EVIL Expected to Sign with WWE After NJPW Exit

TLDR

EVIL's contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling expires at the end of January 2026 and he will not be renewing, with WWE widely expected to be his next destination. Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer discussed the potential move, comparing EVIL's expected WWE ceiling to that of Rusev and noting that EVIL's relationship with WWE star IYO SKY could be a personal factor in a move to the United States.
