Death Riders In Chaos, AEW Star Walks Out On Jon Moxley
Jon Moxley will be alone at AEW Revolution.
After setting his sights on Jon Moxley and the AEW World Championship, Cope vowed to pick the Death Riders apart.
On the February 22 edition of Collision, the veteran began by taking out PAC with a Con-Chair-To and continued the fight days later on Dynamite. During a wild brawl, Wheeler Yuta accidentally hit a running knee on Marina Shafir, which allowed Cope to deliver a Con-Chair-To to Claudio Castagnoli. He was about to do the same to a prone Shafir, but Willow Nightingale ran in to do it herself.
After Castagnoli and Shafir left in an ambulance, only Yuta and Moxley were left standing. As a result, on the March 1 episode of Collision, Moxley set Yuta a challenge to make sure Cope didn’t leave the upcoming edition of Dynamite on his own two feet.

However, that’s not quite how everything played out.
After a competitive back-and-forth encounter, Cope pinned Yuta before addressing him on the microphone. Cope shook Yuta’s hand and told him that this is what respect looks like before making his exit.
This brought out a frantic Moxley, who ranted and yelled at his young charge before Yuta shoved him in the face and left.
Once backstage, Moxley said Cope had got what he wanted, and that was him all alone at Revolution, but he warned that it’ll change nothing come the big night.
Elsewhere on the show, MJF tried to set Hangman Adam Page on fire as their rivalry hit a terrifying new high (or low). Thankfully for Page, MJF was thwarted by a raft of referees and security guards, but it’s clear he’ll stop at nothing to take Hangman out of action.
It had already been announced that the violent rivalry would come to a head at Revolution.
