After great success with Inner Circle, Chris Jericho has again formed a new stable called Jericho Appreciation Society.
Neither Sammy Guevara, Santana, nor Ortiz is in the new group as Jericho added a new breed of stablemates: Matt Lee & Jeff Parker of 2.0, and Daniel Garcia. Jake Hager remained with Jericho.
Earlier on AEW Dynamite St. Patrick's Slam, the former AEW Champion had a segment with his new stable. He seemingly renamed the 2.0 members Matt Lee & Jeff Parker. Only Jericho, Hager& Garcia had their real names.
Matt Lee became "Daddy Magic" Matt Minard, and Jeff Parker became "Cool Hands" Angelo Parker.
Minard & Parker wrestled first at International Wrestling Syndicate for 11 years. They are two-time IWS World Tag Team Champions. Parker is a two-time IWS Canadian Champion and IWS World Champion, while Minard is a former IWS World Champion.
They went to Chikara and won the tag team titles, named "Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas," twice. They beat the F.I.S.T (Chuck Taylor & Icarus) and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson).
The duo got renamed "Ever Rise" when they appeared on WWE NXT as Chase Parker & Matt Martel.
Garcia competed in Limitless Wrestling and was a world champion in March 2021. He also had a stint on WWE 205 Live and NXT with losses against Drew Gulak and Tyler Rust. He also competed at the Pro Wrestling Guerilla: Battle of Los Angeles and won the tournament by beating Mike Bailey in January 2022.
Hager is a former World Heavyweight Champion, United States Champion, and ECW Champion in WWE as "Jack Swagger." He's currently competing in Bellator MMA and has a 3-0 record there.
