Randy Orton’s heel turn has been the talk of the WWE Universe lately, and it has come to light that The Viper wants to see this WWE star work as a heel.

Randy Orton won the Elimination Chamber match in February and became the #1 contender for the WWE Championship. Cody Rhodes then won the title back from Drew McIntyre, thus setting the stage for a major clash between himself and his long-time friend, Randy Orton.

But after the contract signing for their match at WrestleMania 42, Orton snapped, completely decimated Rhodes, and turned heel for the first time in years. The Viper later revealed that he had begun to listen to the “voices in his head” and is ready to go to a dark place to win his 15th World Title at ‘Mania this year.

Another voice in his head, or more so his ear as his mystery caller, was former WWE commentator Pat McAfee, it was revealed last Friday on SmackDown.

McAfee attacked Rhodes and confirmed an alliance with Orton, stating that he was doing this to get Orton to where he needs to be to “save the business,” which McAfee thinks has lost its shine compared to his favourite era, The Attitude Era of the 1990s.

Even though Randy Orton, as a heel, is being heavily cheered by fans, McAfee is being heavily booed, and his inclusion in the storyline has been poorly received.

Now, as McAfee draws heat as a heel, WWE star Je’Von Evans has recently said in an interview that Randy Orton wants to see him as a heel.

Je’Von Evans Says Randy Orton Would Like To See Him Turn heel

Evans has been a babyface through and through during his time in NXT and WWE. He did play a heel character in the independent circuit and went by the name Jay Malachi, whom Evans calls his “twin brother” with “tweaks”.

Speaking with No Contest Wrestling, Evans revealed his conversation with The Apex Predator and how he said that he would like to see Je’Von as a heel.

There’s actually a lot of people that don’t really see a heel Je’Von. Before Randy started going crazy, I was talking to him about it and he was like, ‘Yeah, you’re just such a good babyface, I’m kind of excited to see what happens when you’re a heel.’ The crowd as of right now, they like me a lot. They love me.

But, people, if you do your research, sometimes Je’Von’s twin brother named Jay Malachi, he can tweak. Sometimes he just be doing too much and he gets too aggressive and gets too mad. I’ve talked to him about it and he’s taking a break from wrestling right now.

Evans will be part of a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42, whereas Randy Orton will likely have Pat McAfee by his side in his WWE title match against Cody Rhodes.
