Lacey Evans, who recently parted ways with WWE, had been regarded as a promising heel within the company, with her potential remaining largely unexplored. However, it appears that her time in the WWE was not without its share of conflicts, as she disclosed incidents of nearly getting into several backstage altercations following heated verbal exchanges.
Speaking candidly on the Power Alphas podcast alongside Mandy Rose and Tino Sabbatelli, Lacey Evans shared her experiences, expressing her refusal to tolerate disrespectful behavior from her colleagues, regardless of their seniority or experience. Evans highlighted her unwavering determination to stand her ground, asserting that she prioritized her self-respect and dignity above all else, even if it meant facing potential conflicts with other individuals backstage.
Reflecting on her journey within the WWE, Evans credited her resilience and strong work ethic for her success in the industry, emphasizing the importance of maintaining financial stability through investments in real estate and other business ventures. Her assertive mindset, she noted, was pivotal in navigating the challenges of her career, displaying a determination to confront adversities head-on without faltering.
In the podcast conversation, Evans underscored her commitment to forging her own path, asserting her independence and refusal to be subjected to unwarranted mistreatment or unfair demands. Her unyielding stance echoed her ethos as an alpha personality, emphasizing that her dedication and hard work defined her success more than any title or accolade could.
Ultimately, Evans emphasized the significance of self-empowerment and resilience in her journey, choosing to prioritize her principles and integrity rather than succumb to undue pressures or compromising her self-worth.
Not that I gave a s*** to begin with, how I lasted seven years in WWE, this same mouth is the same one backstage. I can’t tell you how many damn fights I almost got into. I verbally told them, every time, ‘I’ll work at McDonald’s before I ever sit back and have anybody talk to me the way you talk to me because you feel I owe you something.’ The only thing I owe is working my ass off to have a good match. Back here, there is no damn way I’m going to let anybody talk to me just because you’ve walked roads that I haven’t walked. It’s been a few times. Luckily, the powers that be liked me enough to…each year, I just got a little more. WWE has been great to me, they’ve been awesome, I invested every bit of my money, I haven’t taken out loans.
I have investment properties, real estate, I have a full business paid for. I’m in a good place because I was smart. That addiction doesn’t stop. Every day, just like the power alphas that are on this podcast, every day, we wake up, and it’s not if, it’s when, and we have to be ready to fight that head on, whatever it may be. A lot of people don’t have that mindset. You can tell an alpha from where they end up. It’s not always the ones holding a title above their head. Sometimes, it’s the ones that never got to touch that s*** because we are alphas. I’m not standing outside of doors anymore waiting on answers that whoever the powers that be can’t even look me in the eye and tell me. I don’t have time for that. I’ll be damned if I’m going to live like that and have people talk to me a certain way because they feel that I owe…I don’t owe anybody a damn thing because I work my ass off every day.”
