Shota Umino sends a message to Jack Perry.
Following Umino's Trios match victory at Battle In The Valley, he would be viciously ambushed by AEW's Jack Perry. This would be Perry's first pro wrestling appearance since his suspension for his involvement in the 2023 AEW All In brawl. Perry would take out Shota, before ripping up his AEW contract.
After the attack, Umino was approached backstage and was asked about it. Shota kept it short and sweet, making sure Perry knew he would defeat him regardless of what ring they face off in.
"Boy, you got this all wrong, a stupid punk kid. You think tearing up your contract and slide right into Japan? Jungle Boy, anytime, anywhere. I don't care if it's in AEW or a ring in Japan. Anytime, anywhere I beat you, bitch."
'Stupid punk kid.. anytime, anywhere I'll beat you, bitch'
