EVIL gets his WWE name

Leading into this week’s episode of NXT television, reports made the rounds that EVIL was listed within WWE under his real name but the expectation was he would go by “Nox Raijin” while with the company. After all, a trademark was filed for it the same day he signed.

However, it looks like they are going a different direction, per the following video hyping him for next week’s show:

“I made my name in my home country. I’ve face and defeated many great competitors. I’ve won many titles but the soul of a warrior is never satisfied. NXT is entering a new era of great opportunity. This is my moment to strike. Tony, you sit at the top of NXT with the biggest prize in NXT, a prize I want. I did not present you with a gift, I presented you with a proclamation. One day you and I will do battle or the NXT championship. It is written in the rising sun.”

EVIL proclaimed he would square up with NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo one day before a graphic came in saying “Naraku debuts next week.” It would seem, then, that he now has his name.
