EVIL is leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling. Fightful reported a number of weeks ago that EVIL was looking to possibly exit NJPW, and evaluating his options outside of the company after being there for over a decade. That has been confirmed, as he is leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling.When evaluating options outside of NJPW, WWE and other Japanese companies are the likely options. EVIL has been backstage at a number of WWE events, supporting those close to him, and we’re told that there have been talks between the two sides. Those we spoke to in NJPW expect there to be options for him in Japan, but they expect him to try to relocate to the United States.AEW is not expected as a landing point.
