The first mention of Jack Perry and Anna Jay’s relationship came in the Four Pillars AEW World Championship storyline involving Perry, MJF, Darby Allin, and Sammy Guevera.

Anna’s boyfriend, Jack, 27, is also an American professional wrestler who started his career on the independent circuit in 2015, debuting at Underground Empire Wrestling’s 2015 West Coat Cruise Cup.
In January 2019, he signed with the upstart promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Jungle Boy.
He made his AEW debut at the company’s inaugural event, Double or Nothing, on May 25, competing in the pre-show Casino Battle Royale, but Jimmy Havoc eliminated him.
On July 19, 2023, at Dynamite: Blood & Guts, he defeated Hook for the FTW Championship, claiming both his first singles title and Hook’s undefeated streak, becoming the first man to defeat Hook since he began his career in 2021.
However, Jack was defeated by Hook after 39 days. During the match, Jack knocked on the windshield of a car and said,

A week later, AEW Owner Tony Khan terminated Punk’s contract and suspended Perry indefinitely. Footage of the altercation was shown on the April 10, 2024, episode of Dynamite.
On April 21, 2024, Jack Perry, with his new “Scapegoat” persona, returned to AEW at Dynasty and helped the Young Bucks defeat FTR to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Later, on April 24, he was revealed as a member of The Elite alongside the Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada.
