Lacey Evans has returned to WWE following Wrestlemania 38 and within a couple of months, she has already shifted brands for three separate occasions. The latest reports confirm that Evans is being moved back to the SmackDown roster following her brief stint on the Red Brand, as per the reports of PWInsider. The report didn’t specify any details on why she is coming back on Friday nights.
The source noted how the pitch to move Lacey Evans back on Smackdown came in the last 48 hours,
“Lacey Evans was shifted back to the Smackdown roster over the last 48 hours, PWInsider.com has confirmed.”

Starting in early April, WWE began airing a series of vignettes to set up things for Lacey Evans with a brand new character. The series ended last month on SmackDown and she re-debuted with a new theme song and a new gimmick, in front of the live crowd. It certainly received a loud babyface pop.

Lacey Evans switched brands on several occasions
A week forward, Lacey Evans was abruptly moved to the Raw roster internally, despite all her vignettes airing on SmackDown. Additionally, a report suggested that she would be working as a heel on the red brand. The reported switch left a lot of fans confused as the previous vignettes focused on Evans’ difficulties to sympathize with her as a proper babyface figure. Additionally, she had also served as a former United States Marine.
The move apparently came after Charlotte Flair urged time-off from WWE TV due to her marriage with Andrade that took place in late May. Lacey Evans was supposed to enter a program with The Queen after coming back to TV on Smackdown. But that couldn’t happen due to the absence of Flair. There’s no update on whether Flair will come back to the blue brand now that Evans is returning here, too.
Lacey Evans was also expected to make her triumphant in-ring return on the special Memorial Day episode of Raw during the April 30 episode but that match was canceled without any prior information. Prior to this stint of hers, The Sassy Southern Belle last appeared on the February 15, 2021 episode of Raw before going into the pregnancy hiatus.
