WWE is reportedly still trying to decide on what EVIL’s new ring name will be, despite a recent trademark filing suggesting the company had already made a choice. The conflicting signals underscore the complexities of rebranding a talent while balancing legal filings and creative direction.

While the trademark activity suggested a definitive move, sources indicate no final name has been officially adopted and discussions are ongoing. Fans should expect WWE to confirm the new moniker once the company completes its internal decision-making and branding steps.

WWE has announced four new additions to its Performance Center rookie class, headlined by Zoe Hines, the niece of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actress Cheryl Hines. A Boston College graduate and former college softball player who has represented France at both senior and U22 levels, Hines participated in last year’s SummerSlam weekend tryouts and was reported to have signed with WWE earlier this year.

Joining Hines are Alyssa Daniele, who attended January tryouts and has a background in modeling; Garrett Beck, a former lacrosse player at Grand Canyon University who signed a WWE NIL deal nearly a year ago; and Nicholas Panicali, a former Sacred Heart University volleyball standout. WWE NXT unveiled the quartet via social post on April 29, 2026.
