Daniel Garcia Explains His Reasons for Joining Death Riders

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision show featured Daniel Garcia revealing his reasons why he joined the Death Riders.

Following the Death Riders’ victory over Jay Lethal, Adam Priest, & Tommy Billington in a Trios match, “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard confronted Garcia at ringside and demanded to know why he is hanging out with the Death Riders. This led to a frustrated Garcia grabbing a microphone and told Menard he can not take a hit. Garcia stated that he loved Menard and he was like a brother to him but when he was hanging around him, he was a loser because Menard is a loser too. Garcia stated that he now hangs around winners and if he continued to hand around him, which Garcia pointed at Nigel McGuinness at the commentary table, then he would be like a parasite. Garcia then stated that he loves Menard but he needs him to understand.

Nick Wayne Broken Foot Injury Update

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision show also featured an update announcement for Nick Wayne’s broken foot injury.

During the show, The Matriarchy’s Wayne, Mother Wayne, and Kip Sabian were seen backstage in the medical room. Renee Paquette attempted to get a medical update from Wayne on the status of his broken foot injury. This led to Wayne responding stating that he is getting cleared only for the doctor to tell him that he has another six to eight more weeks due to his foot is still swollen. This led to an upset reaction from Wayne who told the doctor that he is an idiot and Mother Wayne and Sabian insulting the doctor over his diagnosis they claimed was wrong. Wayne then got up and limped away followed by the rest of The Matriarchy.

Wayne has been out of action for AEW since this past August due to a broken foot injury.
