The life of an AEW Executive Vice President has its perks, and for The Young Bucks, that recently included a $500,000 prize featured on their YouTube series. But their ongoing conflict with the suspended Jack Perry took a darker and more personal turn on the latest episode of Being The Elite.
In the episode released today, Matt Jackson received a package containing a hand-crafted knife, accompanied by a note that read: “For the next time you want to stab me in the back.”
The threat hits harder given that Perry has been showcasing knives he’s been making during his suspension on his personal Instagram. This isn’t just a storyline prop—it directly ties into his real-life activities, further blurring the line between fiction and reality.
This development marks the strongest indication yet of Perry’s eventual return to AEW programming. The former TNT Champion, whose nearly five-month reign ended at Full Gear last November, has been off television ever since. Despite the on-screen suspension, reports suggest Perry is not injured and has even been spotted backstage at recent tapings in good spirits.
While The Young Bucks had tried to brush him off—even ignoring a phone call from him on a recent BTE episode—this disturbing delivery makes avoiding him impossible. The stage is set, and Perry’s return now feels less a question of if than of when—and how far he’ll go for payback.
