There was an Inner Circle meeting in the ring this week on AEW Dynamite to figure out what is going on between Chris Jericho and the team of Santana and Ortiz.
Santana said that everything they’ve done as a group has been for the betterment of Jericho and whenever Santana and Ortiz were in the hunt for the AEW World Tag Team Titles, the idea would get shut down by Jericho. Santana said that he and Ortiz are now done playing second fiddle because it was always Jericho standing in their way while the fans kept them going.
Santana said he would have dropped Jericho a long time ago if it wasn’t for Ortiz talking him out of it. Jericho compared Santana to Eddie Guerrero and said that he gets super hyped up but he blames his friends. Jericho noted that Santana and Ortiz had their chance to win the titles but they lost to The Young Bucks and since he brought them into The Inner Circle, he can kick them out as well. Jericho said that perhaps, he invited the wrong members of LAX to join the group and maybe he should have called Homicide and Hernandez. That led to Santana putting his hands on Jericho and Sammy Guevara breaking them up.
There was also tension between Guevara and Jericho. Guevara said his goal is to be one of the greatest champions ever and the bickering won’t help and thus he will be out of the group of they can’t figure things out. This led to a match for next week…Santana and Ortiz vs. Chris Jericho and Jake Hager.
