Chad Gable Names Je’Von Evans His Next Big Wrestling Star

Chad Gable says Je’Von Evans is his pick for the next big name in wrestling. He made the call during appearance on Busted Open Radio, where he named the 21-year-old as the guy he expects to become the next big name in the business. Gable, a former WWE star, got time with Evans while doing promotional work for SummerSlam, and it wasn’t just the in-ring stuff that stuck with him. What really got his interest was how Evans talked about his career, his personal background and his ambitions.

Chad Gable Explains Why Je’Von Evans Has The Attitude And Ambition To Become A Major WWE Star

Gable’s praise went past athletic ability. The two spent a lot of time together on SummerSlam media appearances, so he got a real look at how the young wrestler thinks about his future.

Evans’ approach to his career grabbed him. Hearing the youngster go through his goals and wrestling ambitions left a strong impression, Gable explained.

“But hearing him talk about his goals, his ambitions, and the way he talks about wrestling was kind of what lit a fire under me,” Gable said.

Also, he liked the maturity Evans showed when he described his journey into pro wrestling. Gable pointed to his background and how he handles the business as reasons for the admiration.

“I’m a huge fan of his and for my money, he’s my pick as the next big guy,” he added.

Chad Gable Also Points To Evans’ Mic Skills As Another Reason For His Confidence

Gable thinks Evans has more to offer than high-flying performances. He brought up the promo Evans cut before Money in the Bank, a WWE premium live event, as an example of what he can do when WWE gives him the mic.

Evans has already drawn attention for his work between the ropes. But Gable sees his communication skills as another piece of his potential, since connecting with viewers through promos, on top of his wrestling ability, gives Evans one more way to establish himself on WWE television.

Gable’s comments also came from someone who talked with Evans away from ring. Those conversations gave him a better idea of the goals Evans has set and how seriously he takes professional wrestling.

So for Gable, that mix is what makes Evans stand out. He isn’t judging the youngster only by what happens in a match, and his maturity, ambitions and ability to talk about the business all fed into his opinion.
