Backstage Update on Gabe Kidd’s Return and Plans for AEW All In

Gabe Kidd didn’t just pop up on AEW Dynamite this week for a cameo — he’s officially part of the Death Riders at AEW All In: Texas, and it’s about to get violent.

According to Fightful Select, Kidd was “locked in as the third member of the Death Riders last week” and is “slated to compete at AEW All In”. With PAC still out of action due to injury, AEW needed a heavy-hitter to step in — and the NJPW star is stepping up.

Kidd made his surprise return to AEW on the July 9 episode of Dynamite, aligning himself with Wheeler Yuta by attacking Samoa Joe. Now, it’s official — he’ll join Moxley and Claudio in a trios match against The Opps at All In.

This confirms the earlier report that the trios match would feature a special combination of Death Riders due to PAC’s absence. Kidd brings NJPW grit and chaos to the mix, giving Moxley’s crew a dangerous edge heading into AEW’s biggest weekend of the year.
