@MSidgwick I think the Archer situation led AEW to tell a chapter of their story earlier than planned last night.
Team Taz helped Kingston's team and stood tall, and it furthered the idea that all of the heel groups have taken over the show - with heel managers at the core.

Well, managers and leaders.
Team Taz, Kingston's group, Jake/Archer looming over the heavyweight and tag divisions,
Brodie Lee's Dark Order have the TNT Championship and have numbers in the tag division.
They have even planted seeds for Vickie's Nyla Rose to challenge once more

I definitely think that Inner Circle face turn will be coming sooner rather than later as a result. I think Jericho being accused as attacking Hardy will provr to be a red herring, and Jericho/Hager may make a surprise save for Private Party at one point to inform this.

Really interesting stuff. I love how AEW hasn't given us the whole banding together of faces to protect the company's name - Eg Team Cena at Summerslam or TNA's Frontline

The faces are absolutely fragmented. You could make an argument that almost all of them are antiheroes.

And I guess that is one advantage that AEW has by being such a young company - they can't give us the narrative of faces protecting the company's legacy/history as it is still relatively young, so individual goals run riot here.
