This is a huge achievement for the Inner Circle, especially for Jericho and MJF. After weeks of claiming the ‘official’ Tag Team spot of Inner Circle, the duo finally earned a sure shot title opportunity at AEW Revolution.

However, the question remains – is everything alright between the Inner Circle members? From the moment MJF and Jericho became the ‘official’ team, tensions kept increasing. Interestingly, that has not derailed the group’s success, considering that the Inner Circle recently won their first AEW Award.
