When Brodie Lee obliterated The Nightmare Family and Cody Rhodes at the end of last week's edition of AEW Dynamite, it felt as if the Dark Order faction finally moved one step forward in terms of seriousness.

But then during this week's show, some Dark Order members arrived with a silly re-interpreation of the widely popular coffin meme. One other comical moment occured when Brodie Lee became tired of Dark Order minions sucking up to him, so the new AEW TNT Champion struck a member who was completely floored over what The Exalted One had achieved.

On top of that, fans have wondered what significance the lawn mowers had in this segment?

AEW fans have criticised the company for not booking the Dark Order in a clear direction, and even though the "mob boss" mentality remains consistent in terms of Brodie Lee's character, it's hard to figure if other members of the Dark Order are to be taken seriously or not.

But the segment was certainly entertaining in the end, and Anna Jay's introduction worked well compared to the goofy shenanigans that occurred a few moments ago. She may also have a hand in recruiting Tay Conti, fka Taynara Conti in WWE NXT.

Tay Conti is not just a good addition to the Dark Order, but the AEW Women's Division could certainly benefit a lot from her presence.
