WWE star Je’Von Evans has made it his mission to make history, with his sights set on two company championship records.
Shortly after arriving on the main roster, Evans stated that it’s his goal to become the youngest world champion in WWE history.
More recently while speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Je’Von Evans stated that, in addition to the aforementioned record, he also is “very locked in and focused” on breaking the record for the youngest WWE Intercontinental Champion.
At 22 years old, there are several championship records Je’Von Evans has a realistic chance of breaking.
Here are the championship records Je’Von Evans could potentially break.
Youngest WWE World Champion
Randy Orton currently owns the accolade of being the youngest world champion in WWE history.
The Viper won his first world title with the company at the age of 24, defeating Chris Benoit to become World Heavyweight Champion.
Je’Von Evans has almost exactly two years to win either the Undisputed WWE or World Heavyweight Championship to break this record, which would immortalise his name in the WWE history books.
While Evans isn’t currently in the Raw main event scene, a lot can change in two years.
Current record holder: Randy Orton (24 years, 4 months, 14 days old)
Je’Von Evans’ deadline to break record: September 11, 2028
Youngest WWE Intercontinental Champion
The youngest ever Intercontinental Champion was Jeff Hardy, who won the title at the age of 23.
Hardy defeated Triple H to win the gold during the April 10, 2001 SmackDown taping. This match aired during the April 12, 2001 SmackDown episode.
Je’Von Evans has less time to capture the Intercontinental Championship, with him having to win the gold ahead of the end of 2027.
With Evans making a name for himself in the Raw mid-card division, it does feel like it’s only a matter of time until he has the IC Title around his waist.
Current record holder: Jeff Hardy (23 years, 7 months, 10 days old)
Je’Von Evans’ deadline to break record: December 9, 2027
Youngest WWE US Champion
While the youngest US Champion is often credited as David Flair, who won the WCW US Title at 20 years old, Je’Von could become the youngest US Champion specifically under the WWE banner, in the years since the acquisition of WCW.
Austin Theory became the youngest US Champion since the reactivation of the title in WWE in 2003 at the age of 24.
He won his first US Championship from Finn Balor on the April 18, 2022 Raw episode, and went on to hold this title for 74 recognised days.
While WWE does acknowledge its US Championship as having the same lineage as the WCW and NWA titles of the same name, specifically referring to reigns since its reactivation in WWE would allow Je’Von Evans to vie for another championship record.
Current record holder: Austin Theory (24 years, 8 months, 16 days old)
Je’Von Evans’ deadline to break record: January 13, 2029
