Lacey Evans says she took a paycut in order to join WWE.
Evans’ WWE contract expired earlier this year, with her quietly exiting the company after several repackages and pushes in WWE over the last couple of years.
Evans has been having a rough couple of years in WWE. With her pushes seeming stop-start in nature, she has gone under several repackages with no luck. She has now opened a diner also.
Speaking to Tino Sabbatelli & Mandy Rose on Power Alphas, Lacey explained how she wanted to use the WWE platform to tell her story.
“I’ve got to be making moves. If you don’t see me as the top guy, and you have the ability to make that choice, let me go because I know where I’m a top guy. I know where I thrive the most. I’m a thriver. I have to go. I took a pay cut to even be in WWE, which is wild. I’m thinking I could use my platform, that hustler mentality, I want to help people. So much so that, that was my main goal in WWE. I’m an alpha and I want to be able to tell my story, use my story, and help people. I know what I’ve accomplished already. Before I even joined WWE, I had multiple properties, 18 acres, my family is set up, I have a military career, I run a construction company, but I don’t have the platform that I could help human beings in a shit ass situation. That was my main goal. I didn’t see myself holding a title up because that doesn’t make me feel accomplished,”

We will have to wait and see if Lacey will ever step back in a wrestling ring again.
