Jon Moxley Surprises Fans At Indy Show With AEW Partner
Jon Moxley led the Death Riders into Bloodsport XII.
At Full Gear, Jon Moxley retained the AEW World Championship with a victory over Orange Cassidy in a match punctuated by violence and all-out chaos.
In the match’s final stages, Castagnoli and PAC looked to get involved after arriving through the crowd, only to be thwarted by Tomohiro Ishii, Kyle O’Reilly & Rocky Romero. With the referee distracted, Marina Shafir looked to hit Cassidy with a briefcase but the returning Willow Nightingale tackled her.
Although Cassidy followed up and almost grabbed the win, he was eventually pinned following an intervention from Wheeler Yuta.
Even as the group escaped backstage, their truck was smashed to pieces by Darby Allin deliberately crashing his own car.

Off the back of that victory, Moxley headed to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XII to back up Marina Shafir who was scheduled to take on Jody Threat.
It turned out to be another good night for the Death Riders as Shafir grabbed the win after locking in Mother’s Milk, before celebrating with Moxley in the ring.
Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that Jon Moxley’s emissary to NJPW will be Claudio Castagnoli.
During NJPW Fighting Struggle Unleashed, Moxley sent a warning to Shota Umino, warning that his disciple was going down a dark path. As a result, he said he would be sending an emissary to deal with him.
Another video played at night five of the NJPW World Tag League at Korakuen Hall, this time it was from Castagnoli who said he’d be facing Umino at Wrestle Dynasty. 24 hours earlier Umino will challenge Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 19.
