WWE Superstar Je’Von Evans is laser-focused on capturing the Intercontinental Championship despite recent setbacks.

The Young OG has been involved in the IC Title picture on Monday Night RAW since debuting on the main roster earlier this year. He was a part of the Six-Pack Ladder Match for the gold at WrestleMania 42, but he failed to capture the title. Later, he unsuccessfully challenged Penta for the championship on RAW.

Last month, Evans participated in a Gauntlet Match with a shot at the prestigious title on the line. However, despite his best efforts, he failed to win that match. Despite these setbacks, Je’Von remains focused in his pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship, as he feels winning that title is a great way to kick off a “Hall of Fame” career.

Speaking to MuscleManMalcolm recently, Je’Von Evans said the following:

“I feel like it’s just a title that’s good to start off a legacy career. A Hall of Fame career, honestly. I feel like I have a lot of goals and accomplishments that I want to accomplish. I feel like one of those are a great way to start off is to get the IC belt.”

Evans was in action on this week’s RAW. He defeated Ethan Page in a back-and-forth singles match. However, his celebration was cut-short by a returning Big Cass, who ambushed him to send a message to the locker room.
