The Death Riders (formerly Blackpool Combat Club or BCC) is a villainous professional wrestling stable that performs in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and Ring of Honor (ROH). The stable consists of original member and current leader Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Pac and Marina Shafir. Moxley is the current AEW World Champion in his record-setting fourth reign, while Castagnoli, Yuta and Pac are the current holders of the AEW World Trios Championship in their first reign.
Formed in 2022, the group's original name derived from the town where William Regal—the group's creator and initial manager—began his career. The group was originally a tag team managed by Regal and consisted of Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley, who were later joined by Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Pac. Regal and Danielson subsequently left the stable
The stable's gimmick is their serious and violent approach to professional wrestling, viewing extreme violence as the price of doing business and a rite of passage, frequently outnumbering their opponents, going so far as to stab them with screwdrivers or trying to suffocate them with plastic bags, and frequently spilling blood during their matches.[1]
On November 6, 2024, the stable was officially renamed to Death Riders.[2][3][4]
