AEW Dynamite recap, reactions (Aug. 12, 2026): Man chokes Boy

Jack Perry is a divisive figure among fans in professional wrestling. Personally, I enjoy what he brings to the ring. He’s grown from Jungle Boy to Jungle Man over the years in AEW. After the beating Jon Moxley put on Perry during the main event of Dynamite (Aug. 12, 2026), I have to demote him back down to Boy status. The show also featured Will Ospreay ambushed by hooligans, MJF one step closer to the world title, Chris Jericho hit by a screwdriver, the return of Swerve Strickland, and more from Pearl Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada. Man chokes Boy Jon Moxley battered Jack Perry in the Continental Challenge Cup opening round for the main event of the evening. Moxley destroyed Perry to beat him bloody. It started by blocking Perry’s suicide dive with Moxley’s elbow. .@JONMOXLEY JUST KNOCKED @BOY_MYTH_LEGEND'S BLOCK OFF!
