Aaron Wolf To Debut Against EVIL At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20

Aaron Wolf is set to make his in-ring debut against EVIL at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 on January 4, 2026.
From NJPW:
At King of Pro-Wrestling Monday in Ryogoku, EVIL became a four time NEVER Openweight Champion thanks to the efforts of his HOUSE OF TORTURE cohorts and a thoroughly stacked deck against Boltin Oleg.
In the aftermath of the bout, H.O.T looked to add further insult to injury with a post match attack, but were left furious after Aaron Wolf, who had been watching from ringside, could stand no more. The Olympic gold medalist judoka hit the ring and sent SHO, Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Dick Togo flying with take downs and a body slam before staring down the King of Darkness.
Backstage, Wolf said that he had acted on instinct in getting into the ring, and requested a match against EVIL for his debut on January 4 2026 in the Tokyo Dome. EVIL would retort backstage that if ‘you’re ready to die, I’m willing to crush you’.
While EVIL is not willing to put his NEVER Openweight title on the line, he is apparently eager to take on Aaron Wolf one on one! A special singles matchup is now official as the first entry to the Tokyo Dome card January 4!
Here is the current lineup for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20:
NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 (1/4)
