Jack Perry called out Samoa Joe backstage on Collision following a win with the Young Bucks over Brian Cage, El Clone and Kevin Knight. Perry claims he wants a rematch with Joe, who defeated him in a Clockwork Carnage match at WrestleDream.

Why it matters

Perry has been calling out former AEW World Champions as he works toward a shot at the AEW World Championship. Joe has not appeared on TV since WrestleDream, leaving open whether he will answer the challenge.

Perry's Collision win came in a tag match alongside the Young Bucks, and his challenge targets a rematch with the man who beat him at WrestleDream. Joe's absence from television since that event leaves his response unconfirmed.

Season Trajectory

Perry's string of challenges to former AEW World Champions, including Swerve Strickland and Jon Moxley, is a deliberate route toward the championship. Joe's rematch request would add to that pattern if accepted.

The rematch, if booked, would determine how Perry's title pursuit moves forward on upcoming AEW programming. Viewers following the Young Bucks and Perry's tag run will see whether Joe returns to television to respond.

The takeaway

Perry's challenges show that a title push in AEW can run through former champions, and Joe's response will show whether the rematch is booked. Fans should watch Collision and Dynamite for any answer.
