Q: Does a status change from “awaiting reviewer selection” to “awaiting editor decision” imply rejection?

Detailed Question -

I submitted a paper to a humanities journal, and the status changed from 'Awaiting Reviewer Selection' to 'Awaiting ED Decision'. Does this mean that the peer review process was never carried out? And does it indicate that my paper is likely to be rejected?
