Jon Moxley and The Deathriders experienced a major loss during the recent episode of AEW Dynamite, intensifying their ongoing rivalry with the Don Callis Family. The conflict has escalated over the past few months, originating from The Deathriders’ clashes with Don Callis’ faction, which recently culminated at the World’s End event where Moxley secured the Continental Championship after defeating Kyle Fletchter and Kazuchika Okada in the Continental Classic tournament‘s semifinals and finals.
Match Highlights and Key Moments
On this episode, Moxley teamed with PAC and Daniel Garcia to face off against El Clon, Konosuke Takeshita, and Josh Alexander in a six-man tag team match. PAC opened the contest, absorbing significant pressure from the Don Callis Family as the match progressed. The pace quickened with numerous tag exchanges and two intense moments between Moxley and Takeshita.
At a critical point, Moxley countered Takeshita’s offense and tagged in Garcia, who locked Takeshita in a Sharpshooter. Moxley then executed a Curb Stomp, but Josh Alexander disrupted the pinfall attempt, keeping the match alive.
The Don Callis Family temporarily gained the upper hand by isolating Moxley and PAC outside the ring, focusing their assault on Daniel Garcia. Garcia demonstrated resilience by kicking out of several pin attempts. Despite his efforts, Takeshita eventually secured victory by finishing Garcia with the Raging Fire maneuver.
Aftermath and Future Implications
Following the loss, Moxley appeared visibly disappointed but quickly recovered to confront The Alpha in a tense face-off, signaling that the conflict will continue. Takeshita’s pursuit of Moxley’s AEW Continental Championship remains a central focus, especially after Takeshita’s recent loss of the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. This sets the stage for a potential title match between the two in the near future.
