IYO SKY & Naraku (EVIL) Officially Announce Marriage

Sunday’s episode of Japanese documentary series “Jounetsu Tairiku” featured IYO SKY and NXT talent Naraku, former EVIL in NJPW, officially announcing their marriage.

SKY posted a message earlier today on Twitter about her marriage to Naraku.

“To everyone who always gives us such warm support,

This is a private matter, but we would like to report that NARAKU (formerly EVIL), who belongs to WWE, and IYO SKY (formerly Io Shirai), also of WWE, are husband and wife.

We each began walking the path of professional wrestling in Japan, and although we have seen different scenery and different “skies,” from this early summer onward, we are deeply grateful and happy to be colleagues and comrades challenging ourselves on the same stage of WWE across the sea.

From now on, as husband and wife, we will support each other in our daily lives. And as WWE ‘superstars,’ while sharing both lonely “darkness” and glory, we will continue to improve one another and devote ourselves so that each of us can shine even brighter.

We will not forget our gratitude to all the fans who have supported and guided us up to now, and to everyone involved, and together we will keep pushing forward toward even greater heights.

We are still immature as a couple, but we sincerely ask for your continued guidance and support.

In a recent interview with the Model Press, SKY gave her thoughts about why her and Naraku decided to inform fans about their marriage now.

“We haven’t actually registered our marriage just yet, but the reason is that we’ve finally become colleagues at the same company. Until now, we were in different rings, and as wrestlers and superstars, we were independent of each other, so I felt there was no need to deliberately share details of our private lives. Now that we’re both under the same WWE contract—colleagues within the same company, so to speak—I really wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone know that we’re now a married couple.”

SKY and Naraku also gave their thoughts about being WWE’s first Japanese couple.

Naraku – “I’ve only just started, so stay tuned for what’s to come.”

IYO SKY – “Although I’m the senior WWE Superstar and have been in the U.S. longer, staying on the front lines competing against the world in a foreign country like America is truly, truly grueling. I’m so happy that we’ve created an environment where we can support each other through that life as a couple. We plan to continue working hard together, supporting one another without letting our guard down, and pushing each other to grow even stronger.”
