Jevon Evans is currently one of WWE’s brightest young talents and a major draw on Monday Night RAW. Known as “The Young OG,” Evans captivates fans with his high-flying maneuvers and charismatic presence. He transitioned to the main WWE roster this year after nearly two years in NXT, where he was mentored by Shawn Michaels. As the 2025 NXT Men’s Iron Survivor, Evans recently celebrated his 22nd birthday.
In 2023, Evans signed with NXT and made his debut against Scrypts on the April 9, 2024, episode. He later faced NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov but fell short in the match. Despite the loss, Dragunov demonstrated sportsmanship by shaking hands with Evans. John Cena selected Evans and TNA’s Leon Slater to challenge AJ Styles and Dragon Lee for the World Tag Team titles at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Thanks for the submission!
Evans officially joined the RAW roster in January, after his last NXT match against Ricky Saints on December 30. He then made his WrestleMania debut in the Intercontinental Championship Ladder match. Despite his achievements, Evans remains youthful at 22. His father celebrated his birthday by sharing a video montage of him on Instagram.
“ITS THE YOUNG OG JEVON EVANS 22ND BIRTHDAY!!! Y’ALL SHOW MY SON SOME LOVE!!! #JevonEvans #thatboybounceeeeeeyyyy #TheYoungOG #HappyBirthday #22,” his father wrote.
Sportskeeda Wrestling extends its best wishes to Jevon Evans for a healthy and happy year on his 22nd birthday.
