AEW could have an emotional storyline arc for Wheeler Yuta after All Out betrayal, hopes ex-WWE star

At the All Out pay-per-view, AEW's beloved faction, the Blackpool Combat Club met a tragic ending. After AEW World Champion, Bryan Danielson, retained his title against Jack Perry, Jon Moxley brutally attacked him. Furthermore, this segment drew heavy criticism from veterans for its vicious nature.

When the erstwhile 'Lunatic Fringe' was choking the leader of the "Yes!" movement with a plastic bag, Wheeler Yuta appeared immensely empathetic towards his mentor. The former ROH Pure Champion even tried to intervene, but PAC didn't allow him to. After the segment's conclusion, Danielson was escorted backstage by All Elite Wrestling medical staff and Yuta. It isn't known if he is still a part of Moxley's group, however, according to Matthew Rehwoldt (fka Aiden English), the promotion has the opportunity to showcase an emotional and compelling story where the 27-year-old will have to make crucial decisions.

"This could be such a good, emotional character arc for Yuta. It could be, those guys trying to manipulate him and be like 'Time for you to toughen up.' Or like 'Time to pass the final test'. It is a very classic, film-television kinda tale. Or you can like cry and moan and run back to your mentor kind of thing and 'What's he gonna do?' But that can be a really good little arc for Yuta to start standing out. I am excited to see that," said Rehwoldt. [From 35:04 to 35:40]

Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and PAC currently hold the AEW World Trios Championship. Hence, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for everyone involved.
