Lacey Evans says she has no desire to return to WWE.

Back in August, Lacey would request her release from WWE, which was granted. Since then, she has opened Sunny Summers Cafe in Beaufort, SC and is also looking to give back to those who struggle with mental health problems. This brought an end to a seven year run in the promotion, a run that did not feature a championship reign for the former marine.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Lacey would address her WWE exit, noting that she has no desire to return to the hectic WWE schedule.

“Do you want me to lie? No, there’s not [a desire to go back]. You know, some people, they wake up and they put on six-inch stilettos and 10 pounds of makeup and their extensions and they go walk the red carpet and they feel amazing. I’m not those people. And it was very difficult for me, right? To kind of put on that front. And because WWE does a lot of good stuff for a lot of people, but I just felt like more could be done for my why, right? So for my passions and mental health and addiction, and life struggles and PTSD and all the sh*t that people have to deal with every day. It’s like, why the f*ck am I on a red carpet right now? Like I’m looking out in the crowd and I see people that are f*cking hurting and they’re taking photos of my shoes. I’m not gonna lie I miss some of the people, right? Because it is a struggle, and we do kind of become a family at some point. But I don’t I want to I want to help I want to do more. I want to fight different battles that aren’t in the ring.”

While Evans is not interested in resuming the WWE schedule, elsewhere in the same interview she would not rule out a pro wrestling return in the future. You can read more here.

Lacey previously revealed that she took a paycut to join WWE originally. You can read more about that here.
