AEW star Jon Moxley defied the odds when he conquered everyone to capture the Continental Championship at Worlds End. Fans who initially despised the One True King during the start of the Continental Classic tournament were surprised to find themselves cheering for him as he emerged victorious.
However, many are now waiting to see when the Death Riders will betray their leader. After the former AEW World Champion suffered multiple losses, speculation grew that the faction might turn on him. There was also talk that the Death Riders might take down the One True King out of jealousy following Worlds End. Despite these theories, tensions within the group remain calm.
Speaking on Self Made Pro, it was reported that AEW isn’t planning the conventional storyline fans expect — with the Death Riders betraying and destroying Jon Moxley. According to the report, “There are increasing voices in AEW that believe Jon Moxley is not planning that kind of conventional stable break-up. It’s unconfirmed on the AEW creative side, but voices within the promotion suggest it’s not going to play out the way fans expect, where they turn heel on Jon and take him out.”
### Tony Khan Praises Jon Moxley’s Resilience
The Purveyor of Violence has experienced multiple ups and downs in 2025. While he held the world championship during the first half of the year, he faced numerous defeats in the latter half.
During an appearance on The Takedown, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Moxley’s condition earlier this year. He revealed that Jon wasn’t fully healthy at the start but continued wrestling and improved over time. “Jon was pretty hurt at the start of the year. He was banged up, and he worked his way back in without ever taking time off. He’s been here all year, and he actually got healthier wrestling every week. The man’s a marvel,” Khan said.
It will be interesting to see how long Jon Moxley can hold onto the Continental Championship amid ongoing storyline developments. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely as the situation with the Death Riders unfolds.
