The Pinnacle was established during the March 10, 2021 episode of AEW Dynamite, as MJF betrayed Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle. The group consisted of MJF, Wardlow, FTR, Shawn Spears, and Tully Blanchard.
The Pinnacle faction came to an end after Wardlow turned against MJF in the earlier part of last year. Despite having a lot of potential, many fans were disappointed as the group never reached their full potential and failed to make a significant impact.
While speaking on his FTR with Dax and Matt Koon podcast, Dax Harwood talked about his time as part of The Pinnacle. Harwood revealed that they wanted to include Britt Baker and Serena Deeb in the faction, but it just never materialized.
“We really wanted Britt, and there were talks of Britt being in the group, but Britt is a standalone star, no one needs to mess with her, she’s great. The other one that I really wanted and talk to Tony (Khan) about, he was pretty excited and had the idea, was Serena Deeb. Up until that point, she had been a babyface, but I thought she really fit what the Pinnacle was, especially Cash and myself, just an incredible wrestler who is considered a badass among the women. Those are the two, and the closest was probably Serena Deeb.”

Dax Harwood also believed that the faction was dead on arrival. In August last year, FTR and Wardlow reunited and teamed up for AEW All Out. However, the reunion was short-lived as they quickly went their separate ways due to different storylines and programs.
