With WWE Crown Jewel seeing new World Tag Team Champions crowned, the future looks bright for Je’Von Evans.
The recent PLE in Saudi Arabia saw Je’Von Evans and Penta defeat The Vision to become WWE World Tag Team Champions, with assistance coming in the form of Oba Femi.
While Penta still has a championship opportunity thanks to the men’s Money in the Bank briefcase, it’s perhaps Je’Von Evans that has eyes on him:
First championship since signing
Signed to WWE since November 2023, Evans’ run in NXT saw him leave the brand without any championships to his name.
The Male Superstar of the Year in the 2025 NXT Year-End Awards, the fans would also vote Oba Femi vs. Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans from Stand & Deliver in that year as their Match of the Year.
Called up to the main roster in January of this year, Evans has been well showcased on WWE Raw, with the World Tag Team Championship being yet another example.
‘Future World Champion’
Sure, it was a comment made by Michael Cole on commentary and could very well sit in the realm of hyperbole, but it’s also a potential indication of how Evans is perceived, particularly in the mix of Penta and Oba Femi, who are also considered future World Champions.
Just 22 years of age, there’s likely a long career ahead of a star who made his in-ring debut in early 2018, and WWE is in a prime position to build upon his considerable talents, positioning him to be a World Champion.
During a recent TKO town hall meeting, WWE President Nick Khan named four stars as “upcoming“: Je’Von Evans, Oba Femi, Bron Breakker and Sol Ruca.
A tag team or a faction?
Je’Von Evans and Penta were a tag team thrown together by circumstance, yet have gelled as a unit in a short period of time. For Penta, he’s got the Money in the Bank briefcase awaiting cash in and, arguably, didn’t require the distraction of a tag team championship journey, yet it adds another layer to a star who is destined for greatness.
Evans has also been close to the world championship picture previously, facing Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship in an attempt that would be thwarted by Bron Breakker.
With Oba Femi also targeting Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at WWE Crown Jewel, it’s a situation that could play well if the trio were brought together in a formal faction, built around the idea that they are all future world champions.
The cream rises to the top
Je’Von Evans could have been just another talented main roster call-up on a star-studded roster, yet he’s found himself elevated into top-level feuds and associated with the likes of Penta and Oba Femi.
While there are no doubt plans for Evans and Penta as World Tag Team Champions that will hopefully see them defend the titles far more frequently than The Vision (one match at WWE Crown Jewel that they lost), it can only be hoped that Femi can be part of that thinking without taking away from the future direction of the trio.
