One thing many have agreed on regarding the release of the backstage footage was the benefit it gave to Perry. “The Scapegoat” saw his t-shirt sales skyrocket in the wake of the video, and the AEW star received a molten hot reaction at New Japan Windy City Riot last Friday in Chicago, Punk’s hometown, where he faced Shota Umino in a losing effort. The reaction hasn’t gone unnoticed by Khan, who was backstage at Windy City Riot to see Perry and fellow AEW star Jon Moxley, who captured the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.

“It was fascinating to see after that tape played, the reaction that Jack Perry got at New Japan Pro Wrestling this week,” Khan said. “He got the reaction of a superstar. That is not altogether unexpected and it’s something very interesting, perhaps a side effect of this. Jack Perry [is] already a big star in wrestling, really the way the crowd connected with him in Chicago, that was interesting to see.”
