4 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (June 4)
2. Three For The Price Of One
The Inner Circle vs. The Pinnacle isn't over.
Chris Jericho said as much during the Circle's promo train on Dynamite. So, the feud will continue after Blood & Guts and after last week's Stadium Stampede, but there's a slight tweak to how it'll work; Santana and Ortiz will pair off with FTR, Jake Hager has challenged Wardlow to an "MMA cage fight", and Jericho wants MJF.
It's the right call to move away from multi-man brawls here. Going from the sensationalised violence of Blood & Guts to the occasionally-comedic Stampede rush was difficult enough, and nobody needs to see a feud this good start to suck wind in a third overblown epic.
Spreading out the overall rivalry into several solo/tag issues is smart. Each one will offer something a little unique too. The tag match should be heated-but-more traditional, the MMA one is a hoss fight, and Jericho vs. MJF is the main course that should bring the house down.
Bring it on.
