Swerve Strickland is rooting for Je'Von Evans' success in WWE
A few weeks back in an interview, Swerve Strickland opened up about seeing Je'Von Evans climb up the ladder in the wrestling business. The AEW star also praised Evans' match against Randy Orton from back in October and added that he was rooting for his long-term success in the Stamford-based promotion.
“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 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?'”
Going by the events on this week's NXT, it's safe to assume the creative team has planned a heated feud between Ethan Page and Je'Von Evans for 2025.
