AEW to recreate Dominik Mysterio-Rhea Ripley storyline with the Death Riders' member? Exploring the possibility!

The Death Riders are one of the biggest draws in AEW at present. The group's current active members are leader Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir.

In terms of impact, longevity, and dominance, we could draw parallels between the Death Riders and WWE's Judgment Day. The latter has been active in the Stamford-based promotion since 2022 and has been constantly evolving.

One of the most compelling reasons why The Judgment Day became successful was the on-screen couple act between Dominik Mysterio and former member Rhea Ripley. If the Jacksonville-based promotion wants to take its top faction to the next level, it could potentially get inspired by the Dom-Rhea couple angle and create a similar storyline using a Death Riders member.

Recently, Wheeler Yuta extended an intriguing offer to former Best Friends stablemate Kris Statlander, suggesting that she should join the Death Riders. Tony Khan could utilize this development and turn them into a power couple, which could add another dynamic to the promotion's strongest faction.

Moreover, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley reached the height of their popularity in WWE after beginning their on-screen relationship as part of the Judgment Day faction. If Tony Khan were to adapt the Mysterio-Ripley storyline using Yuta and Statlander, he could elevate their stardom and create viral moments that could benefit AEW in the long run.

Wheeler Yuta set for major appearance outside AEW

Death Riders member Wheeler Yuta recently made headlines as he is set for a major appearance outside of All Elite Wrestling.
