Backstage evaluation eases concerns after Belfast incident
Summary
– Match on January 19, RAW ended abruptly during commercial break
– Initial concern centered on possible shoulder, chest, or concussion issue
– Early reports indicate Evans is doing OK with no major injury
Je’Von Evans sparked concern during the January 19 episode of Monday Night RAW when his singles match failed to reach its planned finish. The bout, held at The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was stopped unexpectedly during a commercial break.
When RAW returned live, Evans was assisted out of the ring by WWE officials. Although he was able to walk on his own, commentary suggested he may have suffered a shoulder or chest injury, which immediately drew attention, given his recent move from NXT to the main roster.
The situation looked more serious as Los Americanos stayed in the ring and waved him off, creating a tense visual for viewers. The sudden ending raised questions about Evans’ status and whether the injury could impact his momentum.
A report from PWInsider later offered reassurance regarding the situation. According to the update, Evans is believed to be doing OK following the incident.
WWE’s medical staff evaluated him backstage, with early concern focused on a possible concussion rather than a structural injury. He was ultimately cleared to leave the venue with the rest of the roster, suggesting the issue was not severe.
While WWE has not ruled out a concussion, initial indications suggest Evans avoided major harm. The company is expected to keep monitoring his condition as a precaution moving forward.
