The Dark Order had many detractors when it initially formed and was much maligned until John Huber, known better to wrestling fans as Brodie Lee and Luke Harper, arrived as The Exalted One. Almost overnight, his presence gave the faction credibility and direction. Tragically he would pass away last December, aged just 41.
At one time, it appeared Adam Page was about to become the group’s leader, but that never occurred, and since then, fans have been speculating about who may eventually take over the role. One fan would suggest on Twitter that either Aleister Black and Braun Strowman, who are no longer with WWE, could be good choices. However, Cody Rhodes would respond, confirming that The Dark Order doesn’t need a new leader as Huber’s eldest son Brodie Lee Jr. is already the leader.
Brodie Lee Jr. first became known to wrestling fans when he was awarded the TNT Championship belt his father previously held in an emotional segment on the tribute episode of Dynamite. Since then, he has made frequent appearances for the promotion going by the name Negative One. While he still has a long time to wait, Lee Jr. actually has an official contract with the AEW waiting for him when he turns 18. So if he chooses, he can follow in his father’s footsteps.
