Je’Von Evans Addresses Possible Heel Turn In WWE

Je’Von Evans might be one of WWE’s most naturally likable stars—but he’s not ruling out a very different version of himself.

While speaking on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Je’Von Evans addressed the idea of turning heel—and revealed there’s already a blueprint for it from his past. The conversation started with the interviewer pointing out that Evans feels like a natural babyface and questioning whether fans would ever actually turn on him.

“I don’t think he ever went heel, for some reason. I don’t see a heel Je’Von Evans because I don’t necessarily see the fans turning on him…”

Evans didn’t push back on that perception. Instead, he acknowledged it—and admitted it’s something he’s heard from people backstage as well: “Got to be. Got to be. Got to be.” He then explained that even veterans see him as someone the crowd gravitates toward, which makes a heel turn feel unlikely—at least right now.

“There’s actually a lot of people that don’t really see a heel Je’Von… he was like, ‘Yeah, bro, you’re just such a good babyface. I’m kind of, you know, excited to see what happens when you’re a heel—because, bro, the crowd as of right now, they like me a lot.’”

That’s where things took an interesting turn. Evans hinted that while fans may love him now, that doesn’t mean things can’t change—and he pointed to his past character as proof.

“You feel me? So—but, you know, people, if you do your research… sometimes the wind blows a different direction. That’s all.”

Then came the real deal. Evans brought up his indie persona, Jay Malachi—a much more aggressive, unpredictable version of himself—and suggested that side could always resurface. But for now, that version of him is on pause.

“Sometimes Je’Von’s twin brother named Jay Malachi… he comes out—he can tweak, you know what I mean? Sometimes he just be doing too much, and he gets too aggressive and gets too mad, you feel me? But I’ve talked to him about it, and he’s taking a break from wrestling right now.”

Evans’ comments make it clear that while WWE may currently see him as a pure babyface, he already has a built-in backup plan if things shift. And if that “Jay Malachi” side ever shows up on WWE television, it could completely change how fans view him.

Do you think Je’Von Evans should stay a babyface, or would a Jay Malachi-style heel turn work better for him? Drop your thoughts below.
