Booker T addresses the backlash Je’Von Evans received due to botched RKO spot with Randy Orton

As seen during the October 8th 2024 edition of WWE NXT, Randy Orton defeated Je’Von Evans in the show’s main event. At the end of the match, there was a botched RKO spot.

During his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and NXT announcer Booker T addressed the backlash…

“He was in a high pressure situation going out there working with somebody like Randy Orton, a major player, a guy that is pretty much giving you the rub. Do I agree with the backlash? No, I don’t. Are you going to make mistakes in a match? Yeah? Was the finish flawless like people were expecting it to be? No, it wasn’t, but is that one mistake going to be a setback for this kid? I don’t think so at all. All the haters online that’s giving this kid hate, they wish they were as talented as this kid. They wish they could do what this young man could do and go out there and do it on a nightly basis. It’s easy to have Twitter fingers and talk about somebody else when you’re at home sitting on your sofa eating a bag of chips, some donuts and a gallon of milk.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
