The Jurassic Express is back. AEW National Champion Jack Perry made a surprise appearance at GCW Maniac on April 4, emerging from the crowd to save longtime ally Marko Stunt from an attack by KJ Orso and reigniting one of independent wrestling’s most beloved tag team partnerships in the process.
As Orso laid into Stunt, Perry entered the ring through the crowd carrying a steel chair and helped Stunt launch a counterattack. Shortly after, it was announced that Perry and Stunt will team up to face KJ Orso and Sam Stackhouse at Joey Janela’s Spring Break on April 17 in Las Vegas — making the Jurassic Express reunion official for one of WrestleMania weekend’s most anticipated independent wrestling events.

The April 17 Spring Break show at Horseshoe Las Vegas takes place during WrestleMania 42 week, giving wrestling fans in Las Vegas another major option during the weekend’s packed schedule. Beyond the Perry and Stunt tag match, the card features Joey Janela taking on Brodie Lee Jr. and ECW legend Sandman competing in what has been announced as his final wrestling match. The Rascalz of AEW have also been announced for the show. The Perry appearance at GCW while holding the AEW National Championship continues his pattern of independent wrestling involvement outside of his AEW commitments, and the Jurassic Express reunion gives Spring Break one of its more emotionally resonant storylines heading into Las Vegas.
