Lacey Evans Doesn’t Compete On WWE Raw Despite Being Advertised

[Lethal]

In a surprising turn of events, Lacey Evans’ advertised return to in-ring action didn’t take place on Monday’s WWE Raw.

During last week’s episode, WWE announced that Evans would compete in a match for the first time since her return from maternity leave. Recently, WWE ran a series of five vignettes to build up Evans’ return to WWE TV. The series ended earlier this month on SmackDown and Evans, with a new theme song, was then introduced to the live crowd to a big babyface pop. Despite her appearance on the Blue Brand, Evans was later moved to the Raw roster internally, and a report suggested she would be working as a heel.

There was no mention by the Raw announcers as to why Evans didn’t compete this week. All indications were that WWE wanted the former United States Marine to make her big return on the special Memorial Day episode. It now appears her comeback will be saved for a later date.

​

For what it’s worth, Evans was tweeting before the live telecast of Raw, stating through one post that her “GRAND MARSHAL duties got me laid up.” She also shared a photo of herself resting with ice packs on her arms.

Evans was the Grand Marshal for Sunday’s NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Lacey Evans has not wrestled since the February 15, 2021 Raw, where she and Peyton Royce took a loss to Asuka and Charlotte Flair.

So you're telling me that WWE pulled the pin on an ADVERTISED match and nothing much more is said about it, it's just hidden away? Hmm, but 3 weeks ago, Mercedes and Trinity were the biggest cunts on the planet for walking out of a stupid 6-pack challenge and have been put through the vitriolic ringer since? Something doesn't compute here. Double standard pieces of absolute dogshit. #IStillStandWithSashaAndNaomi

Totally the same.

 

[Lethal]

Totally the same.

Both advertised, but this time WWE tucks it under a rug and we're just supposed to forget? Not like Mercedes/Trinity wanted to make their division stronger or anything. How's the tournament going? Lmao.

"For what it's worth" and it's the most pertinent information lmaoooo also I 100% forgot they even said she was returning, are they gonna save it for the 4th of July now since it's the next Murica holiday

What does that have to do with anything about two others walking out?

To quote Uncle Dave “plans changed”

She didn’t pack her bags and go home

If anything was advertised, maybe they should have mentioned she wasn’t gonna be there(maybe they did idk, didn’t watch) but her getting hurt, isn’t the same as someone walking out. Walking out means you could compete, and refused to, being hurt means that you physically can’t.

 

[Dale]

I didn't watch either but I don't think she's hurt, just the common changing of plans they do. Still not even remotely close to the Sasha/Naomi situation though.

She tweeted how she was laid up, the story in the OP even mentions it.

When your biceps...FLEX YOU!

You must be trollin' right.

You must be trollin' right.

I mean I’m just going by what she her said has posted. She could be fucking around maybe, but hell who knows. If you flex a lot it could like pull something idk.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

the proper thing to do in this case is to play along. Blaze knows whats up lol

They mentioned it last week on Raw, but then once the day of preview came out it wasnt there anymore which is always the "plans changed" indicator lol I don't really consider it false advertising and it should at least not be considered the same as when they legitimately false advertised Sasha for SummerSlam last year knowing she wasn't going to be there
