WWE star Je’Von Evans appeared on an episode of What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, where he discussed various topics, including the support Jacob Fatu provided when he reached the main roster in the company.
Evans said, “He’s somebody who helped me, especially when I first got up there, because we have a similar background when it comes to wrestling. We both came from the indies, so we know the grind. I think we met on the indies once and other than that, it was just us watching each other’s matches. We were big fans of each other. I was a big fan of Jacob and now, to see how he is, where he’s at and what position he’s in, it’s great. It’s just so cool to see.”
On knowing he wanted to wrestle:
“Honestly, I feel like it’s a feeling. You just know. Like, ‘All right, this is what I want to do.’”
On the moment that made him want to wrestle:
“From the jump. There was a moment I’ll always remember, and it was seeing — dang, what’s his name? I think his name’s Triple H, or some guy like that. He gave somebody a Pedigree through a table. And I remember seeing that and thinking, ‘Oh, this is what I want to do.’ And ever since then, it’s just been a grind for me.”
