A new member has been added to The Death Riders on AEW Dynamite.

A young, promising AEW star embraced his violent side by joining The Death Riders this week on Dynamite.

Over the past few weeks, Daniel Garcia has been conflicted about the direction of his career, especially after suffering consecutive losses to the aforementioned faction leader, Jon Moxley. The 26-year-old got beaten twice by The Death Rider leader on the August 27th episode of Dynamite and September 6th episode of Collision, making his record against the latter go to 0-4.

As a result, Moxley was consistently going through the head of Garcia by approaching him to join his group and even coaching him in his matches. When the former TNT Champion lost to the former AEW World Champion, he finally snapped by exclaiming, “Maybe being good isn’t enough.”

During the closing moments of this week’s Dynamite, chaos ensued all over the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Out of nowhere, Darby Allin, Moxley’s opponent in the Coffin Match at All Out in Toronto, surfaced to dish out punishment to him.

The Daredevil was talking trash to The Death Rider when he got clobbered from behind by a man wearing a hoodie, who was revealed to be Garcia, much to the shock and disappointment of the Philadelphia crowd. The 26-year-old finally had enough of being a good guy and heeded the call from Moxley, who successfully added another member to The Death Riders.

Check out the massive heel turn below:

Disgusted, the fans in attendance chanted profanities towards Garcia as he completed his heel turn by attacking Allin. They even said Garcia had sold out.

Daniel Garcia Cemented His Place on The Death Riders By Destroying Darby Allin on AEW Dynamite

Initially, Daniel Garcia didn’t stomp Darby Allin’s face into the steel chair as he was deciding whether to fully unleash his brutal side. Marina Shafir encouraged him to do it, and the former TNT Champion proceeded to smash Allin’s face repeatedly into the said object, with the help of The Death Riders’ leader, Jon Moxley.

Moxley further motivated Garcia to put some more punishment on The Daredevil. Decided that it was enough, The Death Rider patted the 26-year-old, and they all left the ring.

Garcia brutalizing Allin will certainly be a huge advantage for Moxley in his upcoming match against the face-painted star. It will be interesting to see if The Daredevil will be 100% going to Toronto after the vicious assault.
