Claudio Castagnoli says Death Riders not actively recruiting new members

Claudio Castagnoli explained that AEW's Death Riders faction is not actively seeking new talent. He shared this insight during an interview on June 28, 2026, while maintaining that the possibility for new members remains open. The Death Riders, originally formed as the Blackpool Combat Club in early 2022, have seen several changes in their lineup over the years. Currently, they focus on developing existing talents like Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia, rather than scouting for newcomers. The group most recently collaborated with Will Ospreay following a feud, though Ospreay is not expected to join as a full-time member.
