Jon Moxley faces alliance of top AEW stars as tensions escalate following a main event confrontation at Grand Slam: Mexico, where unlikely partnerships emerge against the Death Riders. With rivalries intense and lines being crossed, the threat posed by Moxley and his team unites adversaries in a bid for control.
Hostility Forces Enemies to Cooperate
Recently, AEW has hinted that Jon Moxley’s antagonistic presence is fueling the creation of new alliances. Shared animosity toward the Death Riders has made former enemies consider collaboration, something rarely seen with athletes like Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. Despite deep-seated differences, their overlapping interests are difficult to ignore, especially as Will Ospreay encourages them to join forces.
Intense Main Event Shakes Up Alliances
During the Grand Slam: Mexico event, the night’s climax featured the Death Riders, with the Young Bucks, facing off against The Opps, Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland. In a dramatic finish, Jon Moxley clinched victory for his faction. However, the match’s conclusion did not quell the tension—instead, Moxley and the Bucks targeted Swerve Strickland, escalating hostility by applying a Bulldog Choke and drawing outrage from the crowd.
Hangman Page Intervenes Amid Chaos
As the beatdown on Swerve intensified, Hangman Adam Page emerged, locking eyes with Jon Moxley before clashing with him in the ring. Their confrontation sparked a shift in momentum, as Hangman, with support from allied faces, managed to repel the Death Riders and the Bucks, ultimately forcing their retreat. This moment marked a potential turning point in the ongoing power struggle.
Uncertainty Lingers Over Newfound Partnership
The ongoing situation reflects a broader movement within the AEW locker room, where various competitors consider banding together to confront the combined might of the Death Riders and the Young Bucks. While it is not yet certain if Hangman and Swerve will formally unite, the threat posed by Jon Moxley’s dominance continues to push these competitors toward cooperation, promising further dramatic confrontations as the battle lines continue to shift.
