Iyo Sky and NARAKU—formerly known as EVIL—posted a joint statement confirming they are married. Both are currently with WWE, and they say they will start sharing the same stage in WWE “starting this early summer.” The announcement came May 17, 2026, on Iyo Sky
A quiet personal moment has turned into a headline for wrestling fans: Iyo Sky and NARAKU—formerly EVIL—have confirmed they are married.
In a joint statement published to Iyo Sky’s Twitter/X account. the couple opened by thanking supporters who have “always given us your warm support.” The post stressed that the news is “a private matter. ” then moved directly to the announcement: “we would like to announce that NARAKU (formerly EVIL) and IYO SKY (formerly 紫雷イオ). both currently with WWE. are married.”
They described starting their pro wrestling journeys in Japan and said they “each walked our own paths with different colors and ‘skies. ’” before pointing to a change in the near future.. “Starting this early summer. ” the statement said. they would “be stepping onto the same stage across the ocean in WWE as colleagues and comrades.” The message added that they feel “a deep connection and joy about this.”
From there. the tone turned explicitly personal and lived-in: “From now on. as husband and wife. we will support each other in our daily lives.” They also promised to “share both the lonely struggles and the glory. ” lift one another up as WWE “superstars. ” and “strive to shine even brighter together.”
Gratitude remained a constant theme as the post looked back at the people who helped shape their careers.. “We will never forget the gratitude we feel toward all the fans who have supported and guided us up to this point. as well as everyone involved with us.” It ended with a forward-looking pledge to “continue advancing toward even greater heights. ” while also acknowledging the reality of their new status: “Though we are still an inexperienced couple. we humbly ask for your continued guidance and encouragement going forward.”
The date on the statement is May 17, 2026, followed by “NARAKU(EVIL)” and “IYO SKY(紫雷イオ).” A post on the same account shared a photo captioned with “✨ Mr and Mrs ✨” featuring both handles: @151012EVIL and @Iyo_SkyWWE.
The statement keeps circling the same line—Japan roots, separate paths, and then “starting this early summer” the shift into shared space in WWE—tying together the personal announcement of marriage with the professional promise of standing side by side as “colleagues and comrades.”
For now, the wrestling world is left with a clear timeline and a clear request: fans can celebrate the union, but the couple is also asking for continued support as they adjust to life “as husband and wife,” while they head into that next chapter together on the WWE stage.

Wait so they’re married married?? I saw the “Mr and Mrs” thing and figured it was fan edits lol.
NARAKU used to be EVIL right? I’m not gonna lie, I totally missed that whole name change. Anyway “same stage across the ocean” sounds like they’re gonna be a tag team or something.
“Private matter” but also posted on X with two handles so which one is it 😅 Also “starting this early summer” like WWE scheduling magic or something? I swear wrestling couples always do this right before a big match.
I don’t even watch WWE like that but I saw the headline and was like ok so EVIL is back??? Then it’s like marriage announcement?? I’m confused because I thought EVIL was a whole gimmick, not a person getting married. Either way good for them I guess, just feels wild timing with everything going on.
