AEW star Jon Moxley lost to his loyal soldier Claudio Castagnoli in the Continental Classic tournament tonight. The Death Riders have been together for over a year. However, fans believe they will soon split up. The former AEW World Champion has failed to win major matches in his recent bouts. Rumors suggest that the faction might soon evict him. It seems like things have started to fall apart after tonight.

The bloodied One True King was shocked that he had lost to his faction member and nodded in disbelief in the ringside area while Marina Shafir consoled him. Interestingly, the Swiss Superman dominated his leader throughout the entire match. Currently, Claudio Castagnoli has won both of his matches in the tournament, while Jon Moxley has picked victory in just one.

The former AEW World Champion has a major chance to redeem himself this week. On Collision, he will go against another blockbuster competitor of the Blue League, Konosuke Takeshita. The IWGP World Heavyweight Champion defeated Roderick Strong last week. Fans are excited to see who will emerge victorious when The Alpha and Ace collide this Saturday.

The One True King led The Blackpool Combat Club until last year and is now leading the Death Riders. The former AEW World Champion rarely lost to any star, and therefore, he was known as a leader. However, with the recent losses, The American Dragon questioned Moxley's credibility as a superior.

Just moments after Jon's loss to Claudio, Bryan pointed out that no one in The Blackpool Combat Club could defeat The Ace, and so, the latter was appointed as leader. He indirectly suggested that the Swiss Superman's victory over Jon might change things.

"When we were in the Blackpool Combat Club together, I was never able to defeat Jon Moxley, that's why we saw him as the leader. Claudio Castagnoli has just defeated Jon Moxley!" he said.

It will be interesting to see what the future of the Death Riders.
