Jack Perry could join WWE in future after picture with Drew McIntyre goes viral, believes legend, despite issues with CM Punk

AEW star Jack Perry could end up in WWE after his recent photograph with Drew McIntyre went viral according to a wrestling legend. The legend in question is none other than Dutch Mantell.

Jack Perry became a popular figure after getting into a backstage fight with CM Punk at All In last year which led to his suspension from the company. Perry reinvented himself in NJPW as The Scapegoat and made his return to AEW at the Dynasty Pay-Per-View.

Meanwhile, CM Punk has since returned to the WWE and has been in a heated rivalry with Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior has not hesitated in bringing up Punk's past and recently posted a photograph with Jack Perry on social media which he later deleted.

During a recent episode of his Storytime with Dutch Mantell podcast, the former WWE manager claimed that Jack Perry's photograph with Drew McIntyre did more for him than any of his ROH and AEW stuff. Mantell also raised the question about Perry potentially joining WWE in the future.

"You could look ahead and say this does him [Jack Perry] more good than all of Ring of Honor and the AEW stuff that he's done before. I think that does him more good, that picture right there, and now you can say, 'Well, how long will it be before Jack Perry is in WWE?'" [From 01:05:10 to 01:05:36]

WWE veteran Jim Cornette has an interesting reaction to Drew McIntyre and Jack Perry's photograph

The wrestling world was shocked to see the photo of Drew McIntyre and Jack Perry on social media. The post was met with some hilarious reactions, including one from wrestling veteran Jim Cornette.

On his Drive-Thru podcast, Jim Cornette called Jack Perry a Make-A-Wish kid and stated how massive Drew McIntyre looked as compared to The Scapegoat.

"And I love the titles and the memes they made out of it, because look at Drew McIntyre going out of his way to please this Make-A-Wish kid, because he's like a foot and a half taller and a hundred pounds heavier, so it looks like some guy taking his kid to f***ing grade school."

Drew McIntyre is set to face CM Punk at Summer Slam this Saturday. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top at the premium live event.
