Je’Von Evans shares advice from Shawn Michaels
Je’Von Evans says some of the best advice he’s received in his career came from Shawn Michaels.
During an interview with Adrian Hernandez that was published on Saturday, Evans was asked what advice he’s been given over the years that has stuck with him. He responded that Michaels telling him to “just be yourself” is something he always takes with him.
Evans said:
“Just be yourself. That’s always that’s like the main thing. I always take that advice with me. And actually, Shawn Michaels, he told me that. When I first got to NXT, he told me, ‘Bro, just be yourself cause nobody’s doing it like you.’“
“We’re talking about like the greatest of all time telling me nobody’s doing it like you. So once he told me that, bro, it was a click, you know what I mean? Shawn sees something. And if he’s telling me that ‘Hey, you need to do this,’ I’m listening to Shawn.”
The 21-year-old is coming off competing in the men’s Elimination Chamber match at the United Center in Chicago on February 28. He has wrestled once since then, facing Dragon Lee at a Main Event taping on March 9, 2026.
