Block evasion from the block that was placed on the IP address. Clearly is the same person. Both "accounts" edit summaries are always very statement-esque. These edits are an example and, as well as them featuring an identical edit summary. They always say stuff like "Welcome to ______" or "_______ signed with" in the edit summaries.

 * Another one. Upon further looking I found . Edit summaries are also very similar. "Welcome to ______" stuff like that. That account was also blocked for a period, but not sure there was block evasion. I checked the WHOIS, both IPs originate from the same country it seems as well.

 * The 84... IP has been reported at AIV for deliberate factual errors after final warning. The account should be blocked too since they also had a final warning previous to this edit. StaticVapor message me!   23:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

 * I think it's clear from the interaction timeline that all three are the same person. There's no overlap in time between the two IP addresses, the 185. address hasn't edited since 19 February, so probably a dynamic IP that the user no longer has. Mikbenu has been editing during the recent week-long block of the 84. IP, but only for the last day of it - they respected the block for the first 6 days, but it was the last day when they decided to evade, it seems. I've spot-checked a few of their favorite articles and I don't see any other evidence of block evasion using any other accounts or IPs. The IP block expires in 5 hours, so I don't think it's worth blocking the user account for the remainder of the IP block. I'll warn the user to be more careful to log in before editing, to cite sources, and absolutely not to evade blocks. I'll also note that the user account claims to be "Social Manager of WWE", so maybe they need a COI warning as well. ST47 (talk) 15:26, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Master for 1 month due to using the IP sock to continue to add unsourced content after receiving a final warning. IP address already blocked for 1 month. ST47 (talk) 01:37, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Very clearly same user. Similar edit summaries such as "_____ headed to NXT". User also gives away name as Mikhail on User talk: Mikbenu. StaticVapor message me!   03:42, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Name seems oddly familiar, more so than the case in the archive would imply. Are there any more socks that got blocked outside of SPI? Anyway, . ST47 (talk) 04:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Already reported to AIV for a quick block. This is here for the record or if it is not obvious enough for that noticeboard. Clear WP:DUCK based on username and edit summaries. StaticVapor message me!   17:31, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
