MJF Thinks He Hates Adam Cole Look-Alike Trenton Irwin

Trenton Irwin might be making sports headlines for signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but wrestling fans were quick to notice something else—he looks almost exactly like AEW’s Adam Cole. And nobody’s more annoyed by that than Cole’s former best friend turned bitter enemy, MJF.

After Tony Khan welcomed Irwin to the Jaguars with a playful tweet, fans had a field day pointing out the uncanny resemblance.

“Welcome to the @Jaguars, Trenton Irwin! There’s something very familiar about you… can’t quite put my finger on it…” Khan wrote.

MJF, never one to let anything slide, wasted no time chiming in. He made it crystal clear how he felt about the Adam Cole doppelgänger. “Idk why…..but I think I hate this guy.”

That might sound random—unless you’ve been following MJF’s ongoing war with Cole, which dates back to AEW Worlds End when Cole revealed himself as “The Devil” and attacked MJF with the Undisputed Kingdom. What followed was a whirlwind of betrayal, broken ankles, and bruised egos.

The saga saw Cole turning heel and aligning with Roderick Strong, while MJF was forced to step away due to injury. Their feud reignited at Double or Nothing when MJF made his return and launched another attack on Cole. It’s no surprise MJF would lash out at anyone even remotely resembling his arch-nemesis.

So when a wide receiver with Adam Cole’s jawline signs to a team owned by Tony Khan? That’s a trigger. MJF’s heat for Cole runs deep, and if Irwin looks anything like him, he’s apparently catching strays.
