Je’Von Evans on upcoming Last Time Is Now tournament match: ‘I’m so blessed’
Je’Von Evans is excited about his upcoming Raw match.
Evans will take on a returning Gunther this Monday on WWE Raw in an opening round match in the Last Time Is Now tournament. Talking to Yahoo Sports, Evans considered it a blessing to take part in the tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent.
“I’ve always been a fan of Cena, especially me being younger. He always played to the younger fans. I’m so blessed to be in this position and have this opportunity,” he said. “There’s a picture of my first WWE event — I’m wearing John Cena’s headband and wrist joints. This is insane.”
“I know that the process to get into [Cena’s final match] is going to be trouble, for sure,” he added. “It’s going to be mountains, it’s going to be speed bumps, but I’m willing to get there. Whatever I need to do, whatever I’ve got to do, whatever helps me get to that match, to have that match with Cena, I’m ready to take all that on.”
Evans has a busy week ahead of him. In addition to his match on Raw, he and TNA’s Leon Slater will challenge DarkState for the NXT Tag Team titles on this coming Tuesday’s NXT Gold Rush, which will be held at The Theatre in Madison Square Garden.
