Tony Khan made a surprising announcement just before AEW Collision, revealing that the Death Riders will be making an appearance on tonight’s show. This comes after the faction suffered a defeat at Blood and Guts, where Jon Moxley tapped out to Kyle O’Reilly, resulting in a significant win for the Conglomeration and Darby.
In a livestream on X/Twitter, Khan shared that the Death Riders caused chaos backstage before the show, demanding a match on Collision. As a result, a trios match has been scheduled with PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia facing off against Adam Priest, Jay Lethal, and Tommy Billington.
Khan described the intense atmosphere backstage, particularly noting Jon Moxley’s heightened emotions following the events at Blood and Guts. Moxley, who will also be present at Collision, was described as the most furious member of the Death Riders.
On a positive note, AEW Dynamite saw a boost in ratings this week, with an average of 600,000 viewers tuning in. The show’s key demographic rating doubled that of NXT’s for the week. However, despite the overall success of the company, the focus remains on the unpredictable actions of the Death Riders on Collision tonight.
It remains to be seen what chaos the Death Riders will bring to the show and how it will impact the ongoing tension within the faction. Stay tuned for more updates as the drama unfolds.
