All Elite Wrestling (2024-present)

Sporadic appearances (2024-2025)

Due to the relationship between NJPW and All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Kidd has appeared on both AEW and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2024 and 2025. During his appearances, Kidd notably aligned himself with the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Pac, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir) as a "hired mercenary", teaming with and assisting the stable in matches without being recognized as an official member. On 12 July 2025 at AEW's biggest event of the year All In, Kidd teamed with Castagnoli and Yuta to unsuccessfully challenge The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and Powerhouse Hobbs) for the AEW World Trios Championship.
