Backstage News On Top NJPW Star Rumored To Be Exploring His Options Outside The Company

According to Fightful Select, top NJPW star and leader of the House of Torture, EVIL, may be considering options outside of the company based on some internal rumors.

The report also mentioned that AEW is not expected to be one of EVIL's potential destinations since AEW President Tony Khan is reportedly not a fan of his work. As of now, EVIL has not commented on these rumors.

EVIL has spent the entirety of his career with NJPW, except for a two-year excursion to ROH in 2014 and 2015. He joined the NJPW Dojo in 2011 and made his in-ring debut for the company in May of that year. Throughout his time in NJPW, he has held several titles, including the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, the IWGP Tag Team Titles twice, and the NEVER Openweight Championship four times.

Recently, he lost the NEVER Openweight Title to Aaron Wolf at Wrestle Kingdom 20 on Sunday.
