Jon Moxley has become an unapologetic heel since his return to AEW TV last month. The Purveyor of Violence returned from a short break last month, and fans were quick to notice the 38-year-old's change in demeanor. Eventually, he allied with Marina Shafir.

Following this alliance, the duo kept attacking the company's security staff and camera crew. Fans were baffled by Moxley and Shafir's actions. However, all hell broke loose at All Out 2024. At the PPV, reigning AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson retained his title against Jack Perry. After the match concluded, Moxley brutalized The American Dragon with the help of PAC and Claudio Castagnoli.

Moxley's new stable currently includes PAC, Castagnoli, and Marina Shafir. While three-fourths of this group constitute men, there is a possibility that Shafir will not be the only woman in it.

Here are a few female names who could join Jon Moxley’s new faction soon:


#5. Julia Hart could leave House of Black and join Jon Moxley’s stable

The House of Black currently consists of Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews, and Julia Hart. This faction is immensely popular. However, fans believe that the Tony Khan-led creative team has constantly underutilized them. Even though Julia Hart is a former AEW TBS Champion, many believe that she and the group have not been booked properly.

The 22-year-old is currently sidelined due to injury. Interestingly, upon her potential return, she could cut ties with House of Black and side with Jon Moxley and Co. Not only will the new faction grow stronger with a former champion, but Hart too could return to the title picture.


#4. and #3. Abadon or Britt Baker

Abadon is one of the most fascinating AEW stars. They don face paint, and their character is that of a person who channels their dark side during in-ring action. Unfortunately, in 2024, Abadon has predominantly performed in Ring of Honor.

Fans feel Abadon has tremendous potential, and Tony Khan could give them a sincere push by aligning the Colorado star with Jon Moxley's faction.

Additionally, Dr. Britt Baker could also be a reasonable addition to this group. The 33-year-old has predominantly performed as a solo competitor. Given her experience in the Jacksonville-based promotion, The D.M.D. could further elevate Moxley's new faction.


#2. and #1. Kris Statlander and ⁠Tay Melo

Kris Statlander and Tay Melo are two of the biggest assets of AEW. The former was once part of the now-defunct Best Friends stable, alongside Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, Orange Cassidy, and Wheeler Yuta. She is also a former AEW TBS Champion, and Jon Moxley and Co. will certainly benefit from her recruitment.

Like Statlander, Tay Melo's career could also take a new turn if she joins the erstwhile Dean Ambrose's faction. The 29-year-old Brazilian star hasn't appeared on All Elite Wrestling TV since January 2023 due to maternity leave. However, upon her potential return, Melo could start exactly where she left off by joining forces with Moxley and Co.
