Career

Ring of Honor

He made his Ring of Honor debut on November 1, 2003 at "Main Event Spectacles". He wrestled in a Scramble Cage match with Teddy Hart against The Backseat Boyz, Special K, The S.A.T., and The Carnage Crew.

On May 22, 2004 Evans turned heel by joining the team Generation Next with Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong. Generation Next felt that they were the top athletes in ROH, and they were going to take the top spots in the company any way they could. For the rest of 2004, Generation Next feuded with the likes of the Second City Saints and Ricky Steamboat, as well as others in the ROH roster. At Final Battle 2004, Aries confronted Shelley after he lost a tag match with Strong to CM Punk and Steve Corino. Aries told Shelley to step down as the leader of Generation Next, and then attacked him before Shelley could answer. Strong pulled Aries off Shelley, but then turned around and helped in the beat down. Evans was not present for the event and did not return for the next several shows, leaving into questioning if he would side with Shelley or Aries and Strong. He returned at the on February 19, teaming up with Strong to face The Ring Crew Express, The Carnage Crew, and Special K (Izzy and Deranged) in a Scramble Cage match. On February 26, Evans lost in a match against Alex Shelley. Following the match, all three members of Generation Next attacked Shelley.

On December 12, 2004 high-flier Blitzkrieg gave his gimmick and mask to Evans. Since then, Evans competes on occasion as Blitzkrieg II.

On March 5, Generation Next competed in the Trios Tournament. They won their first two matches, defeating the team of Davey Andrews, Shane Hagadorn, and Anthony Franco (students of the Ring of Honor wrestling school) in the first round, and the team of the Second City Saints (CM Punk and Colt Cabana) and Steve Corino in the second round. However, Generation Next lost in the finals against The Rottweilers (Homicide, Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero).

In parts of 2004 and 2005, Evans was in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling competing in the TNA America X Cup.

Generation Next spent most of 2005 feuding with Alex Shelley. Shelley, due to his actions while he was the leader of Generation Next, was unable to find many allies in the ROH locker room and was left to defend himself against Generation Next. Eventually, Prince Nana offered him a spot in The Embassy, but he refused, though he soon changed his mind. Shelley’s joining the Embassy turned Generation Next into faces and the two factions continued to wage war on each other for the rest of the year. On August 12, Generation Next added Matt Sydal to the group, as well as his valet Daizee Haze. Generation Next soon had another valet when Jade Chung, tired of the way she was being abused by Prince Nana, turned on the Embassy. On November 5, Daizee Haze betrayed Generation Next and joined the Embassy. The Generation Next/Embassy feud ended on December 3 in a steel cage elimination match, with Generation Next emerging victorious.

Ring of Honor, Dragon Gate and Wrestling Society X

That same month, Evans and Roderick Strong toured Japan with the Dragon Gate promotion. Starting in April 2006, Jack moved to Japan for three months to train and wrestle with the Dragon Gate promotion. In Dragon Gate, Evans became a member of CIMA's Blood Generation stable.

2006 brought new changes for Jack Evans and ROH. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong were the tag team champions while Evans and Matt Sydal began to work more in Japan. On March 30, Generation Next faced the Dragon Gate stable Blood Generation.

With Matt Sydal and Jack Evans touring in Japan, Roderick Strong and Austin Aries announced at the June 3 Ring of Honor show that there was no longer a need for Generation Next. Evans teamed with Aries, Strong, and Sydal one last time on July 29 at "Generation Now", losing to the team of Davey Richards, Jerelle Clark, and Irish Airborne. Following with match, Evans, Aries, Strong, and Sydal laid down their Generation Next shirts in the middle of the ring, officially ending Generation Next.

Evans stayed in Japan for the rest of 2006, wrestling for Dragon Gate. He returned to ROH on January 26, 2007 in Braintree, Massachusetts.

He currently has been feuding with Roderick Strong and his No Remorse Corps faction. Evans has recently enlisted Ruckus, Jigsaw and Julius Smokes to form his own faction known as The Vulture Squad.

Evans was also a part of the now defunct promotion Wrestling Society X on MTV, defeating Matt Sydal in the first televised match. While the show only lasted for one season, Jack remained undefeated (with one time limit draw to the Human Tornado). His most notable feud was with the Human Tornado. The two tied in a "dance off" and had a 10-minute time limit draw on the 9th episode of the show. On the 10th and final episode, it was announced the two would face each other in a "no time limit" match to determine the first lightweight champion but the show was cancelled after the first season.

After WSX

On 22 March, 2008, Evans and Teddy Hart defeated Ruckus and Trend Acid at PWS Majestic Mayhem for the Round 1 of the Majestic Tournament to crown the 1st ever PWS Champion. In Round 2, Evans defeated Hart by countout in a 30 minute match.
