On this week's AEW Dynamite, The Death Riders' Claudio Castagnoli locked horns with The Opps' Powerhouse Hobbs. The Opps consist of Samoa Joe, HOOK, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata. The faction currently holds the World Trios Championship.

In the above match, Castagnoli defeated Hobbs after The Death Riders' PAC interfered and distracted the former TNT Champion. After the pinfall, Samoa Joe showed up to even the odds. However, more members from Jon Moxley's faction showed up and attacked Hobbs and Joe.

Thankfully, AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page came to Joe and Hobbs' aid. The trio managed to fend off Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia. On next week's Dynamite, Moxley, Castagnoli, and Garcia will lock horns with Page, Hobbs, and Joe in a Trios match. Interestingly, The Samoan Submission Machine might turn heel during this showdown.

Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

During Moxley, Castagnoli, and Garcia vs. Page, Hobbs, and Joe, Samoa Joe might attack his own teammate, Hangman, and cause them to lose against The Death Riders. It's been a long time since the veteran has held singles gold in the company, and he will most definitely want to become AEW World Champion again.

After his potential heel turn, Joe might challenge The Anxious Millennial Cowboy to a title match at WrestleDream. If this bout is made official, it will certainly be a show stealer. However, this is speculative at this point.
