Stu Grayson Returns To AEW On Rampage

Stu Grayson returned to AEW on the October 14 episode of Rampage, which was taped in Toronto, Canada, and reunited with his Dark Order stablemates. The group huddled during a backstage segment, and an extra hand appeared. The camera panned back, showing that Grayson was the newcomer. Grayson’s return could be a boon for the stable, which has lost multiple members in recent months. Alan Angels left the company in June, and Anna Jay aligned with the Jericho Appreciation Society in July.

Grayson previously departed the company after his contract expired in April, and he started taking independent bookings in May.  Grayson hasn’t wrestled in AEW since the May 2 episode of AEW Dark: Elevation.

AEW Reportedly Releases Dark Order Member Stu Grayson 

Stu Grayson is no longer on the official AEW roster page, and word now is that he has left the company.

Grayson was removed from the official AEW roster page on the AEW website today, at a time when several deals are coming up. While AEW has not confirmed the departure as of this writing, Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com noted how word going around is that Grayson’s contract expired and the two sides failed to come to terms on a new deal.

For what it’s worth, other members of The Dark Order are still listed on the AEW roster, including Evil Uno, Alan “5” Angels, Alex Reynolds, Colt Cabana, John Silver, Pres10 Vance, and Anna Jay.

Grayson debuted with AEW at the inaugural Double Or Nothing pay-per-view in May 2019, arriving with Uno as the mystery men that led to the creation of The Dark Order.

Grayson last wrestled during last week’s AEW “Dark: Elevation” episode as The Dark Order defeated Eli Isom, Anthony Bennett, Mike Law, Kori Meshaw, Jaden Valo and Brett Waters in 12-man tag team action. The week before that The Dark Order won a 10-man match on Elevation, defeating Tito Ortic, RC Dupree, Jake Omen, Bulk Nasty, and Luther, while the week before that Grayson and Uno took a loss to Powerhouse Hobbs and FTW Champion Ricky Starks on AEW Dark. Grayson’s last Rampage appearance came on April 1 as he, Uno and Fuego del Sol took a loss to House of Black, while his last Dynamite appearance was the Casino Tag Team Royale on March 2.

Grayson has not commented on his AEW departure as of this writing.
