Je’Von Evans Explains Why Raw Match Against El Grande Americano Was Stopped

On the January 19, 2026 episode of WWE Raw, Je’Von Evans took on El Grande Americano in a match that was ultimately stopped due to injury.

Evans was attended to by officials and grabbing his shoulder as he was helped to the back.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Evans explained what happened.

“So basically, I think before we went to commercial, me and Americano butt heads, and for a couple seconds I was like seeing stars or whatever. But I’m from the indie scene. You get hurt, you keep going unless you can’t go no more. So we butt heads, and I was kind of stunned for a little minute. But then I continued, and then we went to break, and so I went to the ref. I’m like, ‘Hey, look, I’m seeing stars, but I’m good.’ He’s like, ‘What?’ And then I’m like, ‘I was seeing stars, but I’m okay.’ He said, ‘Do we need to call medical?’ I’m like, ‘No, no, we don’t. I just got here, dude. I’m okay.’ Then he’s like, ‘No, we gotta call medical because it’s a head injury.’ So we got medical, and then they were asking me questions, and I was like, I promise, I’m okay. But because we hit heads and because I was seeing stars, they had to call it,” he said.

Evans would return to the ring two weeks later in the Royal Rumble.
