Matt Hardy managed to fool everyone in the wrestling world on Wednesday night. After weeks of teasing the idea that he was The Dark Order’s leader, aka “The Exalted One,” AEW revealed that the faction’s real leader was actually former WWE star Luke Harper (now going by Brodie Lee). Moments after that reveal, Hardy uploaded the final episode of his “Free The Delete” YouTube series, where he showed off his new Damascus persona and had Vanguard One fly off towards his new “Arcadia.” In the closing moments of AEW Dynamite, the drone landed in the middle of ring, quickly revealing that Hardy had arrived.

No Crowd, But Great Show
In spite of no crowd & a worldwide pandemic, @AEWrestling adapted and put on their best episode of #AEWDynamite so far. Props to @CodyRhodes, @TonyKhan & the team. @MATTHARDYBRAND & #BrodieLee will get that crowd adulation soon enough. Superb stuff from all involved. Congrats!
