In a night where chaos reigned supreme at AEW Double or Nothing, “The Scapegoat” Jack Perry emerged from the wreckage to pin Bryan Danielson, securing victory for The Elite in an unforgettable Anarchy in the Arena match. The Elite, consisting of The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Perry, clashed with Bryan Danielson, FTR, and Darby Allin in a bout that redefined mayhem and left Las Vegas stunned.
From the onset, it was clear that this match would live up to its name. Jack Perry, who was making his first AEW appearance since his suspension following a notorious backstage altercation with CM Punk, faced a baptism by fire—quite literally. After crashing a bus into Darby Allin and surviving being set ablaze, Perry defied all odds to land the decisive pin on Bryan Danielson.
The match saw outrageous and brutal action, including Dax Harwood double-fisting bourbon as if it were a hydration strategy, Kazuchika Okada delivering a thumbtack-laced Rainmaker to Cash Wheeler, and even an attack on AEW President Tony Khan. Khan, dragged into the brawl by Perry, was unceremoniously thrown down the ramp before making a hasty retreat.
Darby Allin, ever the daredevil, found himself strung up by his ankles, dangling helplessly from the ceiling as the climactic moments unfolded. Bloodied and unable to intervene, Allin’s plight underscored the sheer bedlam of the match.
Jack Perry’s return to AEW has been nothing short of dramatic. Following his altercation with CM Punk at AEW All In in 2023, which led to Punk’s firing and Perry’s suspension, Perry made waves in NJPW, publicly tearing up his AEW contract. His return was solidified at AEW Dynasty, reinstated by The Young Bucks, setting the stage for his pivotal role in this wild showdown.
