AEW brought out a lot of interesting elements on their card, as we inch closer to the marquee PLE: Full Gear. The most interesting aspect that has played out throughout AEW programming is the identity of the mystery devil.

There has been a lot of speculation on who could be the illusive devil under the mask going around a current storyline but no clear answer has come to the surface. The wrestling legion expects an answer to the character’s identity during the upcoming PPV. Nevertheless, former Impact star Kenny King’s release provided us with a massive hint.

Kenny King’s Impact release might quench the long-grown curiosity of AEW fans

Rumors mill heavily tipped Punk to be the mysterious AEW Devil. However, the possibility of that scenario playing out remains low. There are also a couple of entities who have recently been ruled out as the most wanted AEW devil.

However, with this elimination, another suspect has crept into the scene and that’s none other than former Impact Wrestling star Kenny King. According to the latest report, Impact released King from his contract after he spent two long years in the Impact ring.

His previous affinity with ROH also lends credence to the theory. King has proved his mettle across wrestling, especially, during his storied rivalry against Bobby Lashley in TNA wrestling. Now being that King is a free agent now, chances are high that he could be revealed as AEW’s devil.

However, the former AEW World Champion, Nyla Rose, has a different name in her head as the devil.

Nyla Rose predicted an unexpected name as the ‘Devil’

After Brit Baker and CM Punk were removed the board by some veterans, Nyla Rose came up with another unexpected name as the hidden assailant. Rose, who has gained immense popularity for her wise yet comedic chops on social media, recently name-dropped fellow star Red Velvet as a prime suspect.

However, her take appears as nothing more than a random assumption and not an educated guess. The mystery still continues and we need to see who finally unveils himself/herself. While the options are many, Kenny King looks viable to us.
