WIW New Years Evil is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WIW for their Rage and ShowDown brand divisions. It is scheduled to take place on January 1, 2022, at the Montana Sports Arena in Butte, Montana. It will be the company's first pay-per-view event to take place on New Year's Day. The event's title alludes to its New Year's scheduling and is the first PPV to have the New Year's theme since New Year's Bash in 2007 and New Year's Evil in 2011 (which was renamed World War in 2012). The scheduling of New Years Evil caused the cancelation of WIW's previously annual event, TLC: Christmas Horror Feast.

Production
Background
On July 23, 2021, the American professional wrestling promotion WIW announced that it would be holding a pay-per-view (PPV) event on Saturday, January 1, 2022, at the Montana Sports Arena in Butte, Montana, which would feature wrestlers from the Rage and ShowDown brands. On August 24, 2021, it was revealed that the event was titled New Years Evil due to it taking place on New Year's Day. This marks WIW's first PPV event to take place on New Year's. Tickets went on sale on August 27, 2021. The company previously ran an event called New Years Bash from 2005 to 2007 and New Years Evil from 1999 to 2011, before renaming the event World war, but they were held shortly after New Year's Day or in late January.
The scheduling of New Years Evil caused WIW to cancel their annual TLC: Christmas Horror Feast event (while also announcing TLC would return in 2022), which had been scheduled for December 19, 2021. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that TLC was canceled to allow WIW to focus on New Years Evil after November's Soul Survivor. There would have also only been two weeks between TLC and New Years Evil, followed by the World War in late January.
Storylines
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands, while storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage and Saturday Night ShowDown.
