The Inner Circle lives to fight another day.
At AEW Double or Nothing, The Inner Circle defeated The Pinnacle in the Stadium Stampede Main Event. As a result, Chris Jericho's faction, which formed all the way back in October 2019, does not have to disband.
After losing at Blood & Guts, Jericho goaded MJF into giving them a rematch and put their group on the line just to get another shot at the man that betrayed them not all that long ago.
During the bout, there were some notable cameo appearances from Jaguars coaches Urban Meyer and Charlie Strong. Konnan appeared as the DJ in the bar where FTR and Santana and Ortiz were fighting. Shahid Khan even made an appearance as MJF and Jericho brawled through the Jaguars' offices.
The men all paired off, with Jake Hager and Wardlow fighting in a freezer, FTR and Santana and Ortiz smashed bottled in a bar, MJF and Jericho fought in the offices and eventually ended in the stands with Jericho slamming MJF through a table. Shawn Spear and Sammy Guevara fought all over the place, with Sammy chasing Spears down with a golf cart at one point. Those two ended up in the ring and traded chair shots before Sammy stomped The Chairman's head through a chair and then hit a splash for the win.
The Inner Circle all converged in the ring to celebrate with a little bit of the bubbly as the crowd sang Judas to end the show.
The bubbly will be flowing tonight! -- #InnerCircle#AEWDoN pic.twitter.com/GOXCjhfXnK
