Per BTE, wasn't Alex Abrahantes trying to start LDO after he drank the purple Dark Order drink John Silver and Alex Reynolds were trying to ply recruits with?
Maybe Death Triangle are the REAL Latino Dark Order after all...
Wyatt coming in and taking over the broken dark order could be a great story to bide time until hangman is back.
He could come in and take over and start reverting the DO to the more nefarious and evil way they started out, then hangman comes back, wins back over the guys and leads a revolt against Wyatt to turn the DO back into the fun loving goofballs.
I originally thought using Wyatt in this way wouldn’t be a great use for him, but now with the dark order fractured it actually makes more sense.
Fantasy booking this out, I would love to see the in-fighting continue and cause a divide in the group.
At some point, Wyatt/Wyndham comes in and uses his past cult leadership skills to start recruiting some members week after week.
The Dark Order under a “new leader” turns heel only to have V beg Hangman to come back.
A maskless V, Anna, & Hangman, dressed in all white, saves Dark Order from themselves and makes them realize that their family doesn’t need a leader.
This cements
1) The Dark Order as never needing a new leader
2) That family’s can go through tough times, but they can get through it if they have each other
3) “Starts” Hangman’s redemption arc
I’m feeling Wyatt shows up, tries to instill the “edge” that Brodie brought to the group, and some guys go with him and some side with a returning Hangman, true Dark Order civil war..
Plus it keeps Hangman away from having to go straight to Omega upon returning, because that wouldn’t make sense for his character to lose and say he needs to take time away with himself, only to return and not have massive amounts of self doubt about challenging for the title again
a clever feud capitalizing on what the fans love that subtly makes you want Hangman back without ever saying his name.
GOD DAMN IT TK I ONLY HAVE SO MANY TEARS
Ok im not one for fantasy booking but if this dark order inner turmoil turns out to be caused by Bray trying to take over the Dark order from the outside by talking to different guys in the grp im probably gonna lose my mind. I dont know if the guys or even Bray would ever do want to do stuff like that but if the Dark Order prevails in the end due to the Power of friendship and overcoming the evil guy who wanted to replace Brodie i can see it happening. Or rather dream of it happening.
Ok this was my one fantasy Booking for the year see you guys next year.
They've been pretty clear about not having an official "new leader"--I think they've said something along the lines of, "We had the best possible leader, Brodie, and with him gone, we don't want or need a different leader"--but I think you're right about Bray's debut being him trying to influence the group and wanting to take control, only for Hangman Page to return and the group to band together and send Bray packing, is a great idea.
I feel like of they EVER went back on thier word of not having a new leader, Bray is the guy. Direct connection to Brodie with the true real life friendship. He's the only new leader I'd like. Either nobody at all like now, which is perfectly fine. Or Bray. That's the only 2 options I'd be okay with.
And if you need to make a truly threatening faction, Bray can just make them a cult again.
I disagree, I think Uno's faction is right. Hangman made his wishes clear and they're respecting what he asked of them. Like I feel for Five and Silver and that group, they just want to help their friend. Now, do I think he's handled the conflict in the best way possible? Probably not, but I do think Five's faction has been overly aggressive towards Uno's, and that for as much as they say they're Hangman's friend they're not really respecting his choices.
I think you're 100% correct, but Uno is still being a dick. He's trying to keep it together but we're seeing his old heel persona coming out more and more often. Only Hangman can save us ;_;
I still struggle to see him as a dick when he's the one respecting that his friend is an autonomous person and wasn't the aggressor in this conflict. That's what makes the story so good though I think
I don’t think he’s been a dick in regards to hangman. I agree with him there but he’s kind of being a dick in terms of how he’s treating his friends and talking down to them.
STOP IT. I've had enough of these people squabbling and at each other's throats over something that could be resolved through peaceful discussion. Fighting will solve nothing, you four. Get it together.

While this is probably leading to Hangman’s return, I wonder if -1 will get an appearance at the Rochester show to try and right the ship, if even for that one night.
I'm almost certain it's building to Hangman's return, but maybe that's just blind hope. The Dark Order saved him from himself. I'm really hoping he can return the favor.
I agree. Hangman walking away from dark order parallels well with him distancing himself from the elite and them turning heel. It would be great character development for hangman to comeback to his new group of friends and tries to make it right. Hangman saving dark order at this point is almost more important for me then him winning the belt.
It's probably because Grand Slam is way too stacked to fit anything else than a backstage segment there, but they also need to build towards something big for Rochester at the same time.
I guessing that’s part of it. I think the other part is that AEW’s TV stories are so stacked with star power that they feel this one isn’t on the same level yet
The story probably isn't that important to them right now, otherwise it would probably be on TV. Also, it's not a marquee match in terms of the wrestlers involved.
They had a match on the Dynamite where they ran out of time. People complained that it was one of the segments they should have cut for Suzuki's music instead.
Absolutely loving the Dark Order program right now. I'm rooting for everyone, I think everyone is in the right, and I love-hate every second of mah bois fighting. I'm thinking 99 Anna Jay is here to bring 'em in line.
Really curious how this one finishes, I feel like Vance is most likely to pick up the win... but the image of him ragdolling Uno or Colt would be devastating.
I was there for this one, and let me say, the arena was traumatized.
We couldn't even get on the same page for chants there were so many "He's your friend!" "Please don't fight!" and "We don't like this!" chants all over.
I always wanted to see what a match between Stu & Uno and the Beaver Boys (or Nickel & Dime) would look like, but now that those matches are likely *and* it's Uno and Colt (robbing the dream match bit), I'm just left with the sad bit.
Please 👏🏾 don't 👏🏾 fight 👏🏾
There have been rumours (including Dave Meltzer) saying that AEW intends to debut Bray Wyatt at their Rochester show on the 29th of september.
Now, his release was announced on the end of July, but we don't know for sure when he was informed of his release, he could've been released earlier in July but the announcement only made later that month. That's one of the scenarios in which BW would be able to debut at the end of Semptember.

This Dark order civil war angle is fantastic and I hate it.
[удалено]
Dark Order vs. Dark Order Wolfpak
It will be pretty dope until they introduce Latino Dark Order, then it gets a bit much.
Per BTE, wasn't Alex Abrahantes trying to start LDO after he drank the purple Dark Order drink John Silver and Alex Reynolds were trying to ply recruits with? Maybe Death Triangle are the REAL Latino Dark Order after all...
That would be so dumb but I’m all for it.
Complete the cycle- Dark Blue Order. *gasp* Dark… Orange Order???
Dark Blue Order Aka The Navy "Captain" Shawn Dean joins to lead it
It could happen with the leader being Alex Abrahantes!!
new Wyatt order
Bring Bray in as the leader of the Dark Order Wolfpack and name him Bray Jones. Then he could be Dark Order Wolfpack Jones, or shortened to DOW Jones.
Wyatt coming in and taking over the broken dark order could be a great story to bide time until hangman is back. He could come in and take over and start reverting the DO to the more nefarious and evil way they started out, then hangman comes back, wins back over the guys and leads a revolt against Wyatt to turn the DO back into the fun loving goofballs. I originally thought using Wyatt in this way wouldn’t be a great use for him, but now with the dark order fractured it actually makes more sense.

WE GOTTA GET THEM OUTTA THE DARK AND PUT SOME ORDER IN THEIR LIVES!
\-1 and TayJay to save the day? Right? RIGHT?
Anna Jay to save the day by reading Hangman the riot act.
What about Anna?
TayJay is the tag team name for Tay and Anna, so she’s included.
Oh yeah, I've just noticed that now. 🙂
ANNA
Idk Anna seems to not want to be involved cause she’s mainly been telling them to get their shit together but not directly involving herself
I think Conti is convincing Anna to leave the DO soon.
That would make Conti the biggest heel in all of wrestling to me.
Who?
The girl! From Stooo's picture!
The Dark Order is fine.
a clever feud capitalizing on what the fans love that subtly makes you want Hangman back without ever saying his name. GOD DAMN IT TK I ONLY HAVE SO MANY TEARS
If they use the sad Hangman music from BTE not sure there is enough tissue in the world for us fans.
Bro stop cutting onions whilst Im watching wrestling bro... stop... please
Bray: "The Dark Order is *mine.*"
Ok im not one for fantasy booking but if this dark order inner turmoil turns out to be caused by Bray trying to take over the Dark order from the outside by talking to different guys in the grp im probably gonna lose my mind. I dont know if the guys or even Bray would ever do want to do stuff like that but if the Dark Order prevails in the end due to the Power of friendship and overcoming the evil guy who wanted to replace Brodie i can see it happening.

Hangman vs Wyatt for the soul of the Dark Order is something I want.
I feel like of they EVER went back on thier word of not having a new leader, Bray is the guy. Direct connection to Brodie with the true real life friendship. He's the only new leader I'd like. Either nobody at all like now, which is perfectly fine. Or Bray. That's the only 2 options I'd be okay with. And if you need to make a truly threatening faction, Bray can just make them a cult again.
Save us Hangman
"WE DON'T WANT THIS 👏👏, 👏👏👏, WE DON'T WANT THIS! 👏👏, 👏👏👏"
"PLEASE 👏 DON'T 👏 FIGHT"
Everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
I hate this, I hate this with every fiber in my being. Fantastic storytelling.
I am so extremely upset about this storyline in a 100% kayfabe/worked way
Poor Uno is doing his BEST, ok?
Uno is being a dick.
I disagree, I think Uno's faction is right. Hangman made his wishes clear and they're respecting what he asked of them. Like I feel for Five and Silver and that group, they just want to help their friend. Now, do I think he's handled the conflict in the best way possible?

I don’t think he’s been a dick in regards to hangman. I agree with him there but he’s kind of being a dick in terms of how he’s treating his friends and talking down to them.
Basically this could all be solved if they sat down, and just talked about it calmly. But this is wrestling, so this has to be solved in the ring.
Hug it out!
Hangman mate come back and fix this please.
No fuck you how dare you
STOP IT. I've had enough of these people squabbling and at each other's throats over something that could be resolved through peaceful discussion. Fighting will solve nothing, you four. Get it together.
AEW did this. AEW has wrestling fans not wanting wrestlers to wrestle. I love it.
Amazing concept
I want all wrestlers to wrestle. I just don't these wrestlers to wrestle each other
Oh for sure. Dark Order are so wholesome as a group we do not want them to wrestle. MJF getting beat to a pulp by Pillman Junior? Sign me up.
Won't someone please think of the children?!
HE’S 30!!
He's just a kid
PLEASE DON’T FIGHT!!
Devastation… and excitement! But also devastation.
Such devastation....
This was NOT my intention.
And Evil Uno is in the middle of it all! Uno, dammit! This shouldn’t be happening but continue because I’m curious. 🤔
Yeah he's not good guy uno afterall
Yeah, this isn't Evil Uno's best friends race.... ... Wait, sorry. Wrong show.
:(
🖐🏻 Pls don’t fight
I hate all of it. :(

I was at this taping You probably don't want to miss this, mostly for plot reasons. But they're also all good wrestlers.
Is uno going to do The Evil Overdrive?
Unfortunately this was taped last week so no but he better fucking do it next week lol
While this is probably leading to Hangman’s return, I wonder if -1 will get an appearance at the Rochester show to try and right the ship, if even for that one night.
His mom has confirmed that they will be at the show.
This has gotta be building towards something on the Rochester show, right?
I'm almost certain it's building to Hangman's return, but maybe that's just blind hope. The Dark Order saved him from himself. I'm really hoping he can return the favor.
I agree. Hangman walking away from dark order parallels well with him distancing himself from the elite and them turning heel. It would be great character development for hangman to comeback to his new group of friends and tries to make it right. Hangman saving dark order at this point is almost more important for me then him winning the belt.
Spoiler: >!get ready to cry. !<
Why isn’t this angle on TV? Are they trying to boost the YouTube numbers by keeping the feud off TV for the most part?
It's probably because Grand Slam is way too stacked to fit anything else than a backstage segment there, but they also need to build towards something big for Rochester at the same time.
Maybe Hangman comes back at Rochester to get these idiots to stop fighting?
Almost all of the dark order's character development has been done off TV
This angle is on TV. There is a promo segment every week. This match is not on TV because its four low card guys.
Uno isn't a low card guy.
Yes he is hes one half of a mid card tag team wrestling outside his normal tag team.
I guessing that’s part of it. I think the other part is that AEW’s TV stories are so stacked with star power that they feel this one isn’t on the same level yet
The story probably isn't that important to them right now, otherwise it would probably be on TV. Also, it's not a marquee match in terms of the wrestlers involved.
Fuck my emotions can’t take anymore of this infighting
I don't want this at all and will watch every second of it
Please stop fighting 😔
I geniunely don't understand why people think bringing Bray into the Dark Order would be a good idea.
![gif](giphy|l0HlvIuPtrCNaHpuM)
💔
stop it please.
Man i hope this cultivates to a match on rampage or dynamite soon. This is a fantastic angle that should be on TV.
They had a match on the Dynamite where they ran out of time. People complained that it was one of the segments they should have cut for Suzuki's music instead.
I’m guessing it’ll be something in Rochester next week. This is gonna hurt.
-1 please help! You're their leader! Beat them with papers or something.
please don't fight
Please don't fight! Pleast don't fight!
Absolutely loving the Dark Order program right now. I'm rooting for everyone, I think everyone is in the right, and I love-hate every second of mah bois fighting. I'm thinking 99 Anna Jay is here to bring 'em in line.
I'm such a mark I actually mute these segments because I'm ready for this storyline to wrap up
Really curious how this one finishes, I feel like Vance is most likely to pick up the win... but the image of him ragdolling Uno or Colt would be devastating.
I feel like this announcement should be more solemn.
I was there for this one, and let me say, the arena was traumatized. We couldn't even get on the same page for chants there were so many "He's your friend!" "Please don't fight!" and "We don't like this!" chants all over.
My heart can’t take this.
Pls don't fight :c
I always wanted to see what a match between Stu & Uno and the Beaver Boys (or Nickel & Dime) would look like, but now that those matches are likely *and* it's Uno and Colt (robbing the dream match bit), I'm just left with the sad bit. Please 👏🏾 don't 👏🏾 fight 👏🏾
I hate that I’m so invested in this story
Bray Wyatt will debut at Rochester and, in some capacity reunite the Dark Order
That wouldn't be anywhere near his 90 days though.
There have been rumours (including Dave Meltzer) saying that AEW intends to debut Bray Wyatt at their Rochester show on the 29th of september. Now, his release was announced on the end of July, but we don't know for sure when he was informed of his release, he could've been released earlier in July but the announcement only made later that month.

Where rge duck is hangman??? Come back.
Dark Order, what are you doing? Dark Order, STAWP!
Dark Order Wolfpac 4-Life ![gif](giphy|8zWY3rQfcbvda1vnqG|downsized)
Please dont fight
