The Dark Order wanted a definitive answer tonight (Jan. 20) from Hangman Page about his decision to join the stable.
But before Page fought alongside the Dark Order for an 8-man tag team match, it was time to sing “Happy Birthday” to Brodie Lee’s son:
Happy Birthday, Brodie Lee Jr!

The cake wasn’t even cut when Chaos Project came out to talk trash to Brodie Jr., lamenting how Dynamite has turned into a daycare center. TH2 came out and a wild brawl ensued, and that’s when the Hangman joined the fray. The 8-man tag was officially on.
You just knew one of the heels was going through that cake, and that’s exactly what happened, thanks to an assist from -1:
FACE FULL OF CAKE!

The babyfaces went over, as expected, but Brodie Jr. still had one more cane swing left in him:

With all the silly stuff out of the way, it was time for Page to finally make his decision.

What?!
Page explained that he’s done the group dynamic before and it didn’t end well for him. He’s had fun spending time with the Dark Order, but he will not join the group.
What a buzzkill.
