During a recent visit to the “Gorilla Position” podcast, professional wrestler Drew McIntyre recalled an encounter involving himself and AEW TNT Champion Jack Perry. This encounter, highlighted in an image McIntyre uploaded on social media last month, piqued the interest of wrestling fans.
In his own words, McIntyre detailed the event, “On the same flight. I was located directly in front of him. We had a conversation. He’s a great guy. His girlfriend is also really personable, and they were on their way to LA. Suggested we should take a snapshot together. Considering we’re both in the same profession. I decided to share it online. Give him a bit of the spot light.’ The reaction from people online was phenomenal. That internet.”
As some wrestling aficionados might recall, CM Punk and Perry found themselves embroiled in a heated backstage altercation at 2023’s AEW All In London event at Wembley Stadium. This resulted in the severe measure of AEW terminating Punk’s contract.
