Lacey Evans Hints At WWE Return Being Imminent
Marcus Reynolds It appears as though top-level WWE star Lacey Evans might be nearing a return to WWE. After going on leave to have another baby, Evans teased a return to the company and potential in-ring action being not far off when she answered a fan on social media asking when she'd be back. Evans noted, “Tell her I’m coming,” followed by an hourglass emoji.
The video was of a young girl opening a Christmas stocking and a Lacey Evans action figure being inside, which absolutely delighted the young female fan. The mother of the child tagged the video and wrote, "she asked when Lacey would come back" to which Evans responded that she was coming soon and teased her return was right around the corner. Evans didn't give an exact date and WWE hasn't promoted her return to either Raw or SmackDown, but the Royal Rumble is not far away and Evans gave birth to her new baby in October.
Instagram posts in early November showed Evans was training in the ring and with the 2021 calendar year almost over and some of WWE's top talents potentially being removed from shows due to ta COVID outbreak, one has to wonder if WWE pushes up Evans' return or if something is scheduled.

Evans Will Be A Big Name Coming Back
Two of WWE's top female talents are currently out with both Bayley and Evans on the shelf. If the company can get both of these ladies back in short order, that's a big add for the company heading into their biggest pay-per-views of the year. Evans in particular makes for a great heel adversary for someone like Bianca Belair or could oppose Becky Lynch if WWE wanted to try Evans as a babyface again -- something they briefly tested before she took her pregnancy leave.
