#5 "Iron" Mike Tyson is now an ancillary member of The Inner Circle in AEW
Boxing legend Mike Tyson acted as the special guest enforcer for Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood during this week's AEW Dynamite.
Earlier in the day, MJF interrupted Tyson's backstage promo, trying to bribe the legend with a blank cheque to shift the match in Harwood's favor. However, Tyson tore the cheque to pieces and made it clear that he would play fair.
Later, Chris Jericho acknowledged his new-found alliance with Mike Tyson, but he didn't expect any special favors from the boxing icon this week.
Towards the end of Harwood vs. Jericho, MJF and the rest of The Pinnacle entered the scene, which prompted The Inner Circle to retaliate immediately. Cash Wheeler tried to help out Harwood, but Tyson landed a vicious punch on Wheeler.
Eventually, Jericho picked up the victory over his opponent. After the match, Tyson became an ancillary member of The Inner Circle.
Mike Tyson getting involved with factions in professional wrestling isn't anything new. But then again, it remains an entertaining storyline, even in 2021.
