The top storyline in AEW is with The Devil character and that looks to be coming to an end, potentially as soon as this weekend.
Background
AEW first introduced this mystery person with MJF last year at All Out to claim an AEW World Title shot before revealing he was the one under the mask. AEW brought it back in recent months with the Devil and mystery partners attacking Jay White, The Acclaimed, and Billy Gunn, who had been either feuding or teaming with the World Heavyweight Champion.
On Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Samoa Joe turned on MJF, and it was made clear that Joe isn’t The Devil but aligned with him, allowing for the mystery men to pin MJF to win the ROH Tag Team Titles.
The tease
Our own Steve Fall was on the AEW Worlds End media call today, where he was asked whether The Devil will be revealed at the event on Saturday night.
“It feels like we’re getting close to finding out who The Devil is. I expect some big revelations and big moments at Worlds End,” Khan stated. “The secrets will be revealed, and I’m looking forward to it. It’s been very different from the rest of AEW this year, and I’ve been very excited about it. People who want to see that kind of episodic storytelling, and the identity of the Devil, and finding out that Samoa Joe is working with The Devil, added a whole new layer to it, especially heading into this match. Very excited for this match. MJF/Samoa Joe at Grand Slam was a great match, but now the stakes have been set, and the table is there for another great match with a different set of stakes.”
