It’s not a Cincinnati street fight unless Jon Moxley bleeds. That he did while leading the Death Riders to victory in the main event of AEW Collision (June 13, 2026). This match was bonkers.
The action started outside as Shane Taylor Promotions ambushed the Death Riders on their entrance for the 10-person street fight. Teams were Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Daniel Garcia, and Marina Shafir against Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo, and Trish Adora.
Moxley was busted open early from a brass knuckles punch by Taylor.
STP were in firm control. That was until Claudio was unleashed. He had a rough start in the parking lot when STP buried him with steel barricades piled over his body. After Moxley ate those knucks, Claudio stormed on the scene in the ring as only he can. On a tease for a big swing to Taylor, Adora stepped up in Claudio’s face to chop the man repeatedly. Shafir stepped in to kick Adora, and the Afro-Punk went for a ride on the big swing. The swing came to an abrupt stop with a dropkick from Shafir.
STP regrouped to regain control. As they yapped to the camera, Claudio snatched Dean in the background for a powerbomb through a table.
The action got nuttier from there. Moriarty jumped on Claudio’s back for an octopus stretch. Claudio marched up the steps to slam Moriarty through the timekeeper table.
The Infantry had Garcia in their crosshairs for a double curb stomp onto a chair. Garcia was busted open, either from that maneuver or the brass knuckles punch from Bravo to set that up.
Moxley roared back in action to break the pin on Garcia. He ran wild with a double DDT to the Infantry. Taylor got the upper hand, and the Infantry joined him for a triple powerbomb to Moxley through a table. They celebrated with a healthy dose of middle fingers.
The craziest spot came from Shafir. She was surrounded by STP. Shafir didn’t back down, but the numbers were too much. STP stripped her of boots and socks to reveal bare feet. They poured tacks and broken glass onto the mat. STP were diabolical when they slammed Shafir feet-first onto the sharp debris. The camera showed tacks stuck in the sole of her foot. Shafir embraced the pain to grind her feet into the glass, then she delivered a powerful kick to Adora.
The Death Riders rallied behind the guts of Shafir. Claudio rocked STP with furious clotheslines, then he pressed PAC into the air to toss him onto the pile outside. Moriarty swooped in from behind to dump Claudio from the ring. Moriarty trapped Garcia in the Border City Stretch submission. Garcia grabbed a piece of glass to cut Moriarty, which loosened the grip and enabled escape. Garcia cranked the Sharpshooter. Taylor coldcocked him with a hard punch. Shafir jumped on Taylor’s back, and he swung her off. Boom! Moxley struck with a cutter to the big man. The Death Riders fired up for a train of running strikes to Taylor in the corner. Well, all except for Shafir who understandably couldn’t run with her tortured feet. PAC picked up speed back and forth for a crushing lariat. Moxley finished the job with the Paradigm Shift to pin Taylor for the win.
This street fight was loads of fun. STP stepped up strong in the main event opportunity. The Death Riders hit all the right notes as the babyface bunch in Moxley’s hometown. Claudio was a beast, and Shafir was intense. Thumbs up to all involved.
