Speaking with the Orlando Sentinel, Lacey Evans goes back to her first steps onto WWE’s main stage. At first, she couldn’t believe that she was moving on from NXT so quickly. When she got the call, she was helping out with a tryout camp. “By the end of this tryout, I had people puking, so when the coaches called me into their office, I thought I must have done something wrong. I worked them too hard, I couldn’t do tryouts anymore, something like that.” Instead, she was told that she was heading to RAW. “I just laughed at them. It was so surreal. There were lots of tears … for probably two days.”
That crying proceeded to her first main roster match, which was against Natalya. “I worked for two and a half years to become a great wrestling performer, but I have worked hard my whole life to be accomplished — to live a life worth living.” Even though Lacey hasn’t been wrestling for as long as many currently on the WWE roster, she knows that she can catch up if she pays attention. “If I’m going to be a good leader, first I have to be a good follower.”
The full interview also contains talk about Lacey’s life in Orlando outside of the ring and traveling with her husband and daughter around the world to WWE shows.
