Je’Von Evans Comments on Shawn Michaels Pushed for WWE To Sign Him After 2023 Tryout

A recent episode of the No Count Wrestling Podcast featured Je’Von Evans as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Evans’ thoughts about his signing with WWE in 2023 and how WWE SVP of NXT and Talent Relations Shawn Michaels had pushed for the company to sign him after the company originally wasn’t going to do.

“Gotta thank Shawn, bro. Shawn Michaels, for sure. I feel like he was the person that really looked out for me because during my tryout, apparently I wasn’t gonna get signed, right? But Shawn saw something in me. I was too young, I was smaller at the time, so there was a lot of people that wanted me to kind of get older and bigger. Shawn was like, ‘No, just trust me.’ Everybody trusted him and now he’s like one of my go-to people, you know what I mean? You gotta thank Shawn for sure.”
