Jon Moxley Not The Only AEW Star Heading To NJPW In Chicago
Jack Perry tore up his AEW contract when he made his shocking NJPW debut. Now the man formerly known as Jungle Boy will make his in-ring NJPW debut at Windy City Riot. Given his involvement in the incident that saw CM Punk fired by AEW, Perry is sure to get an interesting reception from the Chicago crowd.
Eddie Kingston is also set to head up a team in a No DQ Riot Rules match that will see him face a team led by Gabe Kidd.
