The Death Riders are a faction in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) led by Jon Moxley, which has become a prominent part of AEW programming, and their actions have generated a lot of discussion among fans.
The group’s actions often reflect Moxley’s intense and unpredictable style. The Death Riders have been involved in various feuds with top stars.
The Death Riders have generated a mixed reaction from fans, with some fans supporting the act and others expressing confusion or criticism regarding their storylines. In a Sports Illustrated interview with Jon Alba, Adam Copeland promoted AEW Revolution and discussed his feud with Jon Moxley and the Death Riders.
The Death Riders storyline has faced significant fan criticism. The reason for that is due to its perceived lack of direction, is hoped to conclude at Revolution with Copeland defeating Moxley for the AEW World Heavyweight Title.
“Well, for me, it was just confusing at first. Like, I didn’t fully understand what was happening. So I wanted to try and figure that out along with the audience, I think, and then go ‘Alright, what can be the story here?
The story can be you take them out, because it’s always the numbers that they have the advantage with. Okay, let’s do something about that. Let’s tell a story there.’ And more than anything, the beginning of the thing is, ‘Okay, you attacked all of my friends on television, right? Okay. So, yeah, I’m coming back. Time to step in and give this a shot.”
“Anything I’m involved in, I try to at least add some layers to it. And when putting the things together, going, ‘Okay, here’s the package for the match.’ You got to build in beats for that package to sum everything up, so if you watch that two minutes right before the match, you’re caught up. You got it, and know, ‘Alright, and now I’m looking forward to this thing.’
I think more than anything, that’s my mentality, is just trying to craft something or be a part of helping craft something where you get those beats, those tentpoles throughout that you can just insert in a package and get everybody caught up, before, you know, they watch the actual match. But still, that to me is what hooks me.”
This Sunday, the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, will host the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event.
