Perry employed classic heel tactics to grab the win, blasting HOOK with the title belt after referee Paul Turner had taken a bump.

Before the match, Perry appeared in a video segment, seemingly literally burying the ‘Jungle Boy’ gimmick. He then came out to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 rather than Baltimora’s ‘Tarzan Boy’.
