Jack Perry qualifies for TNT title ladder match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

Jack Perry is entering the TNT ladder match.

Perry defeated Dustin Rhodes with a running knee on AEW Dynamite to become the latest to qualify for the match that will determine a new TNT Champion at Forbidden Door on June 30 in New York.

After Adam Copeland injured his leg during his barbed wire steel cage match at Double or Nothing, The Elite stripped Copeland of the title and were prepared to put it on Perry, the only person in The Elite without a championship. However, Christopher Daniels came out and announced that he was the new interim EVP of AEW, and instead a ladder match would take place at Forbidden Door to determine a new champion.

Qualifying matches have taken place since then, with Konosuke Takeshita and Mark Briscoe advancing. Perry was seen watching Briscoe’s win and congratulated him, but said he would soon be TNT Champion.

Here is the updated lineup for Forbidden Door:

• AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland defends against Will Ospreay
• Ladder match for the vacant TNT Championship: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mark Briscoe vs. Jack Perry vs. TBA
• Title for title: TBS Champion Mercedes Mone vs. NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer
• AEW Women’s Championship: Toni Storm defends against Mina Shirakawa
