Jon Moxley has held the AEW World Championship since winning it at the 2024 WrestleDream pay-per-view. While he has overcome several challenges, many fans believe Darby Allin will be the one to dethrone him when he returns, as he was taken out by The Death Riders.

Allin recently climbed Mount Everest successfully, and it seems he will take time before returning to in-ring action. That said, here are the three AEW stars who could dethrone Moxley instead of The Daredevil:

#3. "Hangman" Adam Page

Many fans want Adam Page to win the gold once again. He came close to capturing the title last year when he reached the final of the Owen Hart Cup, but he ultimately lost to Bryan Danielson.

This Sunday at Double or Nothing 2025, Adam Page will compete in the final of the 2025 Owen Hart Cup. If he wins the tournament, Page will challenge the AEW World Champion at All In Texas 2025. Hence, he will have an opportunity to dethrone Moxley in Texas.

#2. Eddie Kingston has a lot of history with Jon Moxley

Eddie Kingston has been a trusted ally of Jon Moxley for the past few years in AEW, and they have always had each other's backs. However, Kingston, being a babyface, would never agree with the idea of Moxley and The Death Riders taking over the company for their benefit.

While Eddie Kingston has been out of action since May last year due to an injury, fans are hoping to see him back sooner rather than later. When The Mad King is fit to return, he could go right after Moxley and be the one to eventually take the world title from him, considering their storied history.


#1. Will Ospreay

Will Ospreay has been one of the most beloved babyfaces on the AEW roster for more than a year. However, The Aerial Assassin winning the World Title has been long overdue. At Double or Nothing on Sunday, Ospreay will square off against "Hangman" Page in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament.

Will Ospreay is a favorite to win the Owen Hart Cup this year. If Ospreay manages to win on Sunday, he will challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at All In Texas 2025. Considering his booking until now, Ospreay could be the one to dethrone Moxley at All In.

While Darby Allin could return anytime and go on to dethrone Jon Moxley, the aforementioned names are the best possible options to take the World Title from Moxley.
