Jon Moxley’s 5 ways to lure AEW World Champion Kenny Omega into Death Riders

Jon Moxley eyes Kenny Omega after title win at Dynamite: Beach Break 2026

Jon Moxley is circling AEW World Champion Kenny Omega with a clear target: recruit him into the Death Riders. Omega captured the title on 11 Feb 2026 at Dynamite: Beach Break, ending a 1,698-day wait. The victory capped a dramatic run that saw Omega survive MJF’s challenge before celebrating with allies-and foes-on the following week’s Dynamite.

How Jon Moxley could bring Kenny Omega into Death Riders

1. Stay out of title contention

Omega now wears the black strap AEW World Championship. That belt draws challengers like moths to a flame. Moxley-himself a four-time AEW World Champion-could step aside, forgo his own title ambitions, and promise to stay out of Omega’s path. In return, Omega would gain a proven enforcer in Moxley and a stronger Death Riders unit.

2. Protect Omega’s reign with Death Riders muscle

During Moxley’s 2024-25 reign, the Death Riders acted as an impenetrable shield. Omega faces the same gauntlet of challengers now. Moxley could offer the same protection-using Death Riders to fend off contenders-if Omega joins the faction and cements his title run.

3. Recruit The Young Bucks alongside Omega

Omega’s closest allies, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), were front and center for his title celebration. Yet the duo has stalled in the tag ranks, stuck without a marquee storyline. Moxley could flip them too, pitching a three-way super alliance that lifts Omega’s title defenses and revives the Bucks’ tag-team standing.

4. Rekindle Omega’s Belt Collector persona

Omega’s 2018-19 run as the Belt Collector remains one of his signature eras. Moxley could tap into that nostalgia, framing the Death Riders as a brotherhood that honors legacy while pushing Omega toward fresh heights. It’s a pitch that blends respect with ambition.

5. Leverage Omega’s All In 2026 rivalry with Will Ospreay

Ospreay’s recent alliance with the Death Riders created tension during Omega’s title celebration. Moxley can exploit that friction, positioning himself as the leader who offers Omega a safe harbor away from Ospreay’s influence-while also dangling the chance to settle scores with Ospreay down the line.

What’s next for Jon Moxley and Death Riders

Moxley and Omega met backstage after the title win, setting the stage for talks. If Omega joins, the Death Riders instantly become AEW’s most feared faction. If not, Moxley remains a lurking threat-one with a world title of his own and a stable ready to strike.

The clock is ticking. Omega’s first title defense looms. And Jon Moxley is already sharpening his pitch.
