Worst Person to be the Devil
 

Take your picks, folks!

Rob Banks

Is this some AEW reveal type thing?

The best person would be Triple A, would explain why he is missing in action!

I remember Punks "Am I really the devil" promo from a HIAC PPV lead up.

it's SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I voted Joey Ryan. Before I saw the list, I thought Tony Khan. Your sig made me remember Joey Janella.

No Loose Cannon or Crossrine.




Bad poll.

We keep talking as if there is only one Devil. But when you see a gimmick getting this much attention, why wouldn’t you get a costume and start acting like it was your idea all along. That’s why the Devil should be multiple wrestlers.

Kyle O’Reilly is obviously one of them. He’s Canadian. One of the henchmen is Roderick Strong. O’Reilly and Strong have been associated in the past.

Jack Perry is another Devil. He’s one of the four pillars and is the reason CM Punk — the original devil — is out on his bum ass. Jack Perry’s father was an actor — the Devil gimmick is theatrical and reminiscent of a Hollywood orgy costume.

Don Callis is someone that would organize this. He’s a master manipulator. He’s hiding his identity because he doesn’t want MJF and Chris Jericho to become friends. It’s all about friendship.

CM Punk is going to a Devil. But he will be on WWE television.

Britt Baker will be another Devil. Tony would have heard the rumors and thought it was a good idea. Who said the Devil needs to be a man?! She is Adam Cole’s wife and is the pillar who has replaced MJF, if you remember *that* promo.

You can probably make Sami Callihan and Matt Cardona Devils too.

Oh and Heath Slater will be a Devil too.

Just make a whole devil stable. They never take off their masks or speak. They just do moves that make you go OH ITS THAT ONE GUY!


Devil's Advocates. There ya go. It's carny enough

It’s perfect. You can just have different wrestlers under the masks if someone gets hurt.

You know who would’ve actually been a satisfying reveal who probably would’ve also still been a shock? Wardlow.

Why did they bring him back just to squash a couple of nobodies and threaten to eventually get involved with MJF from a distance? It could’ve been the thing needed to kick Wardlow back to the next level again, into a feud with MJF for the world title, and then see how he gets on leading a group rather than being a follower, see how crowd reaction is and if all goes well finally pull the trigger on him and put him over.

It’s probably Adam Cole and that’s fine I guess, but Wardlow would have been the best and most logical choice for me.

I guess it still could be him, but the surprise isn’t there now since he’s been back doing nothing for a few weeks.

You still run into the problem of why Wardlow would be concealing his identity. If the plan is to re-emerge as a star, why wouldn’t he just kick MJF’s ass and make no excuses for it?

What if it is Asian dude in the prison from Batman Begins

Wardlow would probably get a nice pop in that role and would be an interesting change of dynamic for him and MJF but I dont think Wardlow has the mic skills to close the deal in an ongoing way. Especially if hes going toe to toe with MJF on the mic.

I think its Cole, its a good story in the grand scheme of the him and MJF storyline but as the interest in the angle grows the chances of anyone being happy with the reveal get less and less.

People claim to want long drawn out storylines but as soon as you do anything like that with any sort of mystery sections of the IWC make up there own head cannon and anything else is disappointing.

Adam Cole doesn’t make sense. He’s injured. Also, why would he be doing it?

What if

Matt Riddle

To fuck with MJF. It makes sense just fine.

Tony Khan being the devil seems to be gaining traction on Twitter. It's got to be Tony!

"It was me Friedman! It was me all along!"

That line delivered with his awkward speaking skills would be funny as hell, and not in a positive way, but an Adam Sandler's mom "THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU" way.

Yup in a world where everyone hates MJF and Cole has failed to beat him twice it makes a lot of sense.

Befriend MJF, Isolate MJF, string him along and while hes distracted by everyone around him spring the trap. Whether Cole is injured IRL or its a storyline almost doesn't really matter beyond is he ready to go when the match occurs.

On a scale of making sense in wrestling this ones pretty high.

I honestly dont think many of the other theories make sense outside of it being Punk and I really dont want that tbh.

Michael Cole > Adam Cole and has a better in-ring record :D

I'm not really an Adam Cole guy but this has been entertaining. Him and MJF being friends, ADDDAAAAMMMM!!! is pretty funny.

If he is revealed as the devil I hope he goes full dick head heel not the semi face heel crap hes done since being in AEW.

No, it doesn’t make sense. If you want to send a message, you actually need to be able to convey what that message is. The Devil attacked Jay White. So Adam Cole or Wardlow, knowing they would reveal themselves (?) at some point, wants to make enemies out of Bullet Club Gold.

They’ve also beaten down The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn, right? So that’s another faction they don’t mind putting completely off-side for…reasons?

Wardlow has already attacked MJF and let him know that he doesn’t like him. What does he get from doing the same as a mystery figure? If Adam Cole wants to fuck with MJF, he’d just do the things he’s doing without the mystery.

This “it makes sense…for wrestling” talk needs to stop. Something is either logical or it’s not.

I’d laugh if MJF goes to the WWE and reveals himself to be the Devil there.

I want to change my pick. The worst option is nobody being the devil, where they just forgot about that angle entirely.

I can definitely see that happening.

And fanboys will still find a way to defend it.

Not a single thing about professional wrestling is logical. At all. Except gravity, maybe.

You are why we cannot have nice things.

Yes me, a person who doesn't even consume the product, is why. The more logic you attempt to place on any pro-wrestling, the less sense it will make. That is nothing new.


Keep on keeping on.

Adam Cole reveals himself to be the Devil. “Haha, my evil plan worked, Maxwell! I was never really your friend! You have no friends! Now pls grant me a shot at the World Title. I could have just asked, but I wanted to hurt your feelings! Muwahahaha!”

The Devil and his followers close in on MJF. The Acclaimed, Billy Gunn and Bullet Club Gold all hit the ring to get some revenge against the guys who attacked them.

It’s fucking stupid.

I’m telling you now, this is 100% going to suck.

Everything Adam Cole does sucks. I still don't "get" Adam Cole. I just know he is tiny and looks like a child trying to wrestle with men.

No argument there.

I could tolerate him in the mid-card or something, but everything being Cole-centric has always sucked. I wasn’t even interested in NXT when he was there.
