The Death Riders, led by Jon Moxley, is currently on a mission to restore AEW’s glory. However, wrestling veteran Konnan recently noted that he does not care about Moxley’s faction due to its booking.
Jon Moxley formed The Death Riders with PAC, Marina Shafir, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta. The group has been causing havoc in AEW and has helped Moxley get to the top of the promotion by becoming World Champion at the WrestleDream pay-per-view.
In the recent edition of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Wrestling veteran Konnan revealed that he has no interest in The Death Riders. He mentioned that Jon Moxley might potentially be booking the angle but said he isn’t invested in the storyline.
“I’m absolutely not interested, they’ve done nothing to interest me. They don’t come off as intimidating or interesting. Whoever is writing this, if it’s [Jon] Moxley, that’s good because you’re getting a lot of TV at the beginning and you look cool. But, I’m not invested in this at all.” [From 10:00 to 10:20]
Jon Moxley shares his vision for AEW
Jon Moxley has been working on changing All Elite Wrestling for the past few months. However, he has faced many obstacles, including Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy, who have tried to bring him down.
In a recent interview with CBS Sports, Jon Moxley revealed that his vision for All Elite Wrestling was that every star would find success. He slammed the previous state of the promotion, in which no star took responsibility for their actions.
“I had a vision. A vision of a future. A vision that could be ours. That it could belong to everybody. A vision of a world where everyone can be successful […] One thing I found challenging in the previous iteration of AEW was, I found it challenging to find anyone who would take responsibility for anything. ‘It’s not my fault’ was a thing that would be heard bouncing around the hallways of AEW quite ubiquitously,” he said.
