WWE NXT’s Je’Von Evans has impressed plenty of people during his run so far, and now he has the backing of Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman. During the latest episode of WWE NXT, Waltman approached Evans and spoke about his 1-2-3 Kid victory over Razor Roman, which took place at the same age Evans is now. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer gave him a ton of kudos while proclaiming how much he believes in him.
Waltman is just the latest name to throw their support behind the Young OG. Last month, WWE NXT arrived in the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, where Rob Van Dam shared his support for Evans. The former WWE/ECW World Champion stood in Evans’ corner for his match with Wes Lee and raised his hand afterward.

Evans signed with WWE in November 2023 after making a name for himself as Jay Malachi on the independent scene, and has received quite the push already. A video package hyping Evans debut would play at NXT Stand & Deliver, arguably the brand’s biggest event of the year, back in April.
Evans has already challenged for the NXT and NXT Tag Team Championships, as well as the NXT Heritage Cup. Not confined to the silver brand, Evans has also been in the hunt for the WWE Speed Championship, earning a spot in a tournament finals in August before losing to Pete Dunne.
Expectations are high for the 20-year-old Evans, who shared the ring with Randy Orton in October in only the Viper’s second match in NXT to date. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the Young OG who continues to impress each week in WWE NXT.
