"The Inner Circle" forms
Last week, All Elite Wrestling presented the debut edition of AEW Dynamite on TNT. The show went head to head with WWE NXT, and garnered an impressive number in terms of viewership. The show ended with a big 6-man tag team match that was being promoted for a while. It pitted AEW World Champion Jericho and his partners Santana and Ortiz, against Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks. A Judas Effect ended things with a victory for the heels, and what happened next was nothing short of shocking. A beatdown ensued, prompting Cody Rhodes to come out for the save, followed by Dustin Rhodes. Sammy Guevara came out too, and joined the heels. Finally, former WWE Superstar Jack Swagger made his AEW debut and joined the bad guys.

A fan noticed the name of Jericho's faction, and addressed the same in a tweet directed towards the AEW World Champion. He asked how could Jericho use this name, while mocking WWE and its creative team. Jericho responded to the fan, and cleared the air by stating that he isn't mocking anyone.
