Speaking to WrestleRant, The Young OG was asked about a match against Oba Femi. Evans, in kayfabe, said he needs to win a singles match against The Ruler, as he was very close in their match at NXT Heavtwave 2025. Evans reminded everyone that he’s come very close before and wants to get that win over Femi.

“That is true. I feel like that is a match that I do need because I just haven’t beaten him one-on-one, and I haven’t got the opportunity to run it back. Let’s be real, okay? A lot of people don’t know this, but there are only two people that have pinned Oba [Femi] longer than three seconds. Brock Lesnar and Je’Von Evans… It’s crazy to think about, you know, because everytime I pinned him, either the referee got involved or somebody got involved,” Evans said.

What’s next for Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans on WWE RAW?

Earlier this year, Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams from NXT joined WWE’s main roster under Triple H’s creative regime before WrestleMania 42 in Nevada. The Ruler went on to defeat Brock Lesnar at The Showcase of the Immortals, and Tricky Willy defeated Sami Zayn at the event to win the United States Championship.

While Evans was in a Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, The Young OG didn’t win. Femi is still on the red brand and started a feud with The Vision. Meanwhile, Trick Williams started his second run as the United States Champion on the blue brand. Je’Von Evans is yet to win a title but will compete in a Triple Threat match against Big Cass and Austin Theory to qualify for the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder match.
