WWE NXT 2.0 has announced when NXT New Year's Evil will be returning! NXT 2.0 has shaken up quite a lot about the program than fans had seen when it was the "Black and Gold" brand, but one thing that has stuck around are the special themed events. We had seen 2.0's take on Halloween Havoc, and now we are in the midst of seeing the new take on the classic WarGames pay-per-view. But the next special event has already been lined up for next year as NXT 2.0 will be kicking off the new year in a big way. 

WWE NXT confirmed during the WarGames pay-per-view that New Year's Evil will be returning as the first major event of 2022, and will actually mark the very first new NXT 2.0 episode of the year.

Following the major Day 1 pay-per-view event coming from the WWE kicking off the year on January 1st, and fans will have a lot of great wrestling to kick off 2022!
