TV Insider recently talked to Lacey Evans ahead of her Money In The Bank match against Becky Lynch. She discussed life on the main roster, her relationship with her daughter, and how she’s still learning on the job.
Check out some highlights below:
On being a mother:
Sometimes on the road, whether it’s NXT or on RAW, it can be stressful. It impacts you mentally in a lot of ways. You’re pulled left and right. She kind of grounds me and centers me and allows that stress to not be so harsh. She is my outlet in every way.
No matter how rough things get or how stressed I am, all I have to do is look at her. She is my little getaway. Everything else doesn’t matter in my life because there is my baby, and in her eyes, I can do no wrong. Whether I’m a champion, win or lose, she is convinced she has the coolest mother in the world. It’s a breath of fresh air when she is around.
How her family reacted to her going to RAW:
My family had already been in the car waiting to get on the road to head home. I asked if I could bring them in to tell them. My daughter was just so excited. She was excited to move back home because once I made it to RAW, a lot of things change in your life as far as being a WWE superstar. My husband, daughter and I were just so excited because it was a huge step in our lives.
We are excited to be on this journey together because when I started my husband and daughter, they’ve been through a lot through this transition and me working hard to become a WWE superstar. And it paid off the minute I received this information. Now we can move back home and have a normal life considering. While you’re at NXT, you’re never sure where you’re going to end up. You’re waiting and wondering. Now that I actually know, we can actually have long-term goals and meet them.
Differences from NXT to RAW:
NXT is week-to-week. You’re working hard and getting booked on live events. You may get booked on the out-of-state loop. You may not. But with being on the RAW brand, I know what to expect as far as scheduling goes and to be ready for this and that. My family comes with me, and her school I work around that and schedule what I need to schedule in advance for my family, for my company and everything I do in my life.
I’m just learning as I go. Now I’m here on RAW and still learning as a go. And there isn’t a producer or sports entertainer, male or female, who isn’t helpful. They are there for travel, financial questions, in-ring performance questions, everybody across the board has been so friendly and helping. It’s incredible. Even in regard to my family, everyone has been amazing. There is not a single question they have not taken their time out to help me with.
