The Death Riders are one of the most dominant units in AEW, who are known to wreak havoc all over the roster. Following a recent announcement, one of its members will seek to extend that dominance beyond the Jacksonville-based promotion.
The aforementioned star, who is one of Jon Moxley's trusted soldiers, is Wheeler Yuta. The rising star has been a captivating attraction and an integral part of The Death Riders for a long time.
In a recent announcement by Power Pro Lucha on X/Twitter, the promotion announced the arrival of the AEW star for their show inside the Arlen Specter US Squash Center on July 19. The wrestling company also added that Yuta will be in action that night, although no details about his opponent were shared.

WWE legend claimed AEW star will not be a better world champion than the Death Riders leader
The Death Riders are led by the unhinged Jon Moxley. The Purveyor of Violence captured the AEW World Championship with the use of his force at the 2024 WrestleDream event from Bryan Danielson.
He is next set to defend his title against "Hangman" Adam Page at All In Texas 2025. Despite being a former champion himself, wrestling veteran Jim Cornette did not believe in Page's potential as champion and called him even worse than Moxley.
"I think that Page may be the only person that [sic] would be worse than Moxley as the champion right now because then it just delays Ospreay. And I don't know if they ever get Swerve back or not where he was, where he ought to have it, but Page is just so bleh. We've seen it, it ain't gonna change, ain't gonna get any better."
Despite Cornette's comments, The Millennial Cowboy will be in his home state of Texas at All In. So it will be interesting to see if he can prove everyone wrong and become the new world champion.
