Tony Khan delivered on his promise and ended the year on a high as more drama culminated at the conclusion of Worlds End PPV on December 30th. At the core of the drama is Adam Cole who not only turned on his former best friend, but also on the fans while pledging his allegiances to another one just a few hours later.

Adam Cole finds a new best friend after ditching MJF

Former WWE superstar Roderick Strong posted a picture on X on December 31st where he was standing beside his best friend Adam Cole, as revealed by the tweet “My best friend.” The picture was taken by photographer Ryan Loco and has more hidden stories than you can imagine.

To start, it was taken immediately after the Worlds End PPV, the last PPV by AEW of 2023 that culminated with a shocking ending. After months of drama surrounding the Devil, AEW lifted curtains on the big mystery, revealing it was Adam Cole all along.

With the revelations, Cole has not only shattered his friendship with former AEW World Champion, MJF (yes, you heard it right) but also marked the end of his face run. He is now the head of the biggest heel faction in AEW.

Not only did Cole turn on AEW fans, but he also cost MJF the World title during his match against Samoa Joe at the main event. It was revealed a few days ago that Joe had the support of the Devil after the Devil’s henchmen attacked MJF. But, given Adam Cole’s struggles and despair to win the World title, it makes sense that he was the man behind the mask.

The revelation brings a complete end to the story and a befitting end to the year as we head towards a new start, a new chapter.
