The Inner Circle was an American professional wrestling stable formed in American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW), created and led by Chris Jericho. It also consisted of original members Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz.
The stable was formed during the first episode of AEW Dynamite and became one of the central acts of the promotion during the first years, since Jericho became the AEW World Champion. The stable first notable feud was against The Elite, being defeated in a Stadium Stampede. The stable also included MJF and Wardlow for a few months before MJF turned on them and created his own stable, The Pinnacle, facing both stables in a Blood and Guts match and a Stadium Stampede. During the final months of the stable, they feuded with American Top Team and Sammy Guevara won the AEW TNT Championship twice. The stable disbanded after Jericho and Hager turned on Santana and Ortiz, with several members joining the Jericho Appreciation Society, also led by Jericho.
