Just two days before AEW Double or Nothing, The Inner Circle received a special celebration on Dynamite.
Hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, the ceremony honored the stable’s impressive run in AEW.

Once the group members gathered in the ring, The Inner Circle looked back on its past. Ortiz stated that the stable put AEW on its back, and if their final battle is at the pay-per-view, he couldn’t be happier about having the chance to have that fight in front of the fans.

Sammy Guevara reflected on his turbulent run with the faction and vowed to try to help The Inner Circle beat The Pinnacle at AEW Double or Nothing. Finally, Chris Jericho promised to go down in a blaze of glory. He then told his stablemates he loved them.
On the video screen, MJF interrupted with a message of his own. He stepped back to reveal Dean Malenko, beaten up and helpless. The sight turned out to be an ambush as The Pinnacle ambushed The Inner Circle to close the show. The brutal assault culminated with simultaneous piledrivers from FTR to Ortiz and Santana. Clearly, The Inner Circle won’t be 100% when they arrive to the stadium on Sunday.
Is Sunday going to be the end of the #InnerCircle? Or did we just witness it tonight on #AEWDynamite?
