Je’Von Evans Discusses The Moment That Could Have Led To His WWE Signing

WWE NXT star Jeโ€™Von Evans recently spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics including how an appearance at Game Changer Wrestlingโ€™s For The Culture event during WrestleMania week in 2023 may have led to his WWE signing.

Evans said, โ€œI wasnโ€™t originally booked, but my friend was wrestling on the card and he couldnโ€™t make it, so I asked if I could take his place. The promoter said I could, and I was like say less, one of the agents for WWE was at that show, and we spoke after the match.โ€

โ€œGabe saw me in this elimination match, and after I got eliminated, he met me at the curtain, he was like we need to exchange info right now.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve been telling friends since the third grade I was going to be a WWE wrestler. My teachers would get mad at me, telling me I needed a back-up plan, or I should go to college, but I didnโ€™t listen.โ€
