Ricochet made history at Full Gear 2025 by becoming the first-ever AEW National Champion after winning the Casino Gauntlet match. Since then, he has successfully defended his title against challengers like Ace Austin, Dalton Castle, and Nino Bryant. However, his title reign could be in serious jeopardy.
Jack Perry, also known as Jungle Boy, has been on a winning streak against Ricochet in recent weeks. At Worlds End 2025, Jurassic Express and JetSpeed faced off against The Demand and Josh Alexander. Perry secured the victory for his team by pinning Ricochet, earning himself a shot at the AEW National Championship. Although Ricochet managed to retain his title in their first encounter, Perry once again pinned him in a tag team match on Dynamite, putting himself back in contention for the title.
Given Perry’s recent success against Ricochet, it would be a huge mistake for Tony Khan not to book him to win the title in their next matchup. With two victories over the current champion, Perry seems to have his number and is poised to become the new AEW National Champion.
In a recent interview on Close Up with Renee Paquette, Jack Perry reflected on his past altercation with CM Punk at AEW All In 2023. Despite the controversy surrounding the incident, Perry expressed that he wouldn’t change anything about it, emphasizing the personal growth he experienced as a result.
As the momentum continues to shift in Jack Perry’s favor, all eyes are on whether he will dethrone Ricochet and capture the AEW National Championship. Fans are eagerly anticipating their next showdown to see if Perry can complete his ascent to the top of the AEW ranks.
In conclusion, Jack Perry’s recent victories over Ricochet have positioned him as a formidable challenger for the AEW National Championship. With the momentum on his side and the support of the fans, Perry is primed to potentially dethrone Ricochet and claim the title for himself. As the rivalry between these two talented competitors intensifies, the stage is set for an epic showdown that could change the landscape of AEW’s mid-card division.
