Chris Jericho is one of the best, if not the best wrestler in the world right now. Jericho has had success in every promotion he has competed in including WWE, WCW, IMPACT Wrestling and even AEW. Since debuting with AEW, Jericho has already become the first-ever AEW World Champion and he has even created a dominating and powerful group called The Inner Circle.
The Inner Circle is made up of Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana, Ortiz and Chris Jericho himself and has been one of the top main stars in the company. Most of the feuds have even featured members of The Inner Circle.
Jericho was recently interviewed by Darren Paltrowitz of Sportskeeda on the possibility of adding members to The Inner Circle. According to Jericho, he’s not opposed to it, but he’s not actively searching for new members. Jericho also noted that it depends on what happens in the storylines, because to him, everything is based on the story.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“Once again, I don’t know, it depends on what happens in the storylines.” “To me, everything is based on the story, the story that we’re telling, what fits, what doesn’t fit. I think one of the downfalls of the original nWo was when they started having Virgil and guys like that in there. It kind of takes some of the exclusiveness and cool factor.”
“If someone’s gonna be in The Inner Circle and get asked into The Inner Circle for real, it’s gonna have to be for a very good reason and something I’m going to have to be convinced of. I’m not opposed to it, but I’m not actively searching for new members.”
Jericho then talked about multiple young talents in AEW who he sees great potential in and who are underrated and underutilized now, but will be very big and a lot more popular at a certain point.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“I think MJF is a lot like Sammy Guevara, he’s moving up the ladder and he’s doing a great job at 23, 24 years old.” “I think Darby Allin’s the same. I think Jungle Boy has a huge upside. I think [SCU’s] Scorpio Sky has a huge upside.”
“You haven’t seen hardly anything of Dr. Luther yet and all the stuff that he can do. I think Trent is someone that’s going to be very big for us at a certain point. Orange Cassidy is very much a cult figure but when people start filling up the arenas again, you’re gonna see him being a lot more popular than he has been. There’s quite a few.”
“I think even with The Inner Circle, Santana, Ortiz, Hager, all these guys have grown a lot since we joined forces. The sky is the limit for them.”
