Summary
– AEW’s storyline featuring “the Devil” targeting MJF has sparked widespread speculation about the character’s true identity.
– Recent episodes hinted at the Devil’s identity, including a car windshield spot involving Adam “Hangman” Page.
– Despite theories linking Jack Perry to the Devil, high-level sources within AEW suggest he is not involved in the angle.
The Devil has been a prominent figure in AEW’s ongoing narratives, particularly in his pursuit of MJF. Interestingly, MJF previously referred to himself as “the Devil” and claimed that the mask was stolen. This storyline twist has added layers of complexity and intrigue to the character.
Sean Sapp of Fightful noted that Hangman Page will be off television for some time following the Devil’s attack, indicating that the storyline is progressing with significant developments. The December 13 episode of AEW Dynamite featured the masked Devil attacking Adam “Hangman” Page, culminating in Page being put through a car window. This specific incident led to increased speculation about the Devil’s identity, with some fans assuming it was a hint at Jack Perry being behind the mask.
Jack Perry, known for his verbal altercation with CM Punk over the use of real glass in a past angle, was referenced during the AEW All In event, leading to a physical altercation with Punk. However, a high-level source within AEW messaged Fightful immediately after the segment, specifying their belief that Jack Perry is not involved in the angle. Although Perry’s suspension has technically ended, he has not returned to AEW shows, leaving his involvement in this storyline uncertain.
The Devil angle in AEW has captivated the audience, with the character leading a band of masked goons willing to do his bidding. As the storyline unfolds, fans eagerly wait to see how it will develop and who will ultimately be revealed as the Devil.
