Here's my theory:

It's Kyle O'Reilly.

For one, we have not heard shit about his recovery for a looong time but Cole has been back a while.

He might just be totaled, or they were appropriately waiting for the right moment to go back on track with the plans that were scrapped when both him and Adam were injured and Bobby Fish split because of the Punk shit.

AEW to my knowledge still own the Paragon trademark they filed that was speculated to be the trio/faction name for AEW's version of UE.

And Bobby may be involved too since let's be real, he ain't doing anything right now.

But Moloch, you say, why Kyle? Why not Adam? or Roddy?

Simple: because Adam will be in the ring, and Roddy is too obvious.

What I expect to happen is this:

Winter is Coming, Samoa Joe VS MJF. After a grueling match, MJF wins over Joe using the tape trick he used against punk, putting him in what looks like Joe's signature choke to add insult to injury.

This is mostly to protect Joe but also because in the end MJF is still fighting like a heel, and the finish against someone booked as strong as Joe should not be 100% clean, but the ring is played out and not as interesting.

After the match, in the ring, a recovering Adam Cole on crutches is celebrating with Max when the screen comes on, mirroring the time that MJF revealed himself after debuting the devil mask.

He pulls the mask off, the crowd pops cause it's announcing KOR's return, and as MJF turns to Adam he brains him with one of his crutches, revealing he was never injured and starting a 4 on 1 assault from Roddy and the kingdom, as KOR laughs from the titantron (bonus points if he calls him something like Mack instead of Max).

It is later revealed that no specific one of them was the Devil (they all have similar body sizes), they were all in on it and did this to wear down max and make sure he had no allies when the time came to strike.

World's End we get Adam VS MJF, and reDragon and Roddy vs The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn to ensure they can't interfere in the title match.

Paragon sweeps the night, going strong into the new year.

The kingdom gets a tag title shot against Starks and Big Bill, but they lose because obviously.
