Chris Jericho Compares AEW's Inner Circle To WWE's D-Generation X

Chris Jericho is hopeful that his Inner Circle faction can leave a similar imprint on the wrestling biz as old WWE favourites D-Generation X.

The AEW star has told ITR that he definitely wants his group to stick together and enjoy the same longevity DX did, although he realises how tough that will be in modern times. Even WWE's degenerates didn't last as one incarnation; DX has experienced numerous changes and had several incarnations between 1997-present day.

Jericho, however, thinks the Inner Circle has a chance. He pointed out how remarkable it is that he, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz have stuck together for a full year without any hints that a member might leave and feud with the rest of the remaining pack.

The former AEW World Champ also loves how D-Generation X started as heels then transitioned into a renegade babyface role. Could that be the Inner Circle's future? Could they go on to become the top face faction in AEW over the next few years?

What do you think of Jericho's comments? Do you think it's way too early to be making comparisons with DX, or do you see his logic?
