Adam Cole Revealed As The Devil At AEW Worlds End
In a shocking turn of events at AEW Worlds End, Adam Cole made a dramatic return and was revealed as The Devil, leading a menacing alliance that included The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennet), Roderick Strong, and Wardlow.
The unfolding drama began when Adam Cole returned just before MJF’s match against Samoa Joe. Cole, donned in a devilish mask, was at ringside to support MJF. However, after MJF suffered a defeat, a group of masked men, including Cole, attacked MJF, marking a chaotic turn of events.

During the assault, the lights went out, creating an air of suspense. When they flickered back on, Cole was seated in a chair, proudly brandishing the Devil mask. The masked assailants then unmasked themselves, intensifying the assault on MJF.
Adam Cole’s return to AEW comes after a period of absence, with his last appearance dating back to AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, where he sustained an ankle injury. His unexpected alliance with MJF over the summer had raised eyebrows, especially considering the disapproval from Roderick Strong.
Roderick Strong, supported by Matt Taven and Mike Bennet, had consistently accused MJF of being the Devil, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the storyline. Meanwhile, Wardlow had been targeting MJF since his return to television in October.
The enigmatic Devil character made a cryptic debut on the September 27 episode of AEW Dynamite, orchestrating attacks alongside masked accomplices. MJF, however, denied being the Devil and claimed that his mask had been stolen. The Devil and his associates continued their assaults, targeting various AEW stars.
In a surprising development on AEW Dynamite, two members of the Devil’s faction secured victory by winning the ROH Tag Team Championships in a match where MJF was unexpectedly outnumbered after Samoa Joe’s apparent injury turned out to be a ruse, revealing his allegiance to the Devil’s group.
