Jack Perry’s Upcoming Opponent Mocks Him With CM Punk Catchphrase

Jack Perry’s debut in the New Japan Cup Tournament made waves as he secured a victory against Shota Umino, with an unexpected twist. Assisted by Ren Narita, Perry then shocked fans by aligning himself with The House of Torture faction.

This surprising turn of events came after a heated feud between Perry and Umino, which began at NJPW Battle in the Valley when Perry targeted Umino with an attack. The rivalry intensified as they faced off multiple times during the New Japan Cup, culminating in a climactic showdown on the tour’s final night. In a match featuring The House of Torture against El Desperado, Yuji Nagata, and Shota Umino, Perry, alongside Yujiro Takahashi and Ren Narita, emerged victorious.

In response to this unexpected alliance, Shota Umino directed a pointed message towards Perry in his post-match comments. Taking to Twitter, Umino directly called out Perry, invoking a famous catchphrase of CM Punk, stating that it was “clobberin’ time.” Umino made it clear that he was eager to settle the score with Perry and proposed a showdown in Ryogoku.

“I feel like I’ve been itching to fight the mansion while watching the world. If he intervenes, other units will step in and help out the players who are fighting, but we always stick to ourselves, so have confidence. That’s it. Also, Jack Berry. It’s clobberin’ time. It’s time for punishment, including the mansion. Now, spring in Ryogoku. Would you like me to repay you everything, including the debts you’ve owed so far?”

Interestingly, CM Punk had a notable altercation with Jack Perry at AEW All In last year, leading to Punk’s contract termination from AEW. As Umino taunts Perry with a reference to Punk’s catchphrase, the anticipation for their potential matchup grows.

As the wrestling world eagerly awaits the outcome of this rivalry, it remains to be seen whether Shota Umino will emerge victorious against Jack Perry in the end.
