Jon Moxley could have a plan up his sleeve in the case that he gets dethroned next month at All In: Texas. He could have a member of the Death Riders become the AEW World Champion at the show. How would this be possible?
Last year at All In, the promotion held a Casino Gauntlet Match, where the winner would receive a world title match contract that they could use at any time. 12 men entered the contest, and Christian Cage end up winning with an assist from Killswitch (FKA Luchasaurus).
This year, Tony Khan could include this match at the show. The Death Riders could look to cover all bases by inserting some of their members in the match. They could put Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta in to increase their chances. This could be their backup plan should things go south for them later in the night, and having someone like Claudio with the contract would be great for them.
In the case that Jon Moxley gets dethroned by 'Hangman' Adam Page, Castagnoli could use the contract and pin Hangman to keep the world title within the faction. As Mox's right-hand man, he would likely receive approval, as he shared the same ideals as Mox. This will be the case unless a potential swerve could take place.

Jon Moxley executed a wicked plot on 'Hangman' Adam Page at Summer Blockbuster
A few days ago at AEW Summer Blockbuster, the Death Riders made their first move on 'Hangman' Adam Page. They did so by jumping him backstage and tying him up.
To start the show, Jon Moxley was seen telling his comrades to stalk Page as he entered the arena. Off-camera, it seems they were successful, as later in the night, during his scheduled segment, Hangman was all tied up and had tape on his mouth as the group dragged him to the ring. Mox took the chance to talk to him ahead of their match at All In: Texas.
They showed signs of wanting to dish out further harm to him, as they brought out steel chairs. But this was thwarted as The Opps came out and sent them running.
Jon Moxley has made the first major move in this feud, and he looks to assert his dominance before the pay-per-view. But knowing Hangman, he could look to get back at him and shift the momentum in his favor.
