Cody Rhodes is the EVP of AEW and is undoubtedly one of the most popular stars in the company as well. He is well aware of how the company functions and what needs to be done to help improve the product.
The Dark Order faction underwent a big change after the passing of its leader, Brodie Lee. Since then many fans have been wondering whether there will ever be a new leader for the faction.
A fan recently took to Twitter and asked Cody Rhodes whether recently released WWE Superstars such as Aleister Black or Braun Strowman could become the leader of The Dark Order.
so @CodyRhodes, who’s gonna be the new leader of the dark order? @TommyEnd continuing his dark father gimmick or @BraunStrowman?!?!?
Cody Rhodes saw the fan’s tweet and decided to reply to it, as he answered that while both Aleister Black or Braun Strowman are badasses, Brodie Lee Jr is the only leader of The Dark Order.
Those guys are both bad asses – BUT Negative One is the leader of The Dark Order
John Silver had also previously stated he doesn’t want to replace Brodie Lee as the leader after his passing. It is highly unlikely The Dark Order will ever receive another leader who will be as good as Brodie Lee.
