Je’Von Evans Opens Up About His ‘Iron Man’ Performance In 2026 WWE Men’s Royal Rumble, Was Excited To Take Moves From Brock Lesnar
Evans spent the most time in the match.
The ‘Iron Man’ status for the 2026 WWE men’s Royal Rumble match belongs to Je’Von Evans. He spent nearly 41 minutes in the match, which was the longest time spent in the bout.
Evans commented on that when he chatted with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant on Raw Recap. He added that he was also excited to take moves from Brock Lesnar in the match.
“Honestly, not gonna lie, when Brock Lesnar came in the ring… Everyone I was in the ring with, I honestly grew up watching, so whole time I’m taking all these moves and dang, this hurts, but, I just took a German suplex and an F5 from Brock Lesnar. But that moment, me getting scooped up by Brock Lesnar, in my head, I was like, alright, Brock is strong. I can’t get out of this one. But, I’m about to take an F5, and it’s about to be wonderful… You just gotta be grateful. I’m just grateful that I have the opportunity and grateful that I stayed in the ring for such a long time. Just to be in the ring with GOATS.”
Evans followed up his performance in the Royal Rumble by scoring a victory over El Grande Americano II (Ludwig Kaiser) on Monday Night Raw after an assist from El Grande Americano I (Chad Gable).
