On the September 26 edition of the blue brand, NXT star Je'Von Evans answered Sami Zayn's open challenge. The 21-year-old put forth an impressive performance in what was also his main roster debut. Unfortunately, The Underdog from the Underground proved too much for the challenger to handle, and he ended the bout with a Helluva Kick followed by a Blue Thunder Bomb.

Earlier today, Je'Von Evans took to X/Twitter to share an emotional message reflecting on his main roster debut. The NXT star pointed out that he challenged for the United States Championship while still being on the Stamford-based promotion's developmental brand. Evans also noted that he did not disappoint with his performance on the night.

After the blue brand, Je'Von Evans and Josh Briggs locked horns at NXT No Mercy. The two put forth an engaging back-and-forth contest that ended with Evans nailing his opponent with the OG Cutter to secure the win.

The previous contest between Evans and Briggs took place on the September 9 edition of NXT. The former NXT UK Tag Team Champion defeated The Young OG. The two stars are likely to go up against each other again.
