As if 2020 couldn't get any crazier, EVIL is now the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion.
EVIL defeated Tetsuya Naito in the main event of NJPW Dominion, capturing both IWGP belts. Of course, EVIL didn't do it alone as he had help from a man wearing a BUSHI mask. The masked man turned out to be Dick Togo, who has now joined Bullet Club. Togo choked out Naito with wire cables, allowing EVIL to finish off Naito with Everything is EVIL.
It's been an eventful 24 hours for EVIL, who won the New Japan Cup, turned his back on Naito and Los Ingobernables de Japon to join Bullet Club, and then defeated Naito to become the new IWGP Double Champion.

This marks EVIL's first reign as IWGP Heavyweight or Intercontinental Champion. Naito won the IWGP Intercontinental Title at night one of Wrestle Kingdom 14 and then won the IWGP Heavyweight Title to become a double champion the following night at Wrestle Kingdom 14 night two.
