Lacey Evans Announces Wrestling Return After Nearly 3-Year Absence
Lacey Evans has announced she is planning to get back to the wrestling ring after almost two years away from the sport. Evans made the news in a video posted to her Instagram page, discussing her reasons for returning, her background, and her intentions as she returns to the ring. Macey Estrella, whose ring name is Lacy Evans, last appeared on July 7, 2023. She has since largely kept a low profile, concentrating on her marriage and family.
Fan Support Leads To a Return
Evans’ return to the ring was sparked by a recent event in Las Vegas over WrestleMania weekend. She took part in a fan signing and reconnected with fans who had supported her in WWE. Lacey describes how her engagement with fans reignited her love for wrestling. She said she frequently heard people asking if she would return to wrestling. That idea lingered and ultimately played a key role in her decision to return to the ring.
Balancing Family
Evans talked about the time she took off from wrestling. She said she did this to spend time with her family. Evans also talked about her husband, the person she has been with since they were teenagers. They always wanted to have kids and start a family.
Now Evans has three kids, and she really loves being a mother. As her kids get older, they want to know more about Evans and her time as a wrestler. This is something that motivates her to keep going with her wrestling career. Her children, particularly her youngest, are excited about seeing her perform live, having previously seen her only on television. That enthusiasm has encouraged Evans to return not only for herself but also for her family.
Preparing For the Next Chapter
While Evans has confirmed her return, she acknowledged that there is still work to be done before she steps back into the ring. She admitted that regaining full ring conditioning will be a major part of her journey.
Lacey noted that she plans to start training, working to improve her physical condition, and prepare herself again to compete at a high level. She also hinted at curiosity about what lies ahead, keeping the door open for opportunities beyond WWE.
Evans stressed that she did not grow up watching wrestling; she worked hard during the initial stage of her career to develop skills and establish herself as a performer. She now wants to test herself again and see what she can bring to the table at this stage of her career.
The Return Of the “Sassy Southern Belle”
During her active career, she became widely recognized for her “Sassy Southern Belle” persona, showing a bold and charismatic presence. Her comeback marks the return of that persona, now backed by a fresh sense of motivation.
She emphasized that her departure was for the sake of her kids, but her return is also for the same reason. The next part of her wrestling journey will be a time to compete as well as share those experiences with her family.
What Comes Next
Although no specific dates or promotions have been announced, the news of Evans’ return is already exciting fans. Evans’ return to the ring brings another veteran back to the scene, and new possibilities for stories and matches. As Lacey embarks on her return to wrestling, the world will be watching to see where the “Sassy Southern Belle” goes next and what she will do to continue to build her legacy in the sport.
