Major AEW name explains why he recently aligned with The Death Riders' star outside the company

The Death Riders are led by former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. This faction, apart from him, consists of Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, Pac, Daniel Garica and Wheeler Yuta. They are one of the most dominant groups in all of wrestling.

Claudio Castagnoli is the reigning CMLL World Heavyweight Champion. He recently defended his title successfully against Ultimo Guerrero at CMLL Dream Match Friday. Interestingly, he was accompanied by All Elite Wrestling star Kevin Knight to the ring.

Knight was in the former Cesaro's corner throughout the title match. The babyface star even celebrated with the heel after he retained his championship. Fans worldwide were baffled to see the two wrestlers together. After all, they have opposite characters and aren't onscreen friends.

The former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion recently explained why he managed the Emissary of Violence in Mexico. He revealed that he was just there to support a fellow AEW star. Furthermore, he urged fans not to ask questions.

Former AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher heaps praise on Kevin Knight

Kyle Fletcher is a member of the Don Callis Family and one of the most talented names in All Elite Wrestling. He showered Kevin Knight with praise in a recent interview with 93.5 Max.

The Protostar said that the 28-year-old's start in the company reminded him of his own.

“I think Kevin is so cool. He’s a special talent. He’s so capable. It feels like he is in the spot that I was in a few years ago. He’s just coming to AEW and part of a great tag team. He’s been given this awesome opportunity and if last week’s anything to go by, he’s gonna take it by the horns and run with it." said Fletcher. [H/T: Sports Illustrated]

Both Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher are capable of becoming world champions someday. Only time will tell what the future holds for them.
