WWE NXT Superstar Je\'Von Evans has shared his appreciation for the support shown him following a racist comment by an infamous podcast.
During the April 9, episode of WWE NXT, Evans made his in-ring debut as part of the gold brand with a hard-earned victory over Scrypts. Between this and a promo package that aired during WWE NXT Stand & Deliver, the future looks very bright for the 19-year-old Superstar.
On his podcast, Kevin Scampoli made disgusting comments when watching a post-match interview with Evans. Scampoli said that Evans is a \"slave\" and was working under \"some off-camera Jew.\" This comment earned countless responses from fans as well as some in the wrestling industry as you can see below.

Responding to this wave of support, Je\'Von tweeted his appreciation, but believes it\'s now time to \"get back to work.\" The young Superstar also promoted an upcoming WWE Live appearance.

Following this support for Evans, Scampoli also responded, saying that Evans was no longer considered a \"slave\" but instead a \"house n*****\" and did not censor his use of the word. Because of the clearly unacceptable language, a clip will not be shared here.

Scampoli\'s comments represent his work attitude and the fact that he can only get attention for being controversial rather than providing constructive insight into the world of professional wrestling. Scampoli previously got attention for himself for mocking Kayla Braxton for being conceived when her mother was the victim of r*pe.
Scampoli was also part of the infamous podcast episode with Sammy Guevara in which the pair discussed wanting to r*pe Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks at the time.) Guevara would be suspended from AEW, undergo a sensitivity course and would apologize for his comments. There have been no issues between himself and Mone as he, unlike Scampoli, clearly learned from his behavior.
