AEW faction conflict involving The Cut

Overview

A violent rivalry has emerged in AEW between a new faction known as The Cut, led by Jay White and David Finlay, and the Death Riders, a group including Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd, and Daniel Garcia.

The conflict began with the debut of The Cut, during which members engaged in multiple skirmishes, including a post-match brawl that left Claudio Castagnoli requiring medical attention after being attacked with a shillelagh. David Finlay later stated that the alliance between himself and White is a pursuit of success through violence, claiming, “What hope denied us, violence will deliver.”

The tension escalated during an AEW Collision broadcast when The Cut ambushed the Death Riders following a victory by Shane Taylor Promotions. The segment also involved AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné, who confronted Moxley before joining the fray by delivering a kick to his head.

This series of confrontations has resulted in a scheduled Anarchy in the Arena match between The Cut and the Death Riders at the Full Gear event. However, the Death Riders face a numbers disadvantage, as Claudio Castagnoli has been ruled medically unfit to compete. While attending the League of Legends World Championships, Castagnoli confirmed he is not currently medically cleared for wrestling.
