It wasn’t a matter of if, but when, for the Death Riders.
The when arrived Wednesday on Dynamite in one of the largest collective turns in wrestling history.
The Death Riders have been in a weird spot since “Hangman” Adam Page defeated Jon Moxley in the main event of All In Texas in the summer of 2025. The AEW audience has been mostly cheering Moxley since he cut a fabulous babyface promo after winning the Continental championship in December.
They didn’t stop the rest of the faction from acting and being treated like heels, even if they sort of endeared themselves to the audience while helping Will Ospreay on his quest this year to be AEW World champion.
