Various: Dark Order on Their Reception in AEW, NJPW World Tag League Night 15 Results, Indies

The Dark Order Comments on Their Reception in AEW

Fightful held a recent interview with The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) and one of the topics discussed included their thoughts on their reception in All Elite Wrestling since their debut.

Evil Uno – “”Publicly, it’s been mixed. But anything professionally has been very good. We’re here for the long run. It’s only been six weeks of TV. Of course you don’t know much about us now, but that’s by design. We’re supposed to be mysterious. Just wait and see and I promise there will be answers eventually.”

Stu Grayson – “It’s a question of patience. Most fans want to know who we are and everything we’re going to do. But it’s just starting. In the first few episodes of season one, you can’t have the spoiler of season ten. There’s so much to come. If you’re confused now, be confused. That’s okay.”

The Dark Order also revealed the amount of creative control they have over their characters and direction in the company.

Evil Uno – “I wouldn’t say it’s a 50/50 split — it’s been more sided to us, which is crazy to think about because we’re on national TV and in a large company. We didn’t anticipate to have so much control on how we’re presented. There are TV executives and TV time and constraints, but we’ve had a really good amount of input.”
