Jack Perry was absent from AEW programming for several months before he made a shocking appearance at the recently concluded All Out pay-per-view. The former TNT champion also turned face by attacking his former Elite stablemates, The Young Bucks, and reuniting with his old friend Luchasaurus to reform the Jurassic Express, seemingly. What made fans even more ecstatic was that after the embrace, Perry's Jungle Boy theme song (Tarzan Boy) played throughout the Scotiabank Arena, with everyone in attendance singing along. For those unaware, Perry abandoned the Jungle Boy persona in 2023 and adopted a more conniving gimmick, known as the "Scapegoat." However, Perry's return at All Out indicated that he's reverting to his old gimmick, and in a recent interview, he discussed that change.

Speaking to VICE, Perry stated that he was initially uncertain about the presentation change but felt more assured when he heard the people sing the "Tarzan Boy" theme song.

"I think the song is here to stay. It’s funny ’cause I was thinking about that. I was like, ‘I don’t know, we have a different look.’ The thing that solidified it for me was that people were singing it before we even played it. I’ve been off about a year, I was the Scapegoat before this, I’m wearing all black with a knife on my belt. He’s in all black and people are singing that song," said Perry [H/T WrestlePurists on X ]
