Daniel Garcia Joins The Death Riders, Attacks Darby Allin On AEW Dynamite

The Death Riders faction has added a surprising and dangerous new member. At the conclusion of the September 10 episode of AEW Dynamite, Daniel Garcia shockingly attacked Darby Allin, aligning himself with Jon Moxley and his villainous group. The turn was a stunning development, as Garcia has been a beloved babyface for over a year and has a long, complicated history with Moxley’s Blackpool Combat Club associates. His decision to join the group marks a major character shift and adds another formidable competitor to the already powerful faction, completely altering the landscape of All Elite Wrestling.

The angle took place after the massive $500,000 10-man tag team main event, which saw The Death Riders and The Young Bucks defeat the team of Brodido and The Opps. Following the match, the heels continued their assault on the babyfaces. Darby Allin, who is scheduled to face Jon Moxley in a Coffin Match at the All Out pay-per-view, ran in to make the save for The Opps, momentarily neutralizing his rival. However, his efforts were cut short when a hooded figure ran in and attacked him. The figure revealed himself to be Daniel Garcia, who then left Allin lying after delivering a brutal curb stomp onto a steel chair, officially siding with his former rivals in the Death Riders.
