Ahead of this Sunday’s NXT Heatwave PLE, WWE NXT star Je’Von Evans has opened up on his “close” friendship with Trick Williams.
On the June 18 edition of WWE NXT, Je’Von Evans won the 25-man battle royal to become the number one contender for the NXT Championship at Heatwave. This marked the biggest win of Evans’ WWE career so far with the 21 year old going on to headline his first premium live event.
With Ethan Page and Shawn Spears also inserting them into the match to make it a four-way, Evans will attempt to become the youngest NXT Champion in WWE history. He will also have to dethrone someone he calls “his brother.”
Appearing on the “Under The Ring” podcast, Je’Von Evans discussed his relationship with NXT Champion Trick Williams after recently teaming with him on several occasions. He said:
“That’s my brother,”
“From my tryout, [when] I came, I went to him and shook his hand, I thought he wouldn’t know who I was.”
“He was like, ‘I know who you are, bro. Just do you.’ Ever since then, it’s honestly just been, you know, we’re close. I ask him for advice and he asks me for advice.”
On Trick’s current reign as NXT Champion, Evans said:
“And his reign, it’s been good to me. He’s been fighting for that title, and once he won it, everybody was happy in the back, and I gave him a hug, and I was like, ‘It’s your time,’ and he was like, ‘No, it’s your time,’ or [like], ‘Your time is about to come.’ I said, ‘It’s not about me right now. I want you to enjoy this,'”
