The Opps have done what no one has been able to do for a couple of months, and taken down the Death Riders thanks to some help.
To close out tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite, The Opps and Death Riders went at it for the AEW Trios Championships. Because of HOOK's injury, however, The Opps had some extra help…in the form of none other than Powerhouse Hobbs.

Hobbs wasn't the only one who would help The Opps, though. Late in the match, The Young Bucks came out to try and interfere. Swerve Strickland was waiting, though, and surprised the crowd by appearing and stopping the Bucks from getting anything going. Strickland threw the group over the security barricades and caused them to run off.
Back inside the ring, Samoa Joe ended things by locking Moxley into a Coquina Clutch, and finally handing a loss to the Riders. Following the match, a large portion of AEW's locker room came out to celebrate the newly crowned champions.
