Jack Perry wins vacant TNT Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

Jack Perry is the new TNT Champion.

Perry grabbed the title in a ladder match that took place at Sunday’s Forbidden Door. In a match full of wild bumps and crazy ladder spots, Perry got the win after striking Mark Briscoe with a ladder, stepping over him in order to climb up the ladder and grab the title, winning the championship for the first time.

The title had been declared vacant after Adam Copeland broke his leg after jumping off the steel cage at Double or Nothing. Soon after, The Elite stripped Copeland of the title and was set to declare Perry the champion when Christopher Daniels came out on behalf of Tony Khan. Daniels instead announced that qualifying matches would take place across AEW programming to determine the six people to enter the match. Perry defeated Dustin Rhodes to qualify.

Since returning to AEW at April’s Dynasty pay-per-view, Perry has aligned himself with The Elite and took part in laying out Tony Khan. Despite being lit on fire, he pinned Bryan Danielson in the Anarchy in the Arena match that took place at Double or Nothing.
