9. An Inner Circle Blame Game Starts

Should the Inner Circle lose, then there will be friction too. Jericho will point a finger at Sammy Guevara, for example, and vice versa. That'd ignite a whole new chapter for the faction, and maybe even lead to Jezza vs. Sammy showdown at Double Or Nothing next year.

It shouldn't happen.

The Circle managed to overcome The Elite and The Pinnacle in powerful, lengthy rivalries that spanned some of AEW's most entertaining and brutal matches. It'd suck balls if they then dropped to American Top Team and ended up splitting because Dan freakin' Lambert got the last laugh.

Something about that just doesn't sit right. This MMA feud cannot be the catalyst for an Inner Circle breakup; Jericho, Guevara Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz have been through too much together in storyline to let Andrei Arlovski do down in history for causing their demise.

No offence intended to Mr. Arlovski, but you get the point.
