In a surprising turn of events, WWE has seemingly bid farewell to Lacey Evans, a wrestler known for her polarizing presence. The decision follows her alteration of social media details, indicating a significant shift in her professional journey. Evans, who joined WWE in 2016 and rose through the NXT ranks before her main roster debut in 2019, has navigated a rollercoaster ride during her tenure.
Initially entangled in a feud with Charlotte Flair, Evans took a hiatus due to pregnancy, returning with a renewed image as a ‘good’ character. However, her struggle to resonate with fans led to a return to her villainous persona, leaving her in a perplexing position.
The signs of a departure emerged when Evans, real name Macey Estrella-Kadlec, transformed her social media handles from @LaceyEvansWWE to @limitlessmacey. Her Instagram bio further fueled speculation, stating ‘Formerly known As WWE superstar Lacey Evans.’ A conclusive message on Instagram hinted at her farewell: ‘When the clock strikes 12, you will address me as Macey Estrella from here on out…….oh, and this jacket is up for grabs. Be on the lookout.’

Evans had garnered controversy by discussing sensitive topics like mental health and autism, sparking widespread criticism. In an attempt to address anxiety and depression, she advised unconventional solutions, inadvertently inviting backlash. Fellow wrestlers, including AEW’s ‘The Bunny,’ emphasized the importance of empathy for those dealing with mental health challenges.
This isn’t the first time Evans ignited controversy; she once shared a now-deleted conspiracy video on autism and ADD. Her final appearance on WWE television was during the June 23 episode of SmackDown.
