Je'Von Evans is already “just another name on the roster” due to creative failure, claims ex-WWE employee (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo feels the creative team failed Je'Von Evans. The star was in action this week on SmackDown.

Evans competed on SmackDown last week. He showed up to answer Sami Zayn's United States Championship Open Challenge. After an electrifying bout, he came up short but won the admiration of the fans with his high-flying performance.

During a recent episode of BroDown with host Mac Davis, Vince Russo felt that WWE failed to make Evans stand out as a special talent. He explained that the star should have been given introductory videos to help fans understand who he was. Vince mentioned that the rookie is now just another star on the roster with nothing special about his character.

"We got this Evans kid, and before we ever saw him, we should've got vignettes, we should've got an introduction, we should've understood who this guy was. But no, we don't get any of that. They just throw him on TV. And he's just another name on the roster."

The former WWE writer pointed out that casual fans don't watch NXT. He mentioned there was a large gap in viewership numbers between NXT and the main roster shows. He believed this should have been evident to the WWE creative team.

"All you have to do is look at the NXT numbers and look at the RAW and SmackDown numbers, and you will clearly see not everybody watches NXT. It's black and white, bro. So you're absolutely right. Rather than give these people an introduction, a story, you just throw them on TV. And once you do that, they're just another name on the roster."

This week, Evans was in a tag team match with Rey Fenix against Los Garza. The duo easily bested Angel and Berto for an impressive win on the blue brand.
