#3. Jon Moxley could get kicked out of the Death Riders

Jon Moxley has been the undisputed leader of the Death Riders ever since the group was formed last year. Initially, it seemed he would live up to his word and bring AEW back to its glory days. Things were going well for Mox's crew. He was the World Champion, and they even held the World Trios Titles.

However, in recent months, Moxley has been unable to win when it mattered the most. At All In: Texas, he was unable to defeat 'Hangman' Adam Page and retain his World Championship despite having the Death Riders in his corner. He even got a rematch for the title a few weeks later and lost again.

His plan to bring Kris Statlander into the group backfired tremendously, which could be perceived as another failure by his stablemates. Although Mox was successful in defeating Darby Allin at All Out 2025, he wouldn't have been able to do it without the Death Riders. To make things worse, Moxley was unable to defeat Allin at WrestleDream when it mattered most.

Therefore, the group could re-evaluate Mox's role as their leader and decide that they are better off without him. They could turn on him on Dynamite and officially kick him out of the group. This could also help him take some much-needed time off from the ring.


#2. Jon Moxley could turn babyface

Jon Moxley has been a constant feature on AEW TV over the past few years. Hence, he hasn't had any proper time off. Therefore, after this loss to Darby Allin at WrestleDream 2025, Death Riders could turn on him. He could then take some time away from the ring.

When he returns, Mox could turn babyface and begin feuding against his former stablemates. This is the best course of action for the former World Champion, as his character is starting to become a bit stale. Time off could help breathe some fresh air into his gimmick.


#1. Jon Moxley could continue his feud with Darby Allin

Jon Moxley is known for being a stubborn person. Therefore, he will find it hard to believe he lost an "I Quit" match to someone like Darby Allin. Hence, he could continue his feud with the former TNT Champion.

Both men have competed in two singles matches this year and are tied at 1-1. Additionally, Sting also got involved in the match. Therefore, The Purveyor of Violence could try to go after The Icon next, which will lead Allin to intervene and help his mentor. Therefore, these two men could agree to meet one more time in the middle of the ring.

It will be interesting to see what's next for Jon Moxley after his loss at AEW WrestleDream 2025.
