Chris Jericho reveals more details about the formation of the Inner Circle
Chris Jericho is one of the top stars in AEW. The first episode of AEW Dynamite saw the formation of the Inner Circle with Chris Jericho joining forces with Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz. Incidentally, this is also the first time Chris Jericho has led his own faction in his storied career. The Inner Circle have gone on to cement themselves as one of the top factions in the company.
In a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, Chris Jericho opened up about the Inner Circle and gave more details about how the faction was formed. Jericho spoke about why he felt the faction worked so well and went on to compare them to Guns N' Roses:
I love the Inner Circle. I love the fact we all had different ideas of who was gonna be in it and the first choices with the exception of maybe one of the guys, was not the guys we ended up having. But after the first night, I saw a picture of us, and was like ‘This looks cool.’ You’ve got five guys with five different looks, five different characters, but it worked. It’s like when Guns N’ Roses formed and did they ever think this was gonna be something, and then you get into a room and you start jamming and you realize the chemistry here is amazing. And that’s what we have with the Inner Circle. H/T: 411Mania
