Je’Von Evans believes he wouldn’t have been signed by WWE if Shawn Michaels hadn’t vouched for him

While speaking to No-Contest Wrestling, Je’Von Evans stated the following in regards to joining WWE NXT…

“Gotta thank Shawn, bro. Shawn Michaels, for sure. I feel like he was the person that really looked out for me because during my tryout, apparently I wasn’t gonna get signed, right? But Shawn saw something in me. I was too young, I was smaller at the time, so there was a lot of people that wanted me to kind of get older and bigger.

Shawn was like, ‘No, just trust me.’ Everybody trusted him and now he’s like one of my go-to people, you know what I mean? You gotta thank Shawn for sure.” (quote courtesy of Skylar Russell)
