The Dark Order's fabled Exalted One finally arrived on last night's AEW Dynamite - and his name is Brodie Lee.

With the big reveal advertised in advance, Evil Uno and Stu Grayson hit the ring to ready the crowd, prompting SoCal Uncensored's Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian to get up from ringside. CD was fed up, reiterating his belief that The Exalted One was a grand hoax and that Uno was blowing hot air, though he was soon silenced when the video screen fired up with a tall, hooded figure at the end of a dark corridor.

Lee threw the hood back after a short promo, promised that Daniels' insolence wouldn't go unpunished. Cut back to the arena and big Brodie was in the ring, with The Dark Order laying waste to SoCal Uncensored in quick, brutal fashion, standing tall as Dynamite moved to its next segment.

An effective debut for Lee, albeit one that would've hit harder before a live crowd. The current situation is the current situation though, and the main thing is that the former Luke Harper has finally found a new home after months of post-WWE purgatory.
