Questions are swirling about Jon Moxley to evict Death Rider after AEW loss, as recent defeats have put the group’s future in doubt. The ongoing struggles followed the Death Riders’ fall from the top after losing the AEW World Trios Championship to The Opps, and a further setback came when the group was defeated by the babyface team during the Anarchy In The Arena match at Double or Nothing.
Jon Moxley, known as the Purveyor of Violence, has not managed to reestablish momentum in recent weeks. Claudio Castagnoli, a central member of the Death Riders famed for his dominance, has also failed to alter the group’s fortunes. Castagnoli now faces a pivotal opportunity for redemption as he prepares for a Fatal Four-Way match at Dynamite’s Fyter Fest 2025, contesting the International Championship against Kenny Omega, Mascara Dorado, and Brody King.
Possible Roster Changes Looming
The stakes for the Death Riders are high. Should Castagnoli be unable to secure a victory in this crucial contest, speculation suggests that Jon Moxley could consider replacing him within the faction. The frontrunner for Castagnoli’s spot is Gabe Kidd, one of the most recent allies of the group. Kidd, a standout from NJPW, has already made notable contributions with key interventions during important matches.
If such a change occurs, it could mean significant adjustments within the Death Riders lineup, with Jon Moxley potentially opting for greater reliability and momentum by injecting new talent like Kidd, potentially at the expense of a former WWE Superstar.
Mark Briscoe Issues a Warning Ahead of Showdown
Meanwhile, tensions are building toward another major contest. The reigning AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, is set to clash with Mark Briscoe on the upcoming episode of Dynamite. Prior to the showdown, Briscoe has issued a direct and personal warning to both Moxley and the Death Rider camp.
“Moxley you can try to take the easy way out all you want but I’m gonna do it like a man, and Wednesday night I’m gonna have the wife line the kids up one by one in front of the TV, they’re gonna watch daddy whoop a man’s a**, you understand what I’m saying? So, get ready to man up!”
—Mark Briscoe
This message heightens the anticipation and raises the emotional stakes for the upcoming bout, leaving fans eager to see whether Moxley can withstand Briscoe’s challenge in front of his family.
The Road Ahead for Jon Moxley and the Death Riders
With both the international title match and the personal confrontation against Briscoe ahead, Fyter Fest 2025 could mark a turning point for the Death Riders. A potential exit for Claudio Castagnoli and the arrival of Gabe Kidd would signal a significant evolution within the group. As Jon Moxley faces pressure both within his faction and from external challengers, the next chapter may redefine not only his leadership but the trajectory of the entire AEW landscape.
