Chris Jericho vs. MJF at Full Gear

Chris Jericho vs. MJF at Full Gear

At Full Gear, MJF will gain access to the most exclusive club in professional wrestling, The Inner Circle, with a victory over the group's leader, Chris Jericho. As with other stipulations on this card, this sets up the direction for the match.

AEW's purest heel has made his intentions to join The Inner Circle clear. Over the past few weeks, he gifted the group personalized bomber jackets, butted heads with Sammy Guevara, and answered some hard-hitting questions at a Townhall meeting.

Chris Jericho and MJF's recent segments have been thoroughly entertaining. Le Dinner Debonair turned out to be one of the most memorable segments in wrestling history. Then, Jericho made it clear to his younger counterpart that he’ll let him join the stable if he overcomes him in this first-time matchup at Full Gear. MJF has stayed true to his claim that he is willing to go to any extent to best his veteran competition by charging towards the commentary box and tackling Jericho on the go-home episode of Dynamite.

There are a lot of storyline possibilities here following Full Gear. If MJF wins this, he can join The Inner Circle or he can decide not to join, leading to a full-blown feud. While If Jericho goes over on Saturday, MJF can take his heel character to the next level and en route to a full-blown feud.

The best way to go forward is to give MJF the win and align him with the group as it opens up several mouthwatering possibilities. The rest of his stablemates aren’t MJF's biggest admirers and will likely try to prevent him from winning at Full Gear. As a member of The Inner Circle, a victory to hold over their leader will give AEW better stories to tell. MJF could eventually spark an Inner Circle break down the road as the stable has started to look like it has run its course.

Our Pick: MJF wins
