11 Wrestling Easter Eggs You Totally Didn't Notice

11. The Dark Order Numbering System

There's an order to AEW's Dark Order, and it isn't sequenced in importance nor chronology - though it was at the beginning, before things got a little playfully dorky.

The Exalted One, Mr. Brodie Lee, was too important to be numbered amongst his lowly grunts. Evil Uno, fittingly, was always ranked #1. His primary tag team partner Stu Grayson is ranked #2. Beyond the creepers who have mercifully crawled back from whence they came, the first proper recruits, Alex Reynolds and John Silver, were ranked #3 and #4 respectively.

Preston Vance joined the stable as #10 in April as a pun on his forename. Alan Angels joined in June as #5, presumably based on the amount of people who agreed that he shouldn't have went six whole minutes with Kenny Omega. Anna Jay was ranked #99 in tribute to Brodie's love of ice hockey and its greatest ever player, Wayne Gretsky.

It gets interesting when you consider that two unnamed enhancement talents were ranked #8 and #9 on the April tapings at QT Marshall's gym. Had AEW lost count? Why did they skip numbers five, six and seven?

Those beautiful nerds laid an invisible easter egg and left #7 free as a number this entire time for the purpose of antagonising WCW's former Seven, Dustin Rhodes, when the time came. And it did, on the December 9 Dynamite.

There isn't a six, either. You know what that means.

Soon, AEW Dynamite will be dealin' with the X-Factor.
