Lacey Evans Says She Didn't Want To "Sniff People's Asses For Opportunities" In WWE

In a recent interview with Teddy Long and Mac Davis, former WWE Superstar Lacey Evans provided an explanation for her departure, and touched upon why her WWE career never quite took off as it perhaps could have. 

"It wasn't a bit much as far as I couldn't do it. It was a bit much as far as it wasn't for me. I lasted seven years in WWE, I invested and made a lot of money. I'm a business owner, I own investment properties, I really sunk a lot of good money into making sure I'm squared away. [...] My priorities in comparison to a lot of professional wrestlers are way different, night and day. I think I was blessed to start that business venture with a full blown awesome husband and relationship. I've already had a baby. I was a business owner, making six figures, before I even joined. I took a pay cut to be able to try and use the platform to make a difference for my community. It was a lot in that regard because my priorities and idea in life was not running on red carpets and sniffing people's asses for opportunities. I'm not cut out for that, unfortunately."

Evans signed with WWE in 2016, and after a period in NXT, made her main roster debut as the number one entrant in the 2019 women's Royal Rumble match. She left the company after her contract expired in August.
