3 New stars Jon Moxley should recruit to The Death Riders in AEW

Jon Moxley has been running roughshod on the AEW roster with his crew, The Death Riders, for some time now. However, it seems that Moxley has been running into some trouble from all angles as new and old threats have come back to haunt him and his group, while also threatening his current reign as world champion.

If The Purveyor of Violence wants to keep his foothold of dominance on top of the mountain in All Elite Wrestling, then he likely needs more help.

Here's a look at three candidates who Jon Moxley can recruit to The Death Riders in 2025:

#3. Former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is a huge threat all by himself and fearless enough to take down anyone in his path. The former AEW World Champion has been on a hiatus since July 2024 as he was filming a second season of the Peacock series, Twisted Metal.

Since Jon Moxley and The Death Riders have been adamant about the destruction of All Elite Wrestling, who better to fulfill this mission than The Destroyer himself? Moxley may reach out to Samoa Joe for help after The Samoan Submission Machine returns to live programming. Joe could agree if the 45-year-old doesn't have the current AEW World Champion on his hit list.

The Samoan Submission Machine could easily run havoc on Moxley's rivals all by himself if needed and might prove to be one of the best recruits for any faction, not just The Death Riders.

#2. Eddie Kingston

If there's one star that Jon Moxley has had the deepest history with in AEW, it's certainly Eddie Kingston. The two have faced each other several times in the past and produced magic during their epic feud in the Jacksonville-based promotion in 2020.

The two later become tag team partners, becoming fan favorites quickly because of their on-screen chemistry. Perhaps, Moxley could consider reigniting their bond. The Death Riders leader could extend an offer to his old friend since he might soon need more allies whom he can trust.

The Mad King can certainly match Moxley's destructive and ruthless energy, so his addition to The Death Riders will be a sensible call.

#1. ''Hangman'' Adam Page

''Hangman'' Adam Page's incredible heel work has made him one of the best characters on television. We've seen the 33-year-old go to extreme lengths to exact revenge on his rivals. What if it's only a matter of time until something flips deep down inside him?

Even though Page has admitted to absolutely despising Moxley in the past and has feuded with the latter several times before, perhaps Jon's mission of destruction may start to make sense to Hangman. If Tony Khan wants to push Page as the top heel of AEW, the creative team may pull the trigger and have him join Jon Moxley and Co.

Later, he could betray Moxley and take over The Death Riders as well as capture the AEW World Championship.
