Mega AEW Worlds End debut to threaten Jon Moxley and Death Riders' crusade? Exploring potential impact

Jon Moxley and the Death Riders have been running the show in AEW and wreaking havoc. They have not spared anyone in their way, and it looks like they won't stop their reign of terror soon.

With Tony Khan not being around, there is no authority figure to put clamps on them. That has given Moxley even more leverage to do as he pleases, and so does his faction. At AEW Worlds End, Jon Moxley will defend his world title in a four-way match against Orange Cassidy, Hangman Adam Page, and Jay White.

With that going on, a blockbuster debut could shock Moxley and the Death Riders and threaten their rampage. That is none other than Shane McMahon. He has long been rumored to appear in AEW since his picture with Tony Khan went viral.

With Khan absent, McMahon could show up and tease an alliance with Moxley, only to tell him that he was now in charge. It would throw a wrench in the works and be a great start to 2025.

Konnan slams Jon Moxley and the Death Riders

Wrestling veteran Konnan is known for his no-holds-barred approach to giving his opinions on the sport. One of his recent shots came at the expense of Jon Moxley and the Death Riders.

He was speaking on his K100 podcast when he said the faction was underwhelming as they promised a lot and delivered little.

"I've said this a million times, bro, and it's worth repeating one more time, this Death Riders group is very underwhelming because they came and said, 'We're gonna change the company, there's gonna be a revolution.' The company is the same, they're lame, it looks like a very lame group," said Konnan.

That is a very interesting take, given how dominant the Death Riders have been over the last two months. It will be interesting to see how they close out AEW Worlds End and enter the new year.
