Lacey Evans’ WWE Return Was Considered ‘Chaotic & Directionless’

Lacey Evans was on her way to becoming a top heel on Raw when she got pregnant and had to get some time off from television. She ditched her Southern Belle gimmick and incorporated her Marine background into her new character.

Evans was a regular on SmackDown before she was pulled from television on the July 29th episode of the blue brand. Michael Cole stated that Evans wasn’t medically cleared to compete.

Sean Sapp reported from behind Fightful’s paywall that WWE do not have any direction for Evans for the time being. Evans was said to be a personal favorite of Vince McMahon as well.

In addition, Lacey Evans was pulled from the July 29 episode of Smackdown in which she was scheduled to face Aliyah. On television, it was stated that Lacey Evans wasn’t cleared to compete, but we’ve heard there are no immediate creative plans for her and she wasn’t discussed as being in the gauntlet match.
