Je'Von Evans is now officially a WWE Raw Superstar.
During a commercial break on the January 6, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw from Brooklyn, New York, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce signed Evans to a main roster contract, confirming him as a full-time member of the red brand.
The signing concludes weeks of storyline positioning that saw the 21-year-old portrayed as a "soon to be free agent" fielding interest from both Raw and SmackDown. Evans defeated Rayo Americano on Raw in December and was scheduled to meet with Pearce afterward to discuss his future.

Evans has been one of NXT's hottest prospects since his television debut in April 2024. The Greensboro, North Carolina native won the 2024 Iron Survivor Challenge and was named NXT Male Superstar of the Year for 2025. His triple threat match against Oba Femi and Trick Williams at NXT Stand & Deliver also won Match of the Year honors.
"The Young OG" received significant main roster exposure in recent months, including a featured spot at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII, where John Cena selected him to team with Leon Slater.
