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.

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.
