7. Evil Uno & Stu Grayson

In years to come, grandfathers and grandmothers alike will sit little Timmy down to wax lyrical about that time The Dark Order debuted to a booming response at Double Or Nothing 2019. Stu Grayson and Evil Uno were over, they'll say, and they'd be right, even if the timeline is a bit off - the Order boys are also still cherished by some, but All Elite feels like it's starting to move on from them.

Evil and Stu are pretty much toast as a hot act in AEW circles as calendars turn to 2022. Dark Order in general are struggling to remain relevant as a misfit gang of babyfaces, but their once-proud focal points should be alarmed by how things are going.

Messrs Uno and Grayson have been reduced to run-ins that "even the odds" against heels. When they're not throwing punches in listless brawls, they're appearing in comedy skits that only served to weigh Hangman Page down pre-World Title win.

Things do not look great for the Order.
