Vince Russo wasn't a fan of how WWE showcased Je'Von Evans on SmackDown

After Je'Von Evans accepted Sami Zayn's open challenge for the United States Championship on the September 26, 2025, edition of WWE SmackDown, Vince Russo talked about it on an episode of BroDown. The veteran said that the Triple H-led creative team should have showcased some vignettes before calling up Evans on the blue show.

Russo added that main roster fans would have gotten a chance to know the NXT star from the video before his match.

"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."

It will be interesting to see what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for Je'Von Evans' future on WWE's main roster.
