The Dark Order’s Preston Vance, better known as ‘10’ has had a number of high-profile matches since joining the beloved stable in 2020.

A hulking figure, this undercover Cody has done gone toe-to-toe with Jon Moxley twice, defeated Ricky Starks, and even competed against Darby Allin for the TNT Championship in 2021.

At only 30-years-old, Vance has an incredible amount of potential, and is currently sporting one of the best records of any other Dark Order member. Never one to back down, ‘10’ seems destined to do great things in AEW if given the opportunity.

He’s shown as much during his time in Monster Factory Pro Wrestling back in 2015. Wrestling as Cody Vance, the red-hot newcomer defeated ‘Punisher’ Martinez (better known to WWE audiences as Damian Priest), capturing the MFPW Heavyweight Championship back in 2016.

A muscle-bound behemoth like ‘10’ plowing through fields of competitors gunning for the TNT Championship would without a doubt make for captivating television, adding all manner of intrigue and excitement to the title picture while simultaneously building Vance’s own brand up in the process.
