It's been a year since Jon Moxley started the Death Riders. Since then, he has waged war on the entire company with the goal of taking the promotion to its glory days. However, the method by which he went about achieving this vision didn't sit right with many people and brought the Death Riders a lot of enemies. In the past year, Mox and his crew have feuded with some of the best AEW has to offer. Hence, several stars have also been elevated due to this storyline. Here are three AEW stars Jon Moxley has elevated in the Death Riders' storyline.

#3. Marina Shafir

Marina Shafir formed an alliance with Jon Moxley before the Death Riders came into existence. Despite being the only female member in the group, she doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. In fact, Marina's legitimate MMA background has come in handy for the group on multiple occasions.

She has shown that she isn't afraid to throw down with the men if necessary. This has helped establish her as one of the toughest women on the AEW roster who hasn't won a title in the company.

Marina Shafir probably had the biggest match of her AEW run at Blood & Guts, and she absolutely stole the show with her fearless performance. All this would not have been possible without the Death Riders' storyline.

#2. Kyle O'Reilly

It has been evident that Kyle O'Reilly has all the makings to be a top singles star. However, he always gets pushed into a tag team with Roderick Strong. However, his recent involvement in this feud with Death Riders has shown that he has what it takes to be a top star in the company.

His ultimate masterpiece performance came during the Blood & Guts match this week. Despite being a bloody mess, Kyle showcased a perseverant side of himself that fans have not seen before. He was even able to make Jon Moxley submit to get the win for his team. After such a performance, Tony Khan will be doing AEW a disservice by not pushing Kyle into the World Title picture.

#1. Darby Allin has been elevated by Jon Moxley

Darby Allin has been feuding with Jon Moxley and the Death Riders ever since he returned from climbing Mount Everest. Darby and Moxley have locked up in a couple of brutal matches over the past few weeks.

They competed in a Lights Out Steel Cage Match at Forbidden Door 2025, where Darby's team came out on top. Moxley and Darby locked horns again in a Coffin match at All Out 2025. This time, it was the former World Champion who won. They topped their brutality in an I Quit Match at WrestleDream 2025, where Darby was finally able to defeat Jon Moxley. If that wasn't enough, Darby was on the winning side again at Blood & Guts.

Therefore, if there was one star who has been elevated the most by Moxley due to the Death Riders' storyline, then that is Darby Allin.
