Sheamus praises ‘incredible’ WWE NXT star following house show match
Sheamus has praise for one particular NXT talent.
Talking to Busted Open Radio, it was mentioned that Sheamus had been working NXT house shows this past week. On November 13, he defeated Je’Von Evans in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Celtic Warrior took time to give Evans his flowers, praising his athletic ability.
“Not only can he do athletic things, he looks like he’s bouncing on the moon, he’s got anti-gravity boots on,” Sheamus explained. “Took a beating and gave it back, and just you can see he’s just so excited to be there. He’s 21 years old, incredible.”
“He’s even put some muscle on as well, he’s bulked up a bit, and it hasn’t affected his athleticism or the stuff he does,” he added. “And also, he’s always smiling, he’s just so happy to be there.”
Evans has had some high profile matches in NXT, including wrestling Randy Orton. He will appear on Monday’s Raw as part of the Last Time Is Now tournament, taking on a returning Gunther. He will also team with TNA’s Leon Slater to challenge DarkState for the NXT Tag Team titles on the first night of Gold Rush this coming Tuesday.
