Popular Indie Star Debuts Before WWE NXT With A New Name

WWE has their eye on the entire pro wrestling world. Sometimes they change up someone’s name when they enter the company for a variety of reasons. That happened once again, and now Jay Malachi has a new name.

Jay Malachi’s New Name

Je’Von Evans, formerly known as Jay Malachi, marked his debut in WWE during tonight’s ‘Level Up’ event, where he faced off against Brooks Jensen.

This is a big get for WWE, as Evans is now set to start making his mark in the company. Naturally, his fans should be excited. Level Up may get some additional viewers this week to see what happens.

He signed a deal with WWE in November 2023, and that garnered considerable attention. Many fans were already familiar with him thanks to his in-ring abilities.

Who Is Jay Malachi

Jay has started making waves in the indie wrestling scene. Not only is Je’Von Evans young, but he has experience already. 

He’s competed for West Coast Pro, Combat Zone Wrestling, and Deadlock Pro Wrestling, with the latter being particularly instrumental in gaining recognition for Malachi.
