since 2022, and one of them, the most controversial one, saw him losing not one but two wrestlers. While that seemed to be the case then, it's now been said that one of them might be coming back after apologizing.

Jack Perry landed himself in hot water after his "cry me a river" comment during the pre-show at All In. The star seemingly later got into a confrontation with CM Punk, resulting in a jostle. This led to Punk getting released from the company and Perry reportedly getting suspended.

According to reports from the Wrestling Observer (via WrestlePurists), the erstwhile Jungle Boy has been contacting Tony Khan and apologizing for whatever happened.

"According to those spoken to, Jack Perry was sent home after AEW All In at Wembley and never heard back from Tony Khan. He apologized, kept texting him about he never meant to cause any trouble and was sorry. He did hear from the company through lawyers. Then they talked and he apologized to Khan. What they are doing now in Japan is storyline to lead to an eventual return." [h/t WrestlePurists X]

The Jack Perry-CM Punk controversy was one of the biggest stories in wrestling last year, and it seems the story hasn't ended yet, even though CM Punk has returned to WWE.

Jack Perry and AEW's Jon Moxley will clash outside Tony Khan's promotion

While Perry is seemingly suspended from AEW, he has been performing in NJPW. It has now been revealed that he will clash with Jon Moxley at Sakura Genesis. The tag team match will have the former Lunatic Fringe team up with Shota Unimo and Jack Perry tags up with Ren Narita.

"Just announced for Sakura Genesis on April 6... Jon Moxley returns to New Japan to tag with Shota Umino to take on Ren Narita & Jack Perry! AEW and NJPW on both sides!!!" the post read [h/t Drainmaker X]

Jack Perry is back in action, and it remains to be seen whether he will be back soon in AEW.
