Wednesday’s 52nd Anniversary Event for New Japan Pro Wrestling in Tokyo, Japan featured “Scapegoat” Jack Perry officially becoming the newest member of House of Torture.
During the New Japan Cup 2024 tournament First Round match between Perry and Shota Umino, House of Torture’s Yoshinobu Kanemaru ran out and got on the apron causing the referee to be distracted leading to Ren Narita coming out and attacked Umino from behind. This led to Perry hitting a running knee strike to Umino for the pinfall victory to advance to the next round of this year’s tournament.
I must say that I'm very surprised by Jack Perry's performance in the opening round of the #njcup against Shota Umino, both showed good moves up until House Of Torture's intervention for Perry to win and to become the newest member of HOT #njpw52nd #njpw pic.twitter.com/AxiLy1HruF

Following the match, the rest of House of Torture came out and EVIL offered a House of Torture shirt to Perry as membership into his group. Perry grabbed the shirt and proceeded to put it on accepting EVIL’s offer. Perry and the rest of House of Torture stood over Umino’s fallen body before leaving the ring.
