* ConflictingLoyalty: Beginning in August 2022, Daniel Garcia becomes conflicted choosing between his loyalty to Chris Jericho and his respect and admiration for his hero, Wrestling/BryanDanielson.

** "The Wizard" is Chris Jericho's latest handle after the fireball to Kingston.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Daniel Garcia is noticeably less sycophantic than the other members of the group, and is one of the few who generally avoids relying on underhanded tactics to win. Despite the group's animosity with The Blackpool Combat Club, Garcia and Bryan Danielson clearly view one another as {{Worthy Opponent}}s. This consequently resulted in tension between him and Jericho.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: In terms of in-ring philosophies, they are the sports entertainment-orientated performers technicians to the Blackpool Combat Club's pro-wrestling focused technicians.

At the time of this writing, Garcia is the current Wrestling/RingOfHonor Pure Champion.

* OnceAnEpisode: As Jericho performs commentary on ''Rampage'', every episode has Chris Jericho nominate a wrestler competing that week to be "Sports Entertainer of the Week."

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Beginning in August 2022, Daniel Garcia becomes conflicted choosing between his loyalty to Chris Jericho and his respect and admiration for his hero, Wrestling/BryanDanielson.

* {{Foil}}: While not quite to the level of EvilCounterpart like the JAS is to the former Inner Circle, they are the antithesis to the Wrestling/BlackpoolCombatClub. Both factions were founded at a similar time, but while Wrestling/WilliamRegal's fight camp is focused on promoting serious wrestling, Jericho's gang desires to put sports entertainment first. This natural counterpoint, along with Jericho's ArchEnemy Eddie Kingston being close friends with Jon Moxley (not so much Bryan Danielson) and very much sharing the group's leanings, all but guaranteed BCC would be joining the former LAX in feuding against JAS.

--> "The Jericho Appreciation Society. The epitome of sports entertainers."

In early 2022, [[Wrestling/InnerCircle the Inner Circle]] had been experiencing friction, as tensions rose between Jericho and [[Wrestling/SantanaAndOrtiz Santana & Ortiz]] over the latter's friendship with Wrestling/EddieKingston (whom was butting heads with at the time) and the former being accused of hogging the spotlight at their expense. This would come to a head on the 3/9/22 episode of Dynamite, when Jericho and Hager turned on Santana and Ortiz, and aligned themselves with 2.0 and Daniel Garcia (whom both Jericho and Kingston had been feuding with prior). As a result, Jericho disbanded the Inner Circle and replaced it with a new faction...one focused on sports entertainment.

* RedBaron: Hager and Melo are the only ones who don't seem to have any strong nicknames in AEW. The rest are below.

** "Red Death" seems to be Daniel Garcia's nickname according to the group's entrance video. He officially adopts the moniker of "Dragonslayer" after defeating Bryan Danielson in a match.

** Jericho renaming 2point0 to their '[[BlatantLies real names]]', "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and "Cool Hand Ang" Angelo Parker, is a shot at WWE's policy of renaming established wrestlers who sign with them. At the time, [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT 2.0]] was recently established and earned notoriety among fans for its name changes of wrestlers who had even been with the company for years at that point, such as Wrestling/{{WALTER}} becoming "Gunter".

** Jake Hager runs down to ring and seem to call out Jericho for his actions...only to immediately afterwards attack Ortiz and assist in the beating, ultimately culminating in Hager powerbombing Kingston through a nearby table. When the dust settled, both Jericho and Hager discard their Inner Circle vests, laying them on the fallen bodies of Santana and Ortiz, and the five men stand tall together, establishing the birth of the JAS.

** The Hanger-On: Tay Conti/Melo and Anna Jay

On the 6/15/22 episode of Dynamite, Inner Circle alumni, Sammy Guevara revealed his allegiance to the JAS when he interfered in a hair vs. hair match between Jericho and Ortiz, allowing the former to get the win, with Tay Melo, then Sammy's girlfriend and now his wife, following suit not long after.[[note]]When Melo joined the stable, she was using the name Tay Conti, reflecting her former marriage to Jorge Conti. Shortly after marrying Guevara, she went back to using Melo (her real middle name) as her ring surname.[[/note]]

** Tay Conti changes her ring surname to Tay ''Melo'' (her middle name outside of kayfabe) after marrying Sammy Guevara.

** While Sammy Guevara (and by extension, his girlfriend, Tay Conti) had noticeably [[TookALevelInJerkass become more haughty and arrogant]] after regaining the TNT Championship from Scorpio Sky, him interfering in the hair vs. hair match disguised as his friend, Fuego Del Sol and his subsequent joining of the JAS officially cemented him as a heel.
** During Night 2 of ''Fyter Fest 2022'', Tay Conti interfered during the Barbed Wire Anywhere match, attacking Ruby Soho (who had the controls to the cage containing the JAS). Anna Jay arrived and appeared to stop her former friend...only to abruptly clock Ruby and assisted her friend in unlocking the cage, freeing the JAS.

* HypocriticalHumor: Christopher Irvine's claim that the group uses their real names, and not their stupid fake names, is this.

** Tay Conti changes her surname to Tay ''Melo'' after marrying Sammy Guevara.
