#2 The Inner Circle, led by former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho
The Inner Circle is a close-knit AEW faction. The members are thriving as babyfaces after spending much of their career in the company as villains.
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson was made an honorary member of the group in 2021, making him the only man to be part of D-Generation X and The Inner Circle.
The Inner Circle is currently embroiled in a rivalry against American Top Team. Once they rightfully defeat the invaders from MMA, the former should return to championship dominance.
#1 The Elite
The Elite was instrumental in the foundation of AEW, and the "Elite" in the company's name already marks their importance. The current version, however, does not include the likes of Cody Rhodes and Hangman Page.
Currently the top heel faction of the company, it has AEW World Champion Kenny Omega as the leader. The faction is a constant presence in the main event of the promotion's weekly shows and pay-per-views. The debut and addition of Adam Cole have enhanced the group's stature.
