The Young OG secured the win in the main event.
‘The Young OG’ Je’Von Evans competed in the fourth men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying match on the February 16 episode of Monday Night Raw against Dominik Mysterio and Gunther. The match took place in the main event of the show.
In the end, Evans managed to hit the OG Cutter and pin Dirty Dom to secure the win in the Qualifying match. The Young OG joined Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and LA Knight in the 2026 WWE men’s Chamber match, which is set to take place at the namesake PLE next Saturday.
The performance was another showing for Evans, who has continued to impress fans and WWE brass since his promotion to the main roster. With the win, Evans not only secured a big win over two top names but is also set to create another record.
Je’Von Evans was born in 2004
After securing the spot in the Chamber match, Evans is now looking to enter the match next Saturday and deliver another incredible performance to punch his ticket to WrestleMania and battle for the title, just months after his main roster promotion.
Notably, Evans will be the first Elimination Chamber participant in WWE history who is younger than the match itself. This stat is another feather in The Young OG’s cap, who continues to shine despite his young age.
The Elimination Chamber match was created by Triple H and made its debut in November 2002 under the introduction of Eric Bischoff. On the other hand, Evans was born on April 29, 2004, in Greensboro, North Carolina.
This milestone highlights not only his rapid rise through WWE’s ranks but also the generational shift in the roster, as younger talent steps into some of the company’s most storied match types.
Elimination Chamber will feature two major title showdowns
The 16th Elimination Chamber event is set to air on February 28, live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. As usual, the PLE will feature the two men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber match, with the winner securing the WrestleMania spot against the World Champion, remaining after the Royal Rumble announce their picks.
