The match was highly entertaining, with both stars bringing top-notch offense. But a spot in the match left the Young OG fearing the worst.

Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Je’Von Evans recalled being worried about taking the masked luchador’s chops ahead of the match. However, an attempted dive to the outside is what left him with an injury.

He said Penta was supposed to catch him and throw him over the announce table, but a miscalculation meant he nearly broke his back.

“I almost broke my back in that match too. We did something to where he went on the outside, and I was trying to go for a dive. I hit the ropes, and he was going to catch me and throw me over the announce table. But I think the table was like far, so he tried to grab me, and I tried to push off his shoulder, but it just didn’t go off well,” he said.

Evans said once he realized he wouldn’t make it, he knew he had to shift his movement.

“I saw the table and I was like, ‘Okay, I’m not making it over.’ I’m either going to eat the table with my face or my chest, or I’ve got to shift my body. So, I shifted my body, and literally, my tailbone, my exact tailbone, hit the edge of the table…That was probably like one of the worst things I’ve ever felt in wrestling,” he added.

Je’Von Evans reveals why match against El Grande Americano was stopped

During the discussion on INSIGHT, Je’Von Evans also opened up on why his match against El Grande Americano on RAW was stopped by the referee back in January.

The match was only the second main roster bout for Evans but was halted, with the referee giving the win to El Grande.

Je’Von Evans explained that there was a collision of heads that had left him dazed. He said he told the referee he was “seeing stars” but wanted to continue the match.

However, the ref called the medical team to the ring, and they decided he wasn’t fit enough to continue the match.
