The Death Riders demonstrated their ruthless tactics on AEW Dynamite last night, setting the stage for a high-profile tag team match featuring Jon Moxley for the upcoming AEW Collision. Tony Khan‘s promotion revealed that Moxley, leader of the Death Riders, will team with Wheeler Yuta against JetSpeed—a duo composed of Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey—this Saturday at Collision in a match that promises intense action.
During the latest Dynamite episode, the Death Riders escalated their violent reputation by targeting Darby Allin with brutal tactics. The group placed Allin in a body bag and spun him around on Castagnoli’s shoulders, intensifying the threat before aiming to execute their signature chair maneuver around Allin’s neck. However, their plan was interrupted by a surprise return as Will Ospreay appeared to rescue Allin shortly after defeating Knight in a singles bout.
