AEW's Dark Order took another hit this year as Alan "5" Angels' contract has expired.

A Reddit thread noted that Angels had removed all references to AEW in his Twitter profile and made his profile image all black. Bryan Alvarez confirmed that his contract did expire. However, he is expected to work in AEW on a per-date deal.

On Monday night, Angels tweeted the following:



Stu Grayson, an early AEW roster member and original Dark Order member, could not come to terms on a new deal earlier this year and also departed. It's unknown if there were any such negotiations with Angels on a contract.

The 24-year-old debuted during the early pandemic era Norcross, Georgia, TV tapings in 2020. That included his much-discussed and debated match with Kenny Omega due to the amount of offense the relative unknown got in. He would join Dark Order in May and remained with the group through the end, wearing a mask for part of his run and then dropping it.

His last AEW match was a Pure Rules bout against Daniel Garcia during the most recent Universal Studios TV tapings that has yet to air.

Angels has continued to work indies and just made his NJPW Strong debut in the Openweight Tag Team title tournament along with Dark Order member Evil Uno.

Yeah ngl im not sad about this one at all. Kenny match was peak n hes not improved anywhere since n just been hanging out being on sammy vlog. Not to mention a 9 man faction was never gonna work long term esp as faces. Trimming dark orders fat is not a bad idea n alan will be better used elsewhere.

I like Alan but I get it. Hopefully he does well elsewhere and maybe does the odd dark taping which the story seems to say he might

It’s what you have to expect. Tony has brought in real stars. Some guys fall through the cracks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if more guys that were there at the beginning see their contracts not renewed

Dark Order ded.

I'd say "you hate to see it"...but can't find any fucks to give about that.

absolutely will be more lower card guys that won't be renewed, I agree. It's normal and part of the business. When done tastefully it's no big problem and both parties can move on amicably, and I'm sure the large majority of these folks will land on their feet in whatever indie suits them best or maybe get a look at nxt 2.0 who knows

for what its worth though:

Bryan Alvarez confirmed that his contract did expire. However, he is expected to work in AEW on a per-date deal.

That would be the same as Peter Avalon in that case but I'd expect him to end up some place else as opposed to that unless he just really wants to keep appearing lol

We don't get to hear Jericho make fun of his name now.

We don't get to hear Jericho make fun of his name now.

We do a little longer, with this pay per appearance thing. Just depends on how long that last.

 

[Swerve]

Any amount of time is good with me.

Can Jericho’s contract expire?
