Brodie Lee's new gimmick has come across as a Vince McMahon-parody for the most part.

People expected The Exalted One to exhibit a cult leader's qualities, and to some extent, Brodie Lee's in-ring persona is more grounded towards that very belief.

However, when it comes to backstage skits, Lee suddenly becomes an over-the-top authority figure, whose characteristics seem to be parodying Vince McMahon rather than sticking to the cult leader gimmick.

Dual personalities have become a hot gimmick in Professional Wrestling over the past few years, but Brodie Lee hasn't found the right balance between those two extremes yet.

For example, it probably confuses several viewers when Lee scolds one of his minions for yawning in his presence. The Dark Order has to find the right balance between silliness and seriousness.

Later, Lee would arrive in his Exalted One attire to powerbomb one of his minions who failed to overcome the threat of Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall. It will be interesting to see how the audience will respond to Lee's gimmick when things go back to normal.
