The Death Riders is a top dominant heel faction in AEW. However, to the surprise of many, one of the stablemates shockingly claimed that he hated a top star of the company.
Death Riders member Wheeler Yuta was referring to his former close associate "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy. On an edition of the Something for Everybody podcast, Wheeler Yuta first proclaimed Cassidy as the quiet leader in the company.
However, he quickly went into character and claimed that he hated him, instead labeling his leader, Jon Moxley, as the man who is leading the company by example.
"He’s a quiet leader that everyone looks up to and respects. Not me, obviously, I hate him. Scr*w that guy. Go Death Riders. Another one, obviously I’m biased, but Jon Moxley really does try to lead by example and he’s really tried to build the culture at AEW into something we can be proud of."
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
Moreover, Yuta spoke about how the Death Riders storyline has pushed everyone to become the best versions of themselves.
“We talk about our storyline and the Death Riders and how we want to build the company up into everyone being the best versions of themselves. The way we’re doing it is by beating people down and seeing what we can bring out of them that way.” [H/T TJR Wrestling]
