The Dark Order’s future in AEW appears secure. Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, and John Silver have all reportedly signed new contracts with the company, putting an end to months of uncertainty surrounding the faction’s status.
The three had originally inked three-year deals in 2023, meaning those agreements were set to expire at some point during 2026. Reports earlier this year flagged the situation as one to watch, but the trio has now reportedly recommitted, ensuring they remain active across both AEW and Ring of Honor.
For Evil Uno, the renewal carries additional weight beyond just his in-ring work. He has reportedly been functioning as a coach for both AEW and ROH, meaning his new deal extends a backstage role that gives the promotion a seasoned, experienced voice behind the curtain alongside his continued competing.
The Dark Order is one of AEW’s most tenured acts. Evil Uno was present at the very first Double or Nothing in 2019, helping establish the faction as one of the promotion’s foundational pieces. Reynolds and Silver came aboard later that same year, and the trio has remained together through various evolutions of the group. In more recent years, much of their work has shifted toward ROH rather than Dynamite, but they’ve stayed a consistent part of the overall AEW ecosystem.
With these reported signings, AEW has held onto one of the last remaining links to its original roster era, keeping a group that has been part of the company since its very beginning locked in for the next chapter.
