Production

Background

New Year's Evil is a professional wrestling event currently produced by WWE. It was used for a special episode of WCW Monday Nitro on December 27, 1999; WWE acquired World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 2001. After 21 years since that WCW event, WWE revived the name for their January 6, 2021 episode of NXT. At NXT WarGames, it was announced that the second edition of NXT: New Year's Evil would be held on January 4, 2022.[1][2]

Storylines

NXT: New Year's Evil will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
