Jungle Boy is currently embroiled in a deeply-personal storyline with his former mentor, Christian Cage, who recently turned heel and attacked him.
At this week's Dynamite, the former world champion delivered a heated promo, even mentioning Jungle Boy's late father and Hollywood star Luke Perry. However, the 25-year-old star was nowhere to be seen, possibly due to his injury.
It'll be interesting to see when the former AEW Tag Team Champion returns to reignite his feud with Christian. The rivalry could become a marquee one and catapult Jungle Boy into the main event status in the promotion.

On June 15th, 2022, edition of Dynamite, Jurassic Express dropped their Tag Team Championship to The Young Bucks, thus marking the end of their more than six-month reign with the gold.
Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus made several successful defenses during their run but unfortunately failed to retain against Nick and Matt Jackson, as mentioned above. The Ladder match was as chaotic as one could imagine, with The Young Bucks employing every trick under their sleeve to become two-time champions.
