Brian Danielson came up with an idea in February to form a faction with Jon Moxley, a team that could mold AEW’s young stars in their image. Moxley hesitated at first, saying he just wanted to line up with someone he bled with. This resulted in a match between the pair in Revolution which Moxley narrowly won, but when the two continued to squabble after the match, William Regal arrived to make some sense for both. Regal then positioned himself as their manager while the two began working together as a tag team, which included a win over Varisty Blonds at Dynamite this week.
Moxley grabbed a microphone after the match and cut a promotional ad showing his respect to both Regal and Danielson, then said that anyone who wanted to join the group had to get in “the hard way”. Then he revealed his name – Blackpool Fight Club.

Danielson previously mentioned rising stars such as Utah Wheeler, Daniel Garcia and Lee Moriarty as potential members. Utah has already signaled his interest by appearing in Regal’s face last week, while Garcia (whom Danielson joked about being his father) has apparently gone the other way by joining the Jericho Appreciation Society and building his stature as a “sports artist.” .
“The idea would be, because I just talked about The Young Bucks and their wrestling style, and a lot of the older generation didn’t understand it. Part of the idea is to be in that older generation, to be a guy who says, ‘Hey, there’s a lot of deception here,'” Danielson explained in The Masked Man Show Last month. “Cut the bullshit. Mox, you and I, we’ll show these kids what wrestling is.”
“You take someone like Mox, who in my mind, you think, well, if you take the best brawl in the world, you take the best technical wrestler in the world, and you put them together and teach these kids violence rather than to comedy, all the different stories that can be results in. Like, “Hey, I don’t like your style of wrestling.” The idea of saying, “2point0, you’re not a good mentor to Daniel Garcia,” even though they have a lot of experience and they’re very good. And that gives them a kind of thing to fight off of. Character perspective. Same with Matt Sydal who was all over the world. I really like it, and I think it’s a good way to tell stories with the idea of mentoring. I think it works really well in Japan,” he continued. “The idea of collaborating with Moxley is just an idea like, well, if you ask me, ‘Who do I want to help me train the next generation of wrestlers? “I don’t think people would instinctively think of Moxley, but in my head, there’s a slight difference between me and him in wrestling, but they are complementary to wrestling. He and I are teaching the new generation of wrestlers what this is really an interesting philosophical idea to me.”
