13 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Feb 12)

Downs…

2. What Happened Next?

The Dark Order
AEW

The Dark Order briefly interrupted the show's opening stages to cut a promo as SoCal Uncensored and Hangman Page/Kenny Omega got ready to fight. Evil Uno wished the competitors luck, said they Order will be watching and when the time is right, they're going to strike.

Cue: Christopher Daniels decided he'd had enough and stomping to the back, presumably to find Uno and co. That's fine and makes perfect sense within their ongoing storyline, but there was no follow-up. AEW just forgot about it.

What happened to Daniels when he went backstage? Did he find The Dark Order? Did they evade him? Was he beaten up or even assimilated by the group? We don't know. Dynamite didn't tell us.

A strange move to focus on Daniels and leave the thread dangling, particularly as the Dark Order were in the ring 15 minutes later.
