Professional wrestling certainly isn’t ballet and unfortunately injuries do happen from time to time. Every once in a while a WWE Raw match is stopped due to injury and Je’Von Evans’ match with El Grande Americano on the January 19th, 2026 episode of Raw had to be stopped earlier this year.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Je’Von Evans explained that he was seeing stars after he and Americano butted heads, which is what led to the match being stopped.
“So basically, I think before we went to commercial, me and Americano butt heads, and for a couple seconds I was like seeing stars or whatever. But I’m from the indie scene. You get hurt, you keep going unless you can’t go no more.
So we butt heads, and I was kind of stunned for a little minute. But then I continued, and then we went to break, and so I went to the ref. I’m like, ‘Hey, look, I’m seeing stars, but I’m good.’ He’s like, ‘What?’ And then I’m like, ‘I was seeing stars, but I’m okay.’
He said, ‘Do we need to call medical?’ I’m like, ‘No, no, we don’t. I just got here, dude. I’m okay.’ Then he’s like, ‘No, we gotta call medical because it’s a head injury.’
So we got medical, and then they were asking me questions, and I was like, I promise, I’m okay. But because we hit heads and because I was seeing stars, they had to call it.”
