Former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley has been one of the biggest stars in the company since he joined back in 2019. The leader of The Death Riders has been the AEW World Champion a record 4 times, with his most recent reign being ended by "Hangman" Adam Page at All Out 2025.

Moxley and Co. have been wreaking havoc in AEW for a year, and they recently added Daniel Garcia to their ranks. Following her Women's World Title win at All Out, it seemed that Kris Statlander would be the next to join Moxley's group, but it didn't turn out to be the case, as The Galaxy's Greatest Alien rejected the offer this past Wednesday on Dynamite.

A Mixed Tornado Tag Team Match has been announced for next week's Dynamite, with Statlander and Darby Allin set to team up to take on Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir. Both Statlander and Shafir responded to the match being made official via their X accounts, with Kris giving Moxley a new name in the process.

"We’ll see how you [Marina Shafir] feel next week when stat daddy makes you go crying to mommy Mox," she wrote.

AEW Women's World Champion rejects Jon Moxley's Death Riders

For weeks, it seemed like Kris Statlander would become a new member of Jon Moxley's group. The 30-year-old had been dropping hints that she would become the second female member of the faction, only for it to be a huge ruse. She defended her Women's World Championship in the main event of this week's Dynamite.

Following her successful defense, The Death Riders members came out to congratulate her and welcome her to their team. Wheeler Yuta hugged Statlander to welcome her, but she ended up attacking him and flipping off Moxley before running into the crowd. The Purveyor of Violence was then confronted by Darby Allin, who challenged his bitter rival to an "I Quit" Match at WrestleDream.

The challenge was later accepted by the erstwhile Dean Ambrose via exclusive footage shared by All Elite Wrestling on its X handle.
