WWE says Je’Von Evans is a ‘soon to be free agent’ on the main roster
Je’Von Evans will soon be a free agent.
During Monday’s Raw, it was emphasized that while Evans is still part of NXT, he will soon be a free agent entertaining offers from both Raw and SmackDown. Prior to his match against Rayo Americano on Monday, Pearce told Evans he wanted to talk further after his match to discuss his future. The NXT star proceeded to win his match, building further momentum.
Evans, 21, has been making more appearances on the main roster over the last several months, wrestling on both SmackDown and Raw. He recently took part in John Cena’s Last Time Is Now tournament, losing a hard-fought match to Gunther. At Saturday Night’s Main Event earlier this month, he teamed with TNA’s Leon Slater against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in a losing effort.
In recent weeks on NXT, Evans has been feuding with Ricky Saints, who turned against him during a NXT Championship match against Oba Femi, costing him a chance at the title. On last week’s show, Saints was cutting a promo explaining his actions when Evans came in and the two brawled, leading to a pull-apart by security.
