AEW: 5 possible candidates who could be The Dark Order’s Exalted One
By Sam Gladen
As the Dark Order’s plans for domination of All Elite Wrestling continue to take shape. We look at our top 5 picks for the brains of the outfit.
The Dark Order is one of the most interesting factions in All Elite Wrestling’s short history. While they have struggled at times to prove themselves as a very real and present danger to the tag team division.
Things seem to be changing in the new year for the group in the ring and the pair at the head of the chaos could make a real go for the top prize in the tag team division if they choose to do so.
However, seemingly without championship aspirations, the figureheads of The Dark Order, Evil Uno, and Stu Grayson, have primarily focused on the systematic destruction of babyface factions within the company. As well as collecting jobbers to fill out their ranks in preparation for the arrival of the true leader of the Dark Order.
The Exalted One.
The Exalted One is a new character in the world of the Dark Order. Their only appearance occurred when The Exalted One spoke to Evil Uno through a computer screen in a promo segment after the beat down of perennial baby faces The Elite and setting Hangman Adam Page down his current path of alcoholism and discontent with the current status quo in The Elite.
The true identity of the yet unnamed Exalted One has captured the imagination of the wrestling world at large and theories are running rampant. Everyone has a pick for who they think might be the leader of the Dark Order.
From ECW legends or in the belief of some more excitable members of our staff, figments of a current WWE champion’s imagination. The theories are endless. So not to be outdone. Here are our top 5 picks for the true identity of The Exalted One.
