Lacey Evans

Macey Estrella-Kadlec, best known as Lacey Evans, is an American professional wrestler and former U.S. Marine who built her wrestling name during a seven-year run with WWE. She began her wrestling career by signing with WWE in April 2016 and entered the NXT system.

Her early WWE matches included NXT live events in late 2016, and she appeared on WWE programming as she developed a character built around old-school “Lady” presentation and aggressive, punch-focused offense.

Evans gained wider attention after moving to WWE’s main roster in January 2019, where she was placed quickly into major stories and pay-per-view matches with top names in the women’s division, including Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Becky Lynch.

In early 2021, she was written off TV after her real-life pregnancy was announced, which led to more than a year away from the ring. When she returned in 2022, WWE repackaged her through vignettes and then shifted her direction multiple times across Raw and SmackDown, with little momentum. She worked a final stretch of matches in 2023, with her last documented match taking place on July 7, 2023, and her WWE deal ending in August 2023.

Evans was most closely tied to her finishing punch, the Woman’s Right, and later added the Cobra Clutch as part of a more military-themed edge to her presentation.
