Je’Von Evans says that he feels blessed by being able to learn from the greats like Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, John Cena and more. The WWE Smackdown star has been open about how much advice he’s received from the veterans in WWE, something he spoke about on All the Smoke.

Evans spoke about the mentoring he received from Michaels when he was in NXT and named a number of other veterans who are “looking out” for him. You can see the highlights below:

On Shawn Michaels Mentoring Him In NXT:

“Oh, bro, it’s a blessing, you feel me? Not every day you could say that one of your mentors or like, your top mentor is Shawn Michaels. And bro, he just [has] got so much knowledge and so many years in WWE, and just in wrestling in general. Like, he’s helped me change my mind, my thought process about wrestling.”

On Getting Mentored By Other Veterans:

“Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. Of course, we got Fit Finlay in NXT. And you’ve got Randy Orton — that’s like crazy to say Randy Orton is my mentor. John Cena, Roman, Seth, like these are guys that are looking over me.

“And like I said earlier, bro, I’m gonna keep on saying it. It’s such a blessing. I’m just honored to be in this position. I know it’s gonna get better and better.”
