Swerve Strickland loves the newest NXT Standout.
Swerve Strickland Talks Je’Von Evans
Je’Von Evans made waves on the independent scene as a teenager before signing to WWE NXT. Now, the Young OG has taken NXT by storm with his impressive athleticism and high-flying, bouncy, style. Recently, Je’Von even wrestled Randy Orton in the main event of WWE NXT in St. Louis, which was his biggest match to date.
Now, former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland spoke on The Rich Eisen Show where he mentioned NXT star Je’Von Evans, saying that Evans told him he got into wrestling after seeing him, and now, he’ll root for him no matter what.
I love Je’von Evans, shout out to you . . . Je’von, extremely talented. One of the greatest things i’ve ever heard in my career, still to this day, when i’m was on my 90 days I was doing seminars, Je’von was like 16/17 years old, and it was like 20 kids. . . I go to Je’von and you could tell that he was the standout of the class . . . He’s like honestly I got into wrestling from watching you vs Lio Rush in DEFY. So i’m “wow am I that far removed?
Earlier this year i’m in Tampa, 21 Savage invited me to a show he walks by and i’m watching and Je’von walks by he’s like 6’4 now and i’m “GOD DAMN BOY” he’s like humble, super humble kid, I love him to death. He just wrestled Randy Orton, killed it. AEW Dynamite doing its thing but man there are still people I have sentimental value in. I’m going to root for him no matter what he does or wherever he goes.
A match between the two would blow the roof off a building one day.
