Eric Bischoff Returning On This Week's AEW Dynamite

Chris Jericho has revealed that Eric Bischoff will return on this week's AEW Dynamite to host a celebration of The Inner Circle.

The former WCW Executive Director will appear on this Friday's show to compère the celebrations on an evening that could be The Inner Circle's final night as a faction together.

Bischoff's appearance on Friday will be his fourth for AEW. He first showed up as the host of a debate between Jericho and Orange Cassidy in August 2020, followed by another appearance at a 'town hall meeting' between Jericho and MJF in October. 

His most recent was on the March 3 Dynamite episode, when he participated in a press conference between Inner Circle and The Young Bucks.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Jericho said: "This Friday we’re having a celebration of the Inner Circle that has been, kind of, promoted and perpetuated by AEW. This is not an Inner Circle idea, this is AEW kind of giving thanks to the Inner Circle for all that we’ve done in the past year and a half. Because if this is indeed our last match at Stadium Stampede, then we’re going down with all guns blazing.

"But the host, the MC, of this Inner Circle celebration. This is exclusive, we haven’t told anybody this, but it’s going to be a returning Eric Bischoff to host and MC the whole segment. First time that Bischoff and I have ever been on the same side!

"Much like when I called Mike Tyson, when we had our change of heart a few months ago, another guy I called was Eric Bischoff. We have made amends and Eric agreed to come down and MC the celebration of the Inner Circle, this Friday on TNT."
