Adam Jones -- not to be confused with the founding Tool guitarist, who proposed to his then-girlfriend while attending a WWE pay-per-view and also played the national anthem at a different WWE pay-per-view -- has played for the Seattle Mariners and the Baltimore Orioles.

Jones has hit over 250 home runs and batted in over 800 runs within his MLB career, which includes five All-Star selections, four Gold Glove Awards, and a Silver Slugger Award. As with the aforementioned Curtis Granderson, Jones is also known for his off-the-field generosity, as a recipient of a Marvin Miller Man Of The Year Award and a hand-picked United States representative during the most recent World Baseball Classic.

Jones has appeared on WWE programming several times and even goes a step further with his cosplay efforts at live events. At the 2017 WWE pay-per-view Payback, Jones was shown on camera being dressed as Virgil, also having a prior cosplay experience as APA-era Ron Simmons to his credit.

Jones has also been called out on-air by The New Day and on the field by Seth Rollins, showing his willingness to get directly involved with some of the talents he is known to watch on a weekly basis.
