EVIL Puts NXT Locker Room On Notice After Debut
EVIL has made his WWE debut during the April 28 episode of NXT, confronting NXT Champion Tony D'Angelo in a segment that introduced the former NJPW star to WWE audiences.
EVIL handed D'Angelo a scroll with Kanji written on it before he exited the ring. Tavion Heights and Will Kroos then attacked D'Angelo following the confrontation.
The wrestler kept his reaction brief on social media, posting a simple message following his first appearance on WWE television.
He wrote:
"I’ve Arrived."
WWE has not used EVIL's name on television yet and there is a possibility that his name could be changed.
The wrestler is a former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and the second-ever NJPW Triple Crown winner. Since 2021, he led Bullet Club's sub-unit known as the House Of Torture.
In January 2026, EVIL announced he would not renew his contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling and planned to explore opportunities elsewhere. His arrival in WWE NXT marks the next chapter of his career.
