Every AEW Stable Ranked From Worst To Best
2. The Inner Circle
Members: Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, Mike Tyson
From the get-go, Chris Jericho was one of the most crucial presences in AEW. As the company's inaugural World Champion, Jericho brought mainstream attention to the product and proved a curiosity for lapsed fans and those tired of WWE's mixed booking.
After he helped establish AEW's upper card, Jericho shared his platform, founding The Inner Circle. Not only did this shine the light on other talents, but the storyline-led faction quickly proved entertaining when its members were rocked by the early betrayal and defection of MJF and his ally Wardlow. Like the MJF-led The Pinnacle, The Inner Circle is a well-rounded and multi-talented group. Santana and Ortiz are two of the finest tag team technicians in pro-wrestling. Jake Hager is an experienced enfrocer, able to intimidate by his mere presence.
Meanwhile, Guevara is a rising sports entertainer and a serious prospect that has main event success in his future. The teamwork well without losing their individuality and have given us classic matches stringing together memorable moments.
Plus having Mike Tyson as an honourary member provides additional novelty.
