In late 2023, Evans made his NXT debut. At NXT Heatwave, he unsuccessfully challenged for the NXT Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match won by Ethan Page, who dethroned Trick Williams to become the new NXT Champion.
Evans' upcoming showdown against Randy Orton will arguably be the biggest match of the 20-year-old's professional wrestling career so far.
