WOW! Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle Made One of The Greatest Entrances Ever at AEW Double or Nothing
AEW fans witnessed the second-ever ‘stadium stampede’ match at Double or Nothing 2021 as Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle successfully survived against MJF and The Pinnacle.
Apart from the highly acclaimed match, the fans can’t get enough of The Inner Circle’s stellar entrance into the TIAA Bank Field. MJF had a rather meek entrance with limousines, something that is often overused in sports entertainment.
Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz entered from the top of the stadium scoreboard with the Inner Circle logo in the background. MJF stared in awe and disbelief as The Inner Circle ascended from the heavens as “Judas” was played in the background.
When they finally came down, flames were blazing to the tunes of the ‘Le Champion’s theme. The rest of the Pinnacle arrived in a truck as the match started. Jericho later shared a video of their iconic entrance as he wrote, “I’d say we know how to make an ENTRANCE!!! #InnerCircle FOREVER!!”
Jericho went after MJF, Hager went after Wardlow, Guevara chose Shawn Spears as the opponent of his choice. Santana and Ortiz brawled with FTR. Ultimately, Guevara captured the win for his stable as he pinned Spears following a 630 Senton and a chair shot.
Following the match, The Inner Circle posed inside the ring as the crowd sang “Judas In My Mind” to close the show.

Fans react to Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle’s entrance at AEW Double or Nothing
Following the match, fans went to Twitter and showed their appreciation for the risque entrance. The wrestling industry rarely uses harness-bound entrances because of multiple accidents in the past, the most notorious being Owen Hart’s unfortunate passing.
Let’s check out some reactions below –

Top to bottom that was THE best PPV @AEW have produced. It looked like a brilliant card on paper & it delivered.
That @IAmJericho / Inner Circle entrance though…
Can’t wait to talk to @AshroseUK about this tomorrow on The Hooked On Wrestling Show. #aew #DoubleOrNothing https://t.co/zJ5MkLThha

Some fans thought the entrance was bound to bring back painful memories of Owen’s unfortunate demise. People also talked about anxiety while watching them come down from the top –
This is probably gonna be unpopular but the inner circle entrance shouldn’t have happened. If you do an entrance from the rafters with a harness and cord, fans will immediately think of Owen Hart. It’s unnecessary and not at all worth bringing back the memory

Jesus Inner Circle’s entrance is giving me a heart attack.#DoubleOrNothing

Some fans quickly pointed out the similarities between Shawn Michaels’ WrestleMania 12 entrance of coming down from the roof of the arena in a harness –
I believed HBK entrance at Mania 12 was one of the greatest entrancea with the zip wire.
However the Inner Circle entrance repelling down the staduim is now the greatest EVER!!
What a match. What a PPV. #AEWDoN
