Evan is the son of former World Champion and wrestling hall of famer Danny Jackson. Despite spending most of his childhood on the road and around the wrestling business Evan never quite took to the sport the way his Father did. Evan was more drawn to another rapidly growing sport in America and that was Mixed Martial Arts. Wherever his Father's wrestling took him on the road Evan managed to find a gym nearby and spend the time he had in that particular city soaking in and absorbing as much as he possibly could.
Upon graduating high school Evan decided to get serious and and moved to Denver, CO where he was able to join the school of one of the most world renowned MMA trainers in Greg Robinson. For a year Evan ate, slept and breathed training taking in everything he possibly could and becoming a master in the arts of brazilian jiu-jitsu and muay thai. After a year of training and a couple amateur fights Evan made it into the big time and it wasn't long before he was a household name in the Mixed Martial Arts world soaring to the top of the biggest company around and becoming the youngest world heavyweight champion ever at the age of 22.
After a year with the title and three title defenses under his belt Evan started to feel a little restles and knew something was missing. Despite spending most of his life avoiding it he could no longer deny the call and the urge for professional wrestling. Despite his love for Mixed Martial Arts, his desire to follow in his Father's footsteps couldn't be ignored. Much to the shock of the sports world Evan Jackson stepped down as World Champion and left the MMA world to join Pro Wrestling Titans, an upstart orginization in Texas.
Evan has since spent the better part of the last two years chasing his dream and doing everything he could to live up to his name and become his Father's protege. He was just starting to hit it big in wrestling capturing the PW:T Tag Team Titles when the orginization closed down and Evan was left without a company to work for. On the eve of announcing his return to MMA he recieved a call from EWI CEO Sheikh Haroon offering him a spot in what was being billed as the newest and most competitive wrestling federation in the world, where only the elite would reside. Knowing that professional wrestling was where his heart was Evan accepted the offer and flew to Dubai.
Joining him in Dubai and taking on the role of mentor for Evan was family friend and wrestling legend, "The Icon" Axis. Under the tutelage of Axis Evan was able to capture the HIW International Title and eventually merge this title with the Pro Wrestling Titans Championship and the EWI World Heavyweight Title when Evan successfully did what no one before had been able to do in defeating the giant known as Kahn and becoming the first ever and current EWI Triple Crown Champion.
