Jay White Issues Challenge to Death Riders for Brisbane Brawl Tag Match for AEW Grand Slam Australia

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show at the Gateway Center Arena at College Park in College Park, Georgia featured one new potential match for the card of AEW Collision Grand Slam Australia.

This new potential match is a Brisbane Brawl Tag Team match of Jay White & Cope vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli & Jon Moxley).

This potential match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over the bad blood issues between White & Rated FTR and the Death Riders. During tonight’s show, Renee Paquette gave an interview to White in the parking lot and White talked about his recent partnership with Cope and FTR and started to address his issues with Death Riders. This led to the Death Riders walking out and Rated FTR following right behind them. This led to a big brawl breaking out that spilled into the venue and at ringside that ended with Death Riders scrambling away through the crowd for safety. Cope then grabbed a microphone and demanded Moxley give him an answer about his challenge for the AEW World title at Revolution 2025. Moxley grabbed a microphone and rejected Cope’s challenge and proceeded to walk away. This led to an angry White responding on the microphone and issued a challenge of his own of him and Cope against Moxley and Castagnoli in a Brisbane Brawl Tag Team match at Grand Slam Australia.
