The tweet is very ambiguous. However, many fans are assuming this tweet was a sign that Matt is joining the Dark Order’s ranks, or at least he is interested in AEW. Brodie Lee is the leader of the AEW stable Dark Order.

Matt’s previous WWE character, Aiden English, was a prominent name on WWE NXT. He won the NXT Tag Team Championship back in 2014. English couldn’t achieve much on the main roster. However, his run with Rusev as a part of the ‘Rusev Day’ was highly acclaimed. In fact, he was a big part of the Bulgarian star’s success before the duo was disbanded.
He recently shifted to commentary before WWE released him in April during the budget cuts for the COVID-19 pandemic.
In March, Brodie Lee laid his Luke Harper to rest and embraced “the exalted one” in AEW. Maybe, Rehwoldt is also planning on that.

Performer or Commentator?
Matt Rehwoldt recently appeared on the Warren Hayes Podcast. He talked about how he discovered his love for commentary in WWE.
“Honestly, I ended up learning a lot more and falling in love with [the commentary] side of it more than I thought I’d do, which is why I ended up staying, and I credit a lot of that to the guys I was thrown out there with.”
