AEW Superstar Jungle Boy Wants to Wrestle Recently Released WWE NXT Superstar

AEW Superstar Jungle Boy has made a name for himself while working in Tony Khan’s company. He had put everyone on the main roster on notice with his brilliant in-ring skills in the promotion.

On June 30, earlier this year, on AEW Dynamite, Jungle Boy set a new AEW record. He became the first wrestler in the promotion to get to 50 victories when he beat Jack Evans via submission.

Speaking with Renee Paquette on her podcast, Oral Sessions, the Jurassic Express member confessed that there’s a wrestler he would like to face.

Recently WWE released over a dozen wrestlers both from NXT and 205 Live brand, and Jungle Boy said that he would like to face recently released NXT superstar, Jake Atlas.

Jungle Boy reveals the wrestler he wants to face

The AEW wrestler confessed to Renee that he’s good friends with Jake and vouched for his in-ring talent. He further added that he had some of the best matches of his career with Jake.

Jungle Boy also added that he would want to face Jake on a bigger stage at some point ahead in the future. However, with the ever-increasing AEW roster, there is a possibility.

“Those are guys I used to watch and that would be super cool. My best friend, actually, his name’s Jake Atlas. He just got laid off this last round of layoffs, and so far I’ve had some of my best matches of my career with him, a lot of those being on the indies, so I think for me it would be cool to do that again on a bigger stage, maybe. Fingers crossed.” said Jungle Boy. [h/t: WrestleTalk]

Surely, Jake Atlas must serve WWE’s standard no-compete clause; however, with his record on the indies circuit and in WWE, Atlas surely has a lot of potential ahead.
