Je’Von Evans comments on winless record in WWE title matches

Je’Von Evans is staying patient as he awaits the first championship of his WWE career.

The up-and-coming NXT star was unsuccessful in yet another title match over the weekend, failing to win the AAA Cruiserweight Championship at Guerra de Titanes. Evans took part in a three-way match at the show where Laredo Kid pinned Jack Cartwheel to remain champion.

After the match, it was pointed out on social media that Evans now has a 0-12 record in televised title bouts since starting with WWE. Evans responded to the post but did not express any concern over his losses. Instead, they have been a learning experience for him.

“The Best And Better Opportunity Is When You’re Learning With The Legends You’ve Been In The Ring With,” the 21-year-old wrote. “I’ll Take That Over Any Championship Match”

Evans won the men’s Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline earlier this month and was supposed to challenge for the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil 2026. But he got his title shot early on the December 9 episode of NXT, losing to Oba Femi after Ricky Saints interfered. Femi will instead defend against Leon Slater at New Year’s Evil.

Tag team partners Evans & Slater lost to AJ Styles & Dragon Lee at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13. Highlighting NXT talent like Evans was an idea that John Cena had for his retirement show. In giving advice to younger stars, Cena stressed how important it is for them to treat their matches like a conversation with the audience and give the fans time to contribute to what’s going on in the ring.
