Wheeler Yuta also discussed the influence that Jon Moxley has had on his career, which he put down to learning more about psychology and raising everyone around him.

“I think Moxley, the thing that I learned from him more, is just like, you know, doing what needs to be done, I guess. He always talks about how he wants to elevate the standard in AEW, and he says that it always starts with us. So we have to be the ones showing that we go out and we work hard, and, you know, we try to bring everyone else around us up to our level. And I think that’s been working,” he said.

He pointed out how the aggressive, violent nature of their wrestling has brought out the best in their opponents, too, like Kyle O’Reilly and Darby Allen. Of course, Yuta has also learned the art of violence from Moxley.

“But obviously, he’s taught me plenty about, you know, violence and weapons and things of that nature as well. Like you said, been a totally different mentor. But it’s all coming from the same philosophy of just being a professional and working hard.”

It seems that the rest of the Death Riders have also helped Yuta in his career, with him earlier revealing the motivational words that Claudio Castagnoli gave him, which pushed him to work harder.
