Jack Perry, Piper Niven, Adriana Rizzo, Nattie, NWA 78, Apollo Crews – Friday’s Latest Pro Wrestling News for June 26th, 2026

Jack Perry

In this interview Tony Khan addressed the AEW status of Jack Perry: “The plan for AEW and Jack is for Jack to be here for a long time. I have believed that Jack is a great wrestler for many years, and I continue to feel that way. I like Jack very much, personally. He has a very bright future in wrestling and a great mind for wrestling. It’s been really gratifying for me and fans (to see) the return of Jungle Jack Perry and seeing fans embrace Jack and the great matches he’s been having. The plan is for Jack Perry to be in AEW for a long time, so that’s going to happen.”

Here’s a neck surgery update from Piper Niven: “6 week post surgery check up today. Everything fusing nicely.”

More good news — NXT’s Adriana Rizzo looks to be ready to return from her ACL tear.

Nattie Neidhart will be competing at NWA 78 on July 25th — apparently with WWE’s blessing. That’s not too surprising though as they also let her compete at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport.

TNA appears to be interested in Apollo Crews when his 90 day no compete expires. (FF)
