10 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Nov 4)

Ups...

10. MJF & Jericho Fire Up

MJF The Inner Circle
AEW

Dasha hosted an Inner Circle interview to kick Dynamite off, with Chris Jericho putting Jake Hager over as the toughest man on the planet following his latest MMA fight. In walked MJF and Wardlow, touching on the tension in last week's Town Hall Meeting, leading, ultimately, to Jericho telling Max he lacked the killer instinct to make it in the Inner Circle.

"Soft? Just watch", said 'The Salt of the Earth', followed up by launching himself at Jericho after beating Sammy Guevara and Ortiz, levelling their rivalry's intensity up.

Last week saw MJF claim he'd do "anything" to beat Jericho and join The Inner Circle. It was a loaded term that opened the door for endless possibilities, though it looks like that "killer instinct" will play into it, particularly after MJF leaping at Jericho in such a manner.

Good, concise storytelling, and the pay-per-view match is stronger for it.
