Swerve Strickland Is A Fan of Je’Von Evans, Will Continue To Root For Him
In an interview with No Contest Wrestling (via Fightful), Swerve Strickland praised WWE NXT’s Je’Von Evans, noting that he is a fan and will continue to root for him in his career.
Swerve said: “I love Je’Von Evans, shoutout to you. I want to see some pain from you. Je’Von, extremely talented, one of the greatest things I ever heard in my career, still to do this day, when I was on my 90 days between WWE and AEW, I was doing seminars. I went up to North Carolina, and Je’Von was 16-17 years old, and there were 20 people. I asked everyone who they were, how old they were, what got them into wrestling, and what they want to do. I go around the room. I go to Je’Von, and you could tell he’s a standout of the class. He’s like, ‘Honestly, I got into wrestling from watching you versus Lio Rush in DEFY.’ Wow, am I that far removed? [laughs] Earlier this year, I’m in Tampa at a 21 Savage show and I’m watching. Je’Von Evans walks by, he’s like 6’4” now, ‘Goddamn man!’ He’s a specimen and super humble. I love him to death. I watch just to root for him. He just wrestled Randy Orton, killed it. Je’Von, I’m going to root for him no matter what he does or wherever he goes.“
