Je’Von Evans officially joins WWE Raw during commercial break

Je’Von Evans has been sporadically appearing on WWE’s main roster shows for months, but on Monday, he joined the Raw roster on a full-time basis.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce brought Evans out before the crowd in the Barclays Center during a commercial break. He called Evans “one of the most exciting prospects to ever come through WWE” and said he wanted to bring Evans out live to sign his contract and become part of the Raw roster. 

Evans immediately signed and Pearce declared it was official. Later on, Paul “Triple H” Levesque posted a backstage pic with Evans and his new contract.

Evans had been spotted earlier in the day on Becky Lynch’s vlog (along with fellow NXT wrestler Nikkita Lyons). He went on to wrestle Julius Creed before Raw in a match taped for WWE Main Event.

Evans, whose real name is Malachi Jeffers, had his first wrestling match at age 14 with Fire Star Pro Wrestling in 2018. He signed with WWE in 2023 and made his NXT television debut in April of 2024. In nearly two years since, he has appeared regularly on NXT while also wrestling on Raw and SmackDown, and for AAA and TNA. 

When asked to comment on Evans signing his contract during a commercial break, our own Bryan Alvarez replied, “Lololololol.”
