The Young OG got the better of El Grande in his in-ring debut on January 12 and faced each other in a rematch a week later. This time, El Grande Americano came out on top due to the referee’s decision after Evans sustained a head injury during the match.

The match was stopped, and Evans wasn’t allowed to compete further, handing his opponent the win. Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Je’Von Evans detailed why the match was stopped.

“So basically, I think before we went to commercial, me and Americano butt heads, and for a couple seconds I was like seeing stars or whatever. But I’m from the indie scene. You get hurt, you keep going unless you can’t go no more. So we butt heads, and I was kind of stunned for a little minute. But then I continued, and then we went to break, and so I went to the ref. I’m like, ‘Hey, look, I’m seeing stars, but I’m good,’” he said.

At this point, the referee decided to call the medical team to the ring despite Evans’ reluctance. The medical team assessed the 22-year-old star and realized he was not 100%, and the match was stopped.

“He’s (referee) like, ‘What?’ And then I’m like, ‘I was seeing stars, but I’m okay.’ He said, ‘Do we need to call medical?’ I’m like, ‘No, no, we don’t. I just got here, dude. I’m okay.’ Then he’s like, ‘No, we gotta call medical because it’s a head injury.’ So we got medical, and then they were asking me questions, and I was like, I promise, I’m okay. But because we hit heads and because I was seeing stars, they had to call it,” he added.

Je’Von Evans reveals he wasn’t ready for the WWE main roster

Je’Von Evans is among a number of talent that has been called up to the WWE main roster this year. Evans signed with RAW in January and has been competing on the brand since.

On INSIGHT, he was asked whether he felt ready when the call-up happened. He said that he wasn’t ready and felt he needed to spend more time in NXT to learn.

Evans said he wanted to beat Oba Femi for the NXT championship and learn how to carry a brand. He said that it would’ve been useful for him if WWE planned to put him in the same spot in the future on the main roster.
