Je’Von Evans says coming face-to-face with Chris Jericho at Royal Rumble would be insane.
The former AEW World Champion has been rumored to make his WWE return for a while but there is no confirmation on when it will actually happen. With Royal Rumble being the PPV of surprise appearances and debuts, Y2J's name has obviously been thrown around.
During a recent interview with the Cheap Heat podcast, Je’Von Evans, who would be entering the battle royal for the first time in his career this Saturday, was asked how he would react if Jericho showed up at the Rumble. The 21-year-old mentioned that he grew up watching the wrestling veteran so sharing the ring with him would be insane:
“Probably, honestly, I don’t know. So honestly, I’m either gonna hear it (the theme) and just be in the middle of the ring and just see if I go to blows with him. Bro, it would be insane. Insane. So I’ve never met him, but, like I said, growing up watching him, it would be insane.”
Je’Von Evans also talked about wrestling some matches on AEW Dark before being signed by WWE. The high flyer mentioned that he didn't think WWE would sign him at a young age and he accepted the opportunity to wrestle for AEW as a way to get his name out there.
While Jericho's wrestling future remains uncertain, there is another former AEW Champion who is believed to be set for a Royal Rumble debut. You can check out more about it here.
