Miz praises ‘really special’ WWE star Je’Von Evans
The Miz sees Je’Von Evans as a truly special star who has unlimited potential in WWE.
Last month, the two worked together with Evans defeating Miz on SmackDown. The 45-year-old veteran came away from that experience very impressed with Evans. If Evans stays on the right track and avoids major injuries, Miz sees him having an incredible career.
“I was with Je’Von Evans and I was like — no one really knows him, right? Like, people know him, NXT, you know who he is. But the masses don’t know who he is,” Miz said on Insight with Chris Van Vliet. “So we have to really make this kid, because he’s special. He truly is. If you’ve watched him and you feel his energy, the kid has an infectious smile. He’s got charisma, he’s got the ability — and he’s young. He’s young. I was like, ‘Man, this kid’s 21? Imagine what he’s going to be like when he’s 25.’ He might be bored because he’s so good at this age. I was like, man, if this kid can keep elevating himself, keep getting bigger, keep just focusing, locking in, don’t mess up, don’t get injured. This kid can be something really special in this business.”
When Evans defeated Miz on the December 12 episode of SmackDown, WWE referred to it as the biggest win of his career so far. Evans is now a member of the WWE Raw roster after being called up from NXT. He worked a match on this week’s episode in Germany, defeating Bravo Americano (Tyler Bate).
