The Inner Circle is one of AEW’s most dominant factions. Last month, MJF and Wardlow joined the group after the ‘Salt of the Earth’ defeated Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear. Since then, all is not well amongst The Inner Circle. The tensions finally led to ‘Le Champion’ calling for an ultimatum this week on Dynamite.

Is The Inner Circle staying together?
‘Demo God‘ Chris Jericho came out to the stage with The Inner Circle for the ultimatum. Jericho mentioned it was a very serious night for them. He said everything that is happening in the group is not what he expected when he formed it or brought MJF and Wardlow in it.
.@IAmJericho says what the deal is. Either sort it out now or no more Inner Circle.

Jericho said The Inner Circle is not on the same page. Sammy doesn’t like MJF, Hager doesn’t like Wardlow, Ortiz is sick of everyone and Santana was so pissed off that he didn’t even show up to work. He asked them to get it all together and let their grievances out.
MJF took the microphone and tried to sweet talk his way through. Jericho pointed what happened last week, as MJF continued with sugar-coated lethal words until Ortiz cut him off. Ortiz asked Sammy to shake MJF’s hand and bury it.
Can @MJF & @SammyGuevara put their issues aside for the better of the Inner Circle?

Sammy was reluctant at first, but he eventually came face to face with MJF. Jericho said he would quit the group if one more thing happens. Hager and Wardlow also settled their differences and finally stopped staring at each other.
‘Shake his hand Sammy’ – @Ortiz_Powerful.
But, @sammyguevara added something else to the deal.

The Inner Circle did not disband. Moreover, Jericho said they would continue to build, grow and be dominant like everyone knows they can in AEW.

We have no clue how the storyline will carry on from here, but we can guess MJF is surely being the factor leading to The Inner Circle’s eventual end. The tension may have subsided for now, but expect it to rise anytime, anywhere. What will The Inner Circle do next? Discuss in the comments below!
