**LAS VEGAS, NV – April 7, 2025** – All Elite Wrestling’s Dynasty 2025 event saw a shocking turn of events in the main event trios championship match. The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Pac, and Wheeler Yuta) successfully defended their titles against Rated FTR (Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and Matt Cope), but not without significant drama.

The match saw a tense back-and-forth, with early friction between Dax Harwood and Matt Cope within the FTR ranks. Despite moments of coordinated offense from Rated FTR, a key tag-team miscommunication allowed the Death Riders to gain the upper hand. The crowd even chanted “F*ck you, Yuta” during a particularly heated sequence.

While FTR managed to regain some momentum, Yuta’s quick thinking and a well-placed running knee allowed him to pin Dax Harwood, securing the victory for the Death Riders.

However, the post-match events overshadowed the win. After a brief show of camaraderie, Dax Harwood viciously attacked Cope with a piledriver. Despite Cash Wheeler’s initial attempt to intervene, he ultimately assisted Dax in delivering the devastating Shatter Machine onto a steel chair, followed by two conchairtos. Cope was stretchered out of the arena, leaving the wrestling world reeling. The attack raises serious questions about the future of Rated FTR and the state of Matt Cope’s condition. AEW has yet to release a statement on his status.
