According to the Wrestling Observer, Perry is still under contract with AEW, but isn’t being utilized because Tony Khan isn’t happy with him:
“He has not been fired. He’s absolutely not been fired, but they’re not using him. Essentially, Tony’s really mad at him because he cost him CM Punk. He’s getting the blame.
He probably should have been suspended for a month or two. Where are we at, 7 months now? 7 Months. It’s ridiculous. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime at this point.”
