10 Wrestlers That Got BANNED From AEW

10. Je’Von Evans

In May, talented NXT star Je'Von Evans had a back and forth exchange with Ricochet on social media that involved the latter pointing out that he was learning from legends like Shawn Michaels when Je'Von was 12 years old. Firing back on that burn, Evans said that Rico was now "wrestling in front of 2,000 people every week". He didn't stop there either.

The WWE man said that Ricochet was wrestling "for a crackhead". Yikes!

That won't have gone unnoticed by Tony Khan. Je'Von was clearly referencing him in his message to Rico, and there's every chance that Khan felt insulted by what the WWE hopeful was saying. Evans (as Jay Malachi) worked 3 bouts for AEW between 2022-2023, but signed with Triple H's league later on. He's since made a splash on NXT and has been called up for a few matches on the main roster.

Clearly, Je'Von is still very young, but it might come back to bite him in the future if he doesn't succeed on the WWE side. After all, AEW is currently the best viable alternative for wrestlers in 2025. Will that always be the case? Who knows? However, burning your bridges with the literal boss of the only other major in the country is certainly bold.

It also wouldn't be a surprise if WWE management had a word with him.

Evans has never been publicly named on any banned lists, but it's easy to imagine that Tony wasn't happy with what he was reading. That was a huge slap in the face, especially considering the fact that Khan wasn't even really involved in the bickering between Je'Von and Ricochet.
