#5. The birth of a faction

The first episode of AEW Dynamite ended with a bang last week as we saw what looked like the birth of a new faction featuring Chris Jericho, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara and former WWE Superstar and Bellator fighter Jake Hager fka Jack Swagger. This was sort of confirmed later by Tony Khan in his post-Dynamite press conference.
This faction looks like they could be set to try and take over All Elite Wrestling although we haven’t found out much more since last week’s episode of Dynamite. Tonight’s episode sees Jericho teaming up with Sammy Guevara (more on this match later) as they face Dustin Rhodes and Hangman Page.
Along with the match, we should also learn more about the Jericho’s faction on AEW Dynamite tonight including a name and if there are any other members, which looks unlikely. Jericho, to my knowledge, has never led a faction so far in his storied career and just like almost everything he’s done, this should make for some really compelling television.
