What is the story about?

The Death Riders had a space to fill since Will Ospreay left the group. That spot is no longer open. The newest member of Jon Moxley’s crew is Kemalito from CMLL.

The news broke as a surprise when the micro luchador was seen with the Death Riders patch on his gear. In the Ospreay storyline, we know the importance of the patch. This relationship must have been cultivated through the various trips of Death Riders members to CMLL and Arena Mexico.

Fans already

put together edits for a Death Riders intro package.

Kemalito wrestled Kemonito in CMLL on Sunday night (Sep. 20, 2026). He broke out pushups in the middle of the match.

Unfortunately, Kemalito ate the loss in his Death Riders debut.

I haven’t found reaction from Moxley yet, but I’d like to think it would be this dance.

Time to move forward with a tag team of Claudio and Kemalito.
