Overview

• At All Out in Toronto on September 20, Perry returned to AEW, reunited with Luchasaurus, and the crowd sang along as “Tarzan Boy” played, which he now says is staying.
• Perry describes the new run as intentionally darker and more ambiguous, using the upbeat entrance music to create a deliberate contrast in tone.
• He says the reunion had been discussed since late 2023 or 2024 but was repeatedly sidelined by creative shifts and scheduling issues.
• Perry claims some people were “hell bent” on stopping the pairing and says Luchasaurus’ documented bout with pneumonia became a serious scare that reinforced their plans.
• After roughly a year off TV working as the Scapegoat, Perry promoted the team’s Dynamite sixth‑anniversary appearance and noted that early return vignettes he envisioned with Saw-style elements were ultimately changed.
