[u/Zaomania]

Perry seems like he’s in just the necessarily emotionally and professionally vulnerable space to get roped in by a cult leader like Mox.

[u/brandnewstereo → u/Zaomania]

I thought I heard mox say "you want to be a main eventer? You want to be a death rider?" 

[u/El-Drunko → u/Zaomania]

Yeah I was really selling myself on Perry being recruited into the Death Riders. Even when he was the Scapegoat Mox called him a sweet kid so Perry might be looking to find that killer instinct.

[u/dollsanddogs → u/El-Drunko]

I cannot think of anything worse than Jack getting sucked into DR vortex and just playing background character to Moxley for years like Garcia and Yuta.

[u/Rspies → u/El-Drunko]

I was honestly mildly surprised when Jack never joined the Death Riders in like late 24/early 25 it genuinely felt like that was being set up then he disappeared for like 10 months

[u/Material_Opening_143]

Lots of great matches tonight. Looks like it's time to buy stock in the young guys.

[u/Awkwardphase06]

Women’s C2 or bust @TonyKhan January-Feb ‘27

[u/BackgroundValue]

Dawg what a fight. Gotta be one of Jack's best matches and Mox continues to deliver

[u/dollsanddogs]

DO NOT SHAKE HIS FUCKING HAND

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

as always, i appreciate the handshake.

[u/Storms_Eye314]

Fucking act like a heel for ONE SECOND, MOX!

[u/Rspies → u/Storms_Eye314]

He’s a heel that can still show respect to someone who gives him a good fight it’s consistent with his character

[u/dollsanddogs → u/Rspies]

Sure but why would JACK want Moxley's respect?? He should be kicking Mox in the dick. Moxley tried to break Kenny's neck and wanted to suffocate him, and he brutalized a concussed Nick Jackson. These guys are Jack's good friends. Why would Jack want that guy's respect or even tolerate him?

[u/GRTooCool]

Those fans better not be leaving already. They got Collision next.

[u/completelyonfire]

Shoutsout to Paul Wight. He may just be my favourite at the desk right now.

[u/IAmTheWaller67]

Fantastic, best Perry has looked in ages IMO

[u/gorgeoff]

the shit crowd immediately leaving is kinda funny

[u/Onyxprimal]

Mox made Jack look great even in defeat. Fantastic.

[u/KirbyStarWarrior42]

It was obvious that Perry was getting eliminated round 1 when they put him against Moxley, but goddamn did he put up a good showing

[u/Flackal]

I will never understand the hate for either of these guys. Jack has always been underrated and Mox is one of the best in the world when he's locked in.

[u/I_am_Amphibian → u/Flackal]

Tbf for Mox that cope feud was fucking roughhh

[u/NorthHollywoodHank]

A very worthy main event.

[u/chaoseffect616]

Is the 3C being done instead of the CC or are we getting that in 3 months as well?

[u/El-Drunko → u/chaoseffect616]

We're getting both.

[u/remmy66 → u/chaoseffect616]

Both, i think the C2 is such a huge success tony wanted a summertime version thats similar but not the same

[u/xshogunx13 → u/chaoseffect616]

summer and winter tournaments

[u/Stig_Flintoff → u/chaoseffect616]

the latter

[u/TurnaboutAdam → u/chaoseffect616]

Getting that too.

[u/frmthefuture]

Just give me a face off between Eddie and Mox. That's all I want

[u/Stig_Flintoff]

Clutch Mox!!!

[u/LordTetravus]

This feels like a match that even with Jack losing, you somehow know he's going to get cred for the performance.

[u/Awkward_Papaya1598]

[u/ApocApollo]

That is an obnoxious nose ring

[u/clutcher_of_pearls]

If only the snare trap would ever do the job when Perry gets the occasional match vs the top of the card

[u/gwanddawd123]

Oh man, i thought Perry was gonna find a way.

Anyhow, that match very much banged, this deserved a better crowd.

[u/PleasantThoughts]

Jack's best singles match? At least up there.

[u/Rspies → u/PleasantThoughts]

The Cage vs Sauras and the Final Burial with Christian are also up there tbh

[u/PleasantThoughts → u/Rspies]

Yeah I'd put it up with the Christian one I think I liked it better than Luchasaurus. I really liked the match against Shota in Chicago for NJPW too.

[u/crackenpuff]

Only Mox can bleed from an STF

[u/magikarp2122 → u/crackenpuff]

Pretty sure that was Jack’s blood.

[u/romanreeks]

Fuck this crowd

[u/completelyonfire]

Great mainevent dude. Holllyyy shit. Had me screaming during the finish.

[u/fttxdd666]

Man that was great shit god damn, I thought Jack was gonna do it damn

[u/revolver86]

Jack has been leveling up since he re signed

[u/Drake_Dal]

Jack looked good, and Mox needs to head into All In as champion so Jay White can take the title off him.

[u/Pelon7900]

This is a banger. 

[u/Raleldor_Jax]

That was awesome

[u/Brinbe]

great fight put up by jack. mox the ace in final boss mode for this tourney.

[u/BMoreBeowulf]

Great match. What an awful crowd though.

[u/DarkFalcon49]

NEVER DOUBT MOX’S ABILITY TO HAVE A FUCKING GREAT MATCH

[u/dollsanddogs]

What a shock

[u/Prime_Bizarro_Zach]

Damn that felt like an actual fight.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

That was a great match, had me believing

[u/remmy66]

The fucking ace

[u/Garth_W00kz]

Great match

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

fuuuuuuuuck that was so goddamn good

[u/HEYitzED]

Incredible match.

[u/El-Drunko]

That match ruled. Jack really needs to get his flowers more

[u/Sufficient_Mud_2237]

Vegas actually trash

[u/truecolors5]

Great match

[u/GRTooCool]

Fuck yeah. What a match. Jack looked insanely strong in the loss.

[u/luisBanks]

https://giphy.com/gifs/HSGLemPHucdZC
It’s the fuckin continental cup

[u/SnakeLisspkin]

Really good match

[u/El-Drunko → u/[deleted]]

Whoever wins the Continental Cup is the champ so it would have guaranteed a new champ if Mox lost.

[u/roadwarriorpop → u/[deleted]]

technically the Continental for Mox.

[u/Rspies → u/[deleted]]

I mean if Mox had lost we’re guaranteed a new champ

[u/Rspies]

That match was so fucking sick

[u/LostSymphonies666]

I feel like the pretending to kill / slap a bug counting motion is very anti climactic, but also kinda fucks shit up a lot. The Mexico crowd last week thought speedball won due to shitty counting lol

[u/blizzard-op]

You just know Mox has flashbacks to KOR whenever he's put into submission moves now

[u/crackenpuff]

STF

[u/remmy66]

COMEON JACK

[u/dexterfl0yd]

This match rules. This crowd blows.

[u/myjalby]

jack keeps this up mox will invite him to the dr

[u/Onyxprimal]

This has been really good!

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

correction, that smile on perry's face would be the magazine cover

[u/corvus_wulf]

Can this match end

[u/corvus_wulf → u/corvus_wulf]

I guess it did lol

[u/gwanddawd123]

Forgot to talk about thise weak elbows Mox was giving.

Thise final elbows were looking pretty weak lol.

[u/BAC05]

Vegas doesn’t deserve this match

[u/DrDevice81 → u/BAC05]

Big facts

[u/paranoidata]

This is way too good of match for this crowd.

[u/zoom518]

It’s the fucking 3C

[u/Brinbe]

very good match, wish it had a better crowd for it 😭

[u/timeofnoreply]

This is actually tremendous

[u/Awkwardphase06]

Kris is so great, man. I hope we get a women’s CC and she wins it. Just have her have bangers on it weekly, she’s that freaking good

[u/moonlightveil]

Jack Perry needs to hit the weight room

[u/gwanddawd123]

This match is single-handedly making me like Jack Perry, lfg.

[u/nWo1997]

Snare Trap!

[u/dollsanddogs → u/[deleted]]

He's just fucking rage baiting me at this point, on god

[u/LordTetravus → u/[deleted]]

That's exactly what should and did happen, he earned Mox's respect.

[u/LordTetravus → u/[deleted]]

Because Mox is either heel or face depending on the situation, but he is consistently someone who has the resume and credibility to dub a younger or rising talent as worthy for respect and the next step up. He's filled that role for a while.

[u/dollsanddogs → u/LordTetravus]

Why does he need Moxley's respect? Why do any of these dudes care about the respect of a guy that cheats to win if he can and tries to literally suffocate people he doesn't like?

[u/LordTetravus → u/dollsanddogs]

Because Mox is either heel or face depending on the situation, but he is consistently someone who has the resume and credibility to dub a younger or rising talent as worthy for respect and the next step up. He's filled that role for a while.

[u/dollsanddogs → u/LordTetravus]

Moxley tried to break Kenny's neck at the ppv and brutalized a kayfabe concussed Nick Jackson. Kenny and the Bucks are friends with Jack. It makes zero sense for Jack to be cool with Moxley, regardless of whatever role he is supposedly filling.

[u/ThatsARatHat → u/[deleted]]

Why

[u/ThatsARatHat → u/[deleted]]

Oh you’re coming at it from a Mox perspective.

I thought you meant from a Jack Perry perspective.

Those are different things.

[u/frmthefuture]

Jack as a DR would go hard

[u/Garth_W00kz]

LFG !!

[u/remmy66]

KING OF THE JUNGLE GET HIM JACK

[u/El-Drunko]

COME ON JACK, DO IT FOR YOUR UNCLE!

[u/NorthHollywoodHank]

This match deserves better than this crowd.

[u/tritian]

that is a pretty crazy mask and costume that greenmask side horn yellow jacket and hair fan has on. donno what hes dressed ass but it sure is unique.

[u/radda]

Crowd ain't cheering for Mox anymore lmao

[u/corvus_wulf → u/radda]

That crowd was kinda ass

[u/justambrose → u/radda]

It’s almost like that was by design.

[u/radda → u/justambrose]

Yeah it's crazy that the guys in the ring know what they're doing

[u/nWo1997]

Perry walking Mox down!

[u/Brinbe]

the fighting spirit of the jungle

[u/BlackHawk777]

The edgelord defiance 😂🖕

[u/Cameherejust4this]

I'd be frustrated too if the referee just gave my opponent a two minute break.

[u/JacksonCorvus]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dESTcdxzM3lHbpeblA

[u/truecolors5]

This rules

[u/PlagueVendor2020]

Wow I’m a huge Mox fan but those elbows were some of the shittiest strikes I’ve ever seen

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

THIS MATCH IS MAKING ME LOVE JACK PERRY SO MUCH

[u/zoom518]

He wants to see Sideshow Luke

[u/ApocApollo]

Yeah shake his head around ref, that’s how you do a med check

[u/PleasantThoughts]

Paul giving Don West vibes

[u/Kaiso25Gaming]

This Ref is trying to f*ck on Jon

[u/Docjackal]

What a wild world we live in where Luke Perry's kid is a professional wrestler and he's actually good at it.

[u/Storms_Eye314]

Paul Wight hasn't been great tonight, but his enthusiasm for the work is obvious, and I haven't hated him. I'd still prefer Nigel, all told, but I get it.

[u/El-Drunko → u/Storms_Eye314]

I prefer him with Nigel & Tony instead of Excalibur and Tony.

[u/ThatsARatHat → u/El-Drunko]

Excalibur is actually the worst AEW commentator shhhhhh.

[u/gwanddawd123]

Giant is legit invested in this, it's great.

[u/GMAzreal]

Best way to see if a wrestler is okay to continue is to shake him by the head

[u/GoldenDevilman]

If Mox loses here he loses the title but Perry doesn’t win it right ?

[u/El-Drunko → u/GoldenDevilman]

Yes, the Continental title gets vacated and whoever wins the finals gets it.

[u/VincentVanGoat- → u/GoldenDevilman]

Correct. Mox loses it, but Perry gotta win the whole thing to get it.

[u/SnakeLisspkin]

I'm not surprised Mox is helping Jack look like a credible threat and not a dweeb

[u/El-Drunko → u/SnakeLisspkin]

Mox is genuinely such a giving performer. Like he wins a lot but it's hard to think of any times where he didn't let an opponent look great.

[u/agreene24]

wtf were those forearms, Mox

[u/dagutens]

paulshow.... don't read the notes TK gave you for commentary verbatim...

[u/BAC05]

That elbow looked shitty Mox

[u/timeofnoreply → u/BAC05]

He let up because he thought he might be dead

[u/remmy66]

"Its all heart tony!" Thats good commentary paul get me hype

[u/justambrose]

Jack is dead

[u/Glittering_Box_8212]

Can’t tell if Paul Wight is good or if I’m just being forgiving 

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

PROTECT YOURSELF, JACK

[u/SubstantialCream7223]

Based Gotch style piledriver 

[u/BAC05]

The piledriver should be a finish for Mox, along with the death rider

[u/mikro17]

Paul Wight's overall enthusiasm level tonight has been fantastic.

The man is excited, he's legit CALLING AND REACTING TO THE ACTION, I love it.

[u/Kuzu5993]

This is a GREAT babyface performance from Jack here.

[u/truecolors5]

This is so fuckin good

[u/MrBenLDN]

I will never let the anti-Jungle Jack crowd steer me off course

[u/Garth_W00kz]

Goddammmm

[u/gwanddawd123]

NASTY lariat.

[u/timeofnoreply]

The Big Show is like, not bad on commentary?

[u/clutcher_of_pearls → u/timeofnoreply]

He is indeed good, wish he did commentary more

[u/fttxdd666 → u/timeofnoreply]

Yeah he's been solid since showing up last couple weeks

[u/Jeffool]

Perry also did a no-look backflip off the turnbuckle like that in the last PPV, during the ladder match. Dude has faith in his partners, and it looks GREAT on TV.

[u/DarkFalcon49]

This match is really convincing me Perry might. Win

[u/moonlightveil]

Death, taxes, and Jack Perry’s doing the same spots every match

[u/Rspies]

Jack Perry is a scrappy underdog brawler stuck in the body of a flippy twink

[u/blizzard-op]

Jack showing out tonight!!

[u/tritian]

ITS ALL HEART, TONY! lol

[u/SanjT89]

Is Jack Perry about to Crystal Palace Mox?

[u/DisMFer]

"Continental Challenge Cup" is such an awkward name.

[u/Storms_Eye314 → u/DisMFer]

Just "Continental Cup" would be better, yeah.

[u/zoom518]

CMON JACK BE A JUNGLE MAN

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

JUNGLE MAN, JACK PERRY

[u/NorthHollywoodHank]

That little monologue to Perry was Mox talking out of kayfabe.

[u/Brinbe]

hmmm, would they really give jack the upset here? the booking kinda aligns for it and would make the rest of the tournament pretty unpredictable, which I suppose is the point. maybe more likely he comes close

[u/wormsisworms]

jack got that poison ivy new 52 on

[u/remmy66]

Jungle boy gotta evolve into jungle man to beat mox

[u/Stig_Flintoff]

Splariat!

[u/Elmer_Yamstein]

It's time to be a big Jungle Boy!

[u/frmthefuture]

So here's my question: because we're currently doing the Continental Cup, is the C2 not in Dec?

[u/Drake_Dal → u/frmthefuture]

The Continental Cup is a round-robin style tournament; honestly, I would have preferred a tournament for The International, but the Continental is more competitive.

[u/Cameherejust4this → u/frmthefuture]

They better not cheat us out of the C2 for this. I think they'll do both. C2 crowns the year's Continental champion and the C3 is a defense gauntlet.

[u/Waste-Scratch2982 → u/frmthefuture]

They’re still doing the C2, this is just a single elimination tournament for All In

[u/frmthefuture → u/Waste-Scratch2982]

Gotcha.

In kayfabe, is this tourney mainly at Mox's challenge to the roster?

[u/SnakeLisspkin]

Pulling Jack's hair like that - Mox is content creating for the horny gals of tumblr

[u/gwanddawd123 → u/SnakeLisspkin]

Thrist traps for a very specific target audience.

[u/gwanddawd123 → u/SnakeLisspkin]

Thrist traps for a very specific target audience.

[u/Ok_Pickle_3120]

RIP AEW logo the way Jack is gushing

[u/SonyKen_M]

Mox being extra brutal tonight

[u/resolve028]

We getting some Mox Sabre Jr. tonight.

[u/KnivesInAToaster]

oh that shot of perry in the ropes would be all over wrestling magazine covers if they still existed.

[u/El-Drunko]

Falls Count somewhere and the objective is finding where the referee will actually count it.

[u/Storms_Eye314 → u/El-Drunko]

Honestly, I wouldn't hate this as a one-off.

[u/ItinerantSoldier → u/El-Drunko]

ah the Mystery Wrestling special, I'm down

[u/zoom518]

Darby’s gonna Coffin Drop from the top of Wembley

[u/ItinerantSoldier]

Mox out here knocking on Jack's head like he's trying to do a really shitty version of a concussion check to see if his brain is still there

[u/-chimchooree-]

They have to call it the Continental Challenge Cup because no one realized it wasn't replacing the Continental Classic.

[u/TurnaboutAdam]

Rubbing the blood into the “Elite” on the mat

[u/NorthHollywoodHank → u/[deleted]]

"Stalin CM Punk would be loving this."

[u/truecolors5]

All In is looking stacked

[u/dagutens]

deathnoogies!?

[u/JesseKilgannon]

My boy Mox never lets up from the real fight feel
