The Dark Order is a faction that many people are wondering the state of.
With the passing of Brodie Lee, the group seems to be at a bit of a crossroads. Their Exalted One will no longer be leading the faction, and many fans are wondering what comes next for the group. If you ask Evil Uno, they may have to change direction in just what they are, but the group will be fine as a group.
During a special Talk Is Jericho celebrating the life of Brodie Lee, Evil Uno talked to Jericho about the future of the group and if it could survive without The Exalted One calling the shots. Even as a group on BTE, some of their best work came with Brodie Lee’s guiding hand. Uno thinks that it’s more important than ever for the group to stay together and succeed as a faction because it’s a part of Brodie’s legacy.
“I don’t think it’s something impossible. Especially with myself and Stu since we were Dark Order since day one, we’ve been through many phases of Dark Order. We had to adjust even when storylines were changing or things not working. Lockdowns, border crossings, people getting put in the group while not knowing who they were so I think we’ve always been good at adjusting. You have to right? You have to show that you’re multifaceted.”
“This year has given us confidence in the sense of I think we can pull through this. What does Dark Order do from here? Genuinely, I wish I could tell you. I wish I knew. Today, right now, I don’t even want to think about what’s coming up. I’m mostly thinking about Jon. I think the most obvious thing is we need to stay as a group in his honor. This is kind of wild because our cult group thing was, ‘Hey, you join this group, we’ll make you better.’ But now it feels like we have to become better wrestlers, better people for Jon. We now encapsulate his legacy.”
“His name is going to be attached to us forever, and anything from now on that is bad is not a bad thing just for us but also a bad thing to his legacy. So I feel like we have to produce the best content we have. The cult thing may not be the best approach next. Maybe we’re just a family. There’s a lot of ways we can go about this, but I think everything is going to be under a magnifying glass because everything we do now has to be as good as what Jon was.”
The perception of The Dark Order could become very different under the weight of Brodie’s passing. Not a single person didn’t cheer against the group this past Wednesday on Dynamite as they all competed under the banner of his memory. Now with his legacy on their backs, the group hopes to find even more confidence.
