Blackpool Combat Club is a professional wrestling stable currently performing in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Its namesake derives from Blackpool, the town where the group's British creator and manager William Regal began his career. The group is also composed of American wrestlers Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and Wheeler Yuta, alongside Swiss wrestler Claudio Castagnoli.
Background
Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson had their first interaction in August 2010 when they challenged to their first match in Heartland Wrestling Association's Road to Destiny event then in Dragon Gate USA a month later.[1][2] Danielson, who was employed by the WWE at the time after his return in SummerSlam, was referred to as Daniel Bryan, wrestled his match against Moxley. In 2011, Moxley was signed with the WWE and wrestled in its Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory, which later became NXT as Dean Ambrose, who would became a successful member of The Shield. Ambrose and Bryan wrestled various matches throughout the entire 2010s and both men became successful world champions for the WWE before reverting to their respective names after their departures from the WWE in 2019 and 2021 respectively, with both men joining All Elite Wrestling. During that period, William Regal was also employed by the WWE prior to the faction's establishment, as a wrestler and general manager for NXT.
History

On the February 2, 2022 episode of AEW Dynamite, Danielson offered Jon Moxley to team up together.[3][4] However, Moxley stated that he would only team with Danielson if they wrestled each other first.[5] Danielson was defeated by Moxley at Revolution on March 6, after which the two began brawling. William Regal, once a mentor to both men respectively, then made his AEW surprise debut to break up the fight and force them to shake hands.[6] The two formed a team with Regal acting as their manager, later being named the Blackpool Combat Club.[7][8] On the April 8 episode of AEW Rampage, Moxley wrestled ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta in a highly acclaimed match, in which Moxley ultimately emerged victorious. After the match, Regal offered Yuta a handshake, and subsequently invited him to join the group, which Yuta accepted.[9][10] On May 11, Eddie Kingston and Santana and Ortiz united with the Blackpool Combat Club to fight off the Jericho Appreciation Society.[11] On May 18, Kingston accompanied both Regal and Moxley to the ring, and agreed to team up with Moxley and Danielson (along with Santana and Ortiz) to wrestle the Jericho Appreciation Society at Double or Nothing.[12][13] The number of participants in this match would later be updated to five for each team, with Regal accompanying Moxley and Danielson to the ring.[14] Claudio Castagnoli joined the Blackpool Combat Club at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door on June 26, making his surprise AEW debut as Danielson's handpicked replacement due to Danielson suffering an injury.[15]
