WWE SmackDown star Lacey Evans recently made a return to WWE programming earlier this year, sporting a new gimmick. Recently, she has talked about the challenges of returning to the ring after her second pregnancy.
Lacey Evans talks about having hard pregnancy
On a recent episode of Brandi Rhodes’ “2 Lies and 1 Truth” podcast, the WWE star opened up about her return to in-ring training took an emotional toll on her. Evans gave birth to her second daughter in mid-October and resumed training six weeks later.
“It’s been different emotionally, I actually went back and I was at the PC training six weeks to the day postpartum. It was difficult, more so emotionally. Even still now when you’re breastfeeding and you’re raising this tiny baby that needs you every second. That was the hardest part, I think, and is the hardest part, is her being so young and needing me on such an intimate level, so I just have to make it work.”
She also made sure that she didn’t “lose her spot completely” in the WWE. In order to do it, she lifted a low intensity and did exercises that were less stressful on the body like squats during the first six weeks of recovery postpartum. Lacey Evans fought her last match as part of a six-pack challenge to determine the next challenger to SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey.
