Je'Von Evans Advances to King of the Ring Semifinals on Raw
Je'Von Evans has secured his spot in the King of the Ring semifinals following a first-round tournament match on Raw this week. Evans advanced by defeating Ricky Saints.
In the finishing moments of the match, Talla Tonga took out Je’Von Evans with a chokeslam on the announce table. Seth Rollins came out of nowhere and stomped Tonga on the table before hitting him with another stomp on the ring floor. Rollins got in the ring and delivered another stomp to Ricky Saints. He nearly secured the win there, but Austin Theory appeared and pulled the referee out of the ring. Montez Ford ran down to the ring and brawled with Theory into the crowd. Evans was able to get in the ring and take out Saints with his signature cutter to score the win.
