Jungle Jack Perry def. Nick Wayne
We were back in Boston for the second time this week after a tremendous Dynamite on Wednesday night! Tony Schiavone was joined at the commentary booth tonight by the legendary Paul Wight. Before we get any further, it was time for our opening contest.
Perry had the crowd fired up after issuing a challenge on Dynamite to anyone looking to break out, and it was Nick Wayne who answered the call. Of course, Perry is starting the second chapter of his AEW career after recently announcing his re-signing. Wayne had a very successful run in the New Japan Pro Wrestling Best of the Super Juniors Tournament in May and June, but now Wayne is here in an AEW ring trying to get to the heights that Perry has already reached in his first chapter.
Perry worked Wayne into the corner and then tousled his hair, which Wayne tried to laugh off. Perry was able to control Wayne on the mat for a short period of time. Wayne got back to his feet and nearly connected on a KillSwitch to Perry, perhaps a nod to the man who was closely associated with both Wayne and Perry at different times in the past, one half of the current AEW World Tag Team Champions, Christian Cage.
Perry knocked Wayne to the mat with a shoulder block and then dropkicked him out of the ring. He followed with a dropkick through the ropes to take Wayne down, and Perry went to the floor to throw Wayne into the barricade. He followed with a chop and hopped up on the barricade to mockingly dust off his hands. He got Wayne with another chop against the barricade and broke the count. Perry hit another chop and then jogged up and down the steps as if to say he's got plenty left in the tank.
Wayne raked at the eyes of Perry and then dropped off the stairs, slamming Perry's face first into the steel in a very unique variation of a DDT. After Wayne continued the dominance on the outside, back in the ring, Perry finally fought back and captured Wayne in the corner, where he put repeated boots to the side of Wayne's face, knocking him off the turnbuckle. The assault was absolutely vicious by Perry!
Perry put Wayne in the middle of the second rope and then hit a leg drop off the second rope for a near fall. Wayne rolled to the apron, so Perry followed him and grabbed him for an apron bomb, but Wayne blocked it and hit an enzuigiri. He tried to jump up to the second rope, but was caught by Perry with a chop to the back, and then Perry pulled Wayne off the second rope for a powerbomb on the apron! Perry soaked in the adulation and threw Wayne back into the ring.
Perry had a sit-out powerbomb, but Wayne kicked out at two. Perry mockingly kicked Wayne. The crowd chanted, “This is awesome!” Wayne pie-faced Perry, so Perry slapped him. Perry hit some open-hand chops, and Wayne spit at Perry. Perry turned things around on Wayne in the corner and started unloading with some uppercuts. As both men traded strikes, Wayne hit a Snap Dragon, but when Perry popped up, Wayne missed a roundhouse kick. That allowed Perry to hit a poisonrana, spiking Wayne into the mat! He quickly grabbed him for a suplex, but Wayne floated over and looked for another KillSwitch. Perry escaped and hit a huge clothesline to put Wayne down on the mat, and Perry stayed down as well. Both men were gasping for air.
Perry got to his feet first, but Wayne rolled him up for a near-fall. Perry pushed Wayne off the ropes and got him for a near-fall before kicking him out onto the apron. Wayne hit a boot through the ropes to send Perry to the outside, and then drove through the ropes for a Canadian Destroyer on the floor!
Perry just beat the ten count, but as he dove in, Wayne was ready with a frog splash to his back followed by a fisherman's buster, but Perry kicked out at two! Wayne's shocked look told the story. Wayne looked for Wayne's World, but Perry was ready for it and threw him with a release German suplex. Perry followed with a short-range thrust kick and his running knee to put Wayne down for the three count. Perry was victorious in his first match after signing his new AEW contract, but what a great effort from the former Ring of Honor World Television Champion, Nick Wayne.
