AEW is renowned for its intense and violent matches, including the Blood & Guts bout on Dynamite this week. During the match, Jack Perry took an unprotected chair shot. The status of Perry’s health following this incident has now been revealed.

On the July 24th edition of Dynamite, AEW hosted its fourth Blood & Guts match at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The bout saw Team AEW, consisting of Swerve Strickland, Mark Briscoe, Darby Allin, and The Acclaimed, going up against The Elite, which included The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, and Hangman Page.

The match was a brutal spectacle, marked by intense violence and numerous dangerous moments. Max Caster had thumbtacks stuffed into his mouth before being superkicked by The Young Bucks. In a particularly harsh moment, Jack Perry, who was handcuffed to the cage, received an unprotected chair shot to the head from Mark Briscoe using Perry’s own ‘scapegoat’ chair.

According to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, multiple sources in AEW confirmed that the chair used in the spot was gimmicked. Nicholas Jackson commented on the situation with Sports Illustrated and stated that Jack Perry is totally fine after the spot.

“All I know is Jack is fine, and that’s all that matters. We know the risk we’re taking in the ring and it wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t prepared for it.”

We have also reported that the chair shot was with gimmick chair, but AEW President Tony Khan defended the spot anyway. Regardless, AEW might just avoid such spots in the future and that is for the best.
