The Death Riders have become one of the most tormenting units in AEW. Following their assault on a top star, one of the faction members issued a huge statement.
The faction member who orchestrated the aforementioned attack was Claudio Castagnoli. At the end of last week's Dynamite, The Opps (Samoa Joe and HOOK) defeated Castagnoli's team and his partner, Wheeler Yuta. Following the bout, the entire Death Riders faction came out to lay a beatdown on The Opps and escaped as Samoa Joe rose back to his feet.
Samoa Joe did not take the attack too kindly and laid out a challenge to The Death Riders. On behalf of his Opps members, Katysuri Shibata and HOOK, Joe challenged Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Wheeler Yuta for the World Trios Championships, putting them in trouble.

Former WWE star believes AEW should move on from The Death Riders
The Death Riders faction, under the leadership of Jon Moxley, has become a dominant force of nature in All Elite Wrestling.
However, WWE legend Matt Hardy stated on his podcast that Tony Khan and his regime should move on from the storyline and try something different that has the potential to become extremely popular.
"But I think we're at one of those points where it is time to move on and segway to whatever the next top story is going to be in AEW. [...] I think it's time to go a different direction and try something new that could possibly catch fire. AEW really needs some thing to get hot and catch fire to get their momentum back."
However, considering their weekly schedule and major presence on television each week, All Elite Wrestling would likely be pushing the stable further. So, it remains to be seen if the company will disband the faction and explore a different direction in the future.
