WWE NXT The Great American Bash Premium Live Event kicked off with the singles blockbuster between Je’Von Evans and Jasper Troy.
The entire bout was as expected, a clash of two different styles, and Troy is a powerhouse. At the same time, Evans is a certified high-flyer. Moreover, the Young OG entered the bout with already injured ribs. The 21-year-old star hit his ribs in a backstage brawl with the LFG winner on last week’s edition of NXT.
Troy entirely dominated the bout, taking advantage of Evans’ hurt ribs, relentlessly targeting the 21-year-old star throughout the bout with his vicious slams and attacks.
Je’Von Evans appeared to be seriously injured at some points during the punishing match. However, the 21-year-old superstar managed to collect himself toward the end of the bout and connected a Frog Splash on Troy, quickly recovered, and reversed Evans’ springboard move to a chokeslam.
As it seemed all over for The Young OG, and the LFG Winner was about to connect his finishing slam, using his in-ring intellect, Evans reversed Jasper’s maneuver and rolled him into a pin and captured the unexpected victory. This marked a shocking beginning of WWE The Great American Bash with an underdog capturing win despite being potentially injured.
