Jon Moxley's Death Riders is a group that has been continuously building up its numbers over the past year or so. Could recent developments lead a certain WWE Superstar to leave the group?

Last year, Marina Shafir suddenly aligned herself with Moxley, and this sudden shift caused rifts in the Blackpool Combat Club. Eventually, it was revealed that Claudio Castagnoli and PAC had also joined his side, with Wheeler Yuta following suit later on. Now the group has also brought in Daniel Garcia, and NJPW's Gabe Kidd remains one of their associates.

Shafir has suddenly found herself in a new alliance, as she is stepping in for Penelope Ford as Megan Bayne's tag team partner. In the case that this new duo sees great results, she could decide to commit to being Bayne's partner and move forward from the Death Riders. She may ask for Jon Moxley's permission to do so, and the group would now have one less full-time member.

Mox has always been supportive of his factionmates, and Marina Shafir is one of those he has always shown support for. He could allow this move so she could grow on her own. This would leave no bad blood between them and open the door to her rejoining the group in the future. This could also lead to her eventually convincing Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford to join the Death Riders.

Bryan Danielson recently fired a shot at Jon Moxley

Despite now working as a full-time commentator, Bryan Danielson sometimes lets his old grudges slip, especially when it comes to the Death Riders. This is rightfully so, as the entire group did end up turning on him.

A few days ago on AEW Dynamite, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia were in action against Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin. The latter duo took the victory after Allin made Yuta tap out with the Scorpion Deathlock. Danielson quickly took a jab at his former mentee and Jon Moxley as he claimed that it was Mox who taught him how to tap out.

Moxley has been rattled as of late, with him taking a loss to Darby Allin at WrestleDream and being pushed to the limit in back-to-back matches against Kyle O'Reilly. He has lost his composure, and it doesn't help that the rest of the group has not seen much success as well.
