At All In 2025, Jon Moxley, leader of The Death Riders faction, lost the AEW World Title to Adam Page in a brutal Texas Death Match that electrified the crowd. The faction, which includes Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and the injured PAC, is currently embroiled in heated conflicts both within AEW and with external rivals. Moxley himself is involved in a personal feud against former AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin, while The Death Riders are also clashing with Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey, who operate as the team JetSpeed.
Growing Tensions Lead to Member Abduction and Departure
During the latest AEW Dynamite episode, Moxley battled Mike Bailey in a tense encounter. In a shocking moment, Darby Allin abducted Wheeler Yuta, a prominent member of The Death Riders, from ringside. Yuta was later found by Shafir and Moxley in a body bag outside the arena, highlighting the escalating danger surrounding the faction. Adding to the turmoil, Kevin Knight confirmed through AEW’s official social media that Yuta is no longer part of the group, signaling a significant shake-up within The Death Riders.
Kevin Knight Confronts Jon Moxley Ahead of Upcoming Match
Kevin Knight took aim at Jon Moxley directly, emphasizing the cracks appearing in Moxley’s leadership and form. Knight vowed to confront Moxley during their upcoming matchup in Cincinnati, intensifying the rivalry between their factions.
“You know, it’s crazy how the mighty have fallen in AEW. Specifically, you, Jon Moxley. And the rest of The Death Riders that you’ve got with you, because it seems like ya’ll lost a member tonight. And Marina, I’ll deal with her the way I do with the rest of my shawtys. I’ll leave her on read. But you, Jon Moxley, I see a crack in your game. I’ve seen the fear in your eyes when Speedball has you on the rails. So next week, I’m coming to your city. I’m coming to your city, Cincinnati, to show you exactly why the Jet is too fly,” Knight said.
Karrion Kross Hopes for Jon Moxley’s WWE Comeback
Amid the faction’s internal struggles, Jon Moxley’s friend and fellow wrestler Karrion Kross expressed his wish to see Moxley return to WWE. On the Battleground Podcast, Kross shared his belief that Moxley’s potential WWE comeback would be an incredible development for the wrestling world.
“I do hope one day. I do hope one day that he does come back to WWE because I think it would be insane,” Kross said.
While Moxley’s future remains uncertain, this sentiment highlights the possibility of significant career moves for the former AEW World Champion.
Ongoing Impact of Member Loss on The Death Riders
The departure of Wheeler Yuta, combined with Moxley’s recent title loss and ongoing personal and faction rivalries, marks a challenging phase for The Death Riders. These setbacks may influence the power dynamics within AEW’s factional landscape and impact their strategies moving forward. As tensions rise and alliances shift, fans will be watching closely to see how Jon Moxley and his faction respond to these new hurdles.
