With the Death Riders on the verge of a major shift in leadership, it could be that AEW Worlds End 2025 sees a new member join their ranks

Whether or not Jon Moxley ends up ousted from the group remains to be seen, but there could still be at least one new brand new member joining the faction at AEW’s final PPV of 2025.

Here are six AEW stars that could potentially be set to join the Death Riders at Worlds End 2025.

6. Jay White

With some theories floating about that Jon Moxley’s time leading the Death Riders could be coming to a close, he could potentially be replaced by another big name like Jay White.

Potentially returning to action in the near future, it could be that when “Switchblade” does emerge again he will have a sharp new edge.

Bringing in a new era of the Death Riders, Jay White could find himself abandoning the Bang Bang Gang for a much more serious crew of violence.

Bringing together an unholy alliance between himself and PAC, there could be a brand new, terrifying force running the Death Riders in AEW.

5. David Finlay

There could be a brand new debut joining AEW at Worlds End in Bullet Club War Dogs leader David Finlay.

A new import from NJPW, David Finlay could make a major splash at AEW Worlds End by immediately aligning himself with the Death Riders to wreak havoc.

The former two-time IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion could become a serious new force in the group, even if he doesn’t end up falling into a leadership role.

Possibly moving forward to grow in acclaim in AEW, Finlay could be poised for a shift towards AEW singles gold.

One unfortunate side effect of Chris Jericho’s AEW absence action for much of 2025 was the sudden end to the Learning Tree faction.

While Bryan Keith has continued to appear in AEW action alongside former Learning Tree stablemate Big Bill, he could benefit from a reboot in the Death Riders to establish himself as a frightening force.

Since Big Bill could certainly go his own way, Keith could benefit from linking up to the latest iteration of the Death Riders as he serves as a solid tag team partner or stands alone as a singles star in the making.

Potentially becoming the character that slowly turns babyface and defects from the group, joining the Death Riders now could send a babyface version of “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith to the moon in the future.

3. Gabe Kidd

AEW's Death Riders

Another potential candidate to join the Death Riders from NJPW may be a man who has already appeared alongside them several times: Gabe Kidd.

Potentially swooping in as the newest member in the event Moxley ends up ousted, there could be a highly fascinating future feud ahead for Kidd if he joins both the Death Riders and AEW officially.

With Eddie Kingston’s complex injury that led to over a year out of action occurring during a NJPW match against Kidd, it could be that there is a future showdown brewing.

Able to stand alone as a frightening force should he choose to arrive in AEW, Gabe Kidd could certainly end up being even more menacing as a part of a new look Death Riders.

2. MJF

AEW's MJF on Dynamite Dec 17

Returning to throw his hat into the ring to join the major main event at AEW Worlds End, MJF is set for a steep hill to climb at the event.

Facing off against Samoa Joe, Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship, MJF could perhaps be looking for a secret advantage.

Able to utilize assistance from anywhere to get to his goals, MJF could potentially make a deal with the Death Riders in order to secure his AEW World Championship victory.

Possibly having pledged a future title shot to Claudio or PAC (in the likely event Moxley is ousted from the squad soon), there could be a compelling match that comes from this partnership.

1. Kevin Knight

While it would require a shocking heel turn, it could be that Kevin Knight finds himself aligning with the Death Riders soon.

Interestingly popping up in support of Claudio Castagnoli in CMLL, Kevin Knight could find himself as the newest member of the Death Riders soon.

In support of the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion who retained his title at Arena Mexico in a match against Ultimo Guerrero— Claudio continues to be on a winning streak.

Possibly a tease of things to come, it could be that Kevin Knight is poised to turn on his JetSpeed tag team partner Speedball Mike Bailey in the near future, putting Speedball in the crosshairs of the Death Riders.
