The build up of MJF joining The Inner Circle has shown cracks in the foundation of the faction. MJF seems to be on his way to bullying and pushing Sammy Guevara out of the faction, despite Jericho and company still being fond of “The Spanish God.” So what direction are they heading in?
AEW rarely doesn’t have a long term plan for something, and it seems like there’s plans in place for Guevara, and the signs seem to be pointing to a babyface turn for him. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Guevara’s direction and how soon we could see him shift towards becoming a babyface. Another key point he brought up was Matt Hardy’s promo on Dynamite and how he put over Guevara and how he had earned his respect.
“[Sammy Guevara] has got to go babyface in the long run, maybe that’s the deal here. That should be the deal here because the Matt Hardy promo to me is saying that Sammy is going to be a babyface soon and you know he got my respect and everything like that.”
MJF has been in this position before. In the build up to AEW going on TNT for Dynamite, MJF was part of the Nightmare Family and was rude to other people in Cody’s circle behind his back. Perhaps the same cycle is starting, except this time he is doing it to Chris Jericho instead of Rhodes. We could see a lot more next week when The Inner Circle hits Vegas.
