Earlier this week, Jon Moxley‘s AEW stablemate Wheeler Yuta was unexpectedly abducted by fellow star Darby Allin during a live event, sparking significant tension within the promotion. The company recently issued a statement that lightheartedly mocked the star responsible while DJs Moxley’s reaction to the incident.
Wheeler Yuta Taken Off-Screen in Unexpected Moment
On an episode of Dynamite, Darby Allin suddenly emerged from the audience and stealthily put a cloth over Wheeler Yuta’s face before dragging him backstage. At the time, Jon Moxley was engaged in an intense match and could not intervene immediately. After finishing the contest, Moxley pursued Allin and eventually discovered Yuta restrained inside a body bag in the parking lot area.
AEW’s social media team shared the photo of this dramatic scene and added their own humorous twist, editing the note taped on Yuta’s forehead. They joked about the message, suggesting that if they managed it, they would ask whoever found Yuta to give him a haircut. This playful remark references fans frequently commenting on the length of Wheeler Yuta’s hair since joining the Death Riders faction.
Jon Moxley Receives Challenge for Forbidden Door Match
Later that night, Jon Moxley was issued a match challenge for the upcoming Forbidden Door event. After locating Wheeler Yuta, Moxley found a note left by Darby Allin establishing the stakes for their grudge match, a showdown that promises to conclude nearly a year of animosity between the two. Despite the challenge, the former AEW World Champion showed visible frustration and did not immediately accept the provocation.
Matters escalated when Darby Allin drove past the scene, appearing to taunt Moxley and the Death Riders. Since his return at All In: Texas, Allin has engaged in psychological tactics aimed at unsettling Moxley and his allies. This ongoing feud continues to fuel strong anticipation for what could become one of the most intense rivalries in AEW’s near future.
As the storyline develops, fans remain eager to see how Jon Moxley will respond to Darby Allin’s provocations and what impact this conflict will have on the larger AEW narrative heading into Forbidden Door.
