The Dark Order ran into multiple former stablemates.
In 2022, Preston Vance and Anna Jay left the Dark Order and joined La Faccion Ingobernable, respectively. Vance violently turned on the group as he attacked Alex Reynolds and ripped up Evil Uno's mask. These departures left Dark Order as a trio, as Reynolds, Uno, and John Silver remained the only remaining members.
On the latest episode of Being The Dark Order, Alex Reynolds, John Silver, and Evil Uno took a trip down memory lane, as AEW was taping at Daily's Place. Backstage, they ran into former stablemate Preston Vance. Vance apologized for his actions and noted that he was in a dark place.
Preston Vance: I just want to apologize for what I did. I was in a dark place in my life, and I’m not pointing fingers, I’m not blaming anyone, but you guys kind of enabled my substance abuse.
Evil Uno: That sounds like you’re blaming us, I’ll be honest.
PV: I’m not. I could have said no, but I didn’t. But I want to let you know, the best thing I could have done was go to Mexico. I’m clean.
Alex Reynolds: You got clean in Mexico?
PV: I got clean in Mexico.
EU: The capital of cocaine?
PV: Yup. I’m clean, I’m sober. I’m actually a born-again virgin.
John Silver: Oh, someone’s about ready to fuck then [laughs].
AR: Easy, John. We don’t want to set him back. If we enabled you in any way, I applied.
PV: Thank you, I appreciate that. Because when I was doing the white, I was seeing the red.
AR: Well, you did put me through a table.
EU: My mask was very expensive, and you tore it. I also bled.
PV: I’ll be honest with you, I blacked out.
EU: So did I.
PV: Yeah, I was blacked out for days at a time. So I just want to apologize.
Reynolds noted that he was glad they could talk, especially in Jacksonville. Vance agreed and noted that it was their home, and they had fun. Uno asked Vance to promise not to mess him up again, and he agreed.
EU: How about this? Promise not to fuck me up again? [Extends handshake]
PV: [Shakes his hand] Yeah, dude. I promise.
EU: Okay, okay.
Vance shook hands with Silver and Reynolds, and Alex said he was proud of him.
JS: You can fuck me up any time [laughs].
PV: [Laughs] Okay, okay. No hard feelings.
They parted ways, and they all reiterated there were no hard feelings. However, Vance flipped them off after they walked away.
They also ran into Anna Jay and caught up with her. She told them they were all annoying and said they were stupid, silly boys. Alex Reynolds apologized and said she would always be a part of their family. Jay said she wished them the best, and they said so as well.
The trio later bumped into former stablemate Colt Cabana. Cabana said he never wanted to not be a part of the Dark Order, and he would always have the group in his heart, but they didn’t have his back. However, he noted that he was glad that the three of them were still holding on. After these conversations, the Dark Order wondered whether they were bad guys, and Silver noted that he wanted to be a "good boy."
Silver jokingly welcomed Caleb Williams to the Dark Order. More information is available here.
