Lacey Evans originally made her return to television a few weeks ago from a maternity hiatus via pre-taped vignettes. She proceeded to tell her life story and it may have sounded a bit depressing for many since it was all about journeys through rough patches in life. The bottomline was that the turmoil helped create the WWE Superstar we have today.
That being said, it’s justified that the former heel character has been gone. From now onward, we will get a babyface Lacey Evans who showed up on this week’s Smackdown for a live TV appearance. She popped up for a short appearance to celebrate with the fans in attendance from the host venue of the Smackdown, the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

Initially, Michael Cole sent us to another vignette for Lacey Evans where it was revealed that she lost a family member to suicide as her WWE journey got going. The suicide of another family member went down shortly before her first WWE NXT match. Instead of feeling excited about her first WWE TV match, she felt completely broken. She wiped her face and competed in her first WWE match in front of her daughter.

Lacey Evans considers herself a future champion
Lacey Evans then went to the hospital after the match and faced the inevitable. She’s been through in life in situations that made her a motivated, ready for anything, confident, mother, wife, sister, daughter, U.S. Marine, and a WWE Superstar. In addition, she ended up calling herself a future SmackDown Women’s Champion.
It was then when Smackdown announcer Samantha Irvin had the mic to talk about recent promos from Lacey Evans before introducing her to the fans. The music hit and out she came to a big pop. She posed for the fans for about a minute before leaving. The notable thing about the appearance was that the Sassy Southern Belle gimmick was gone as she would be playing the gimmick of a US Mariner, instead.
Wrestling Observer recently reported that a title change is expected at Wrestlemania Backlash 2022 where Ronda Rousey will defeat Charlotte Flair to win the Smackdown Women’s Title. Once the current champion drops the title, she’s scheduled to start a feud with a babyface Lacey Evans, down the line.
“Ronda’s getting the Title. Because it would be really bad for her to lose an I Quit match. So, she’s getting the title. But, Lacey [Evans] as a babyface, her natural opponent is Charlotte, because Charlotte is the top heel woman on that SmackDown brand,” the report from WOR mentioned.
