A former WWE star says she almost got into fights because of her mouth.
On August 16, Lacey Evans announced her departure from WWE after her contract expired.
Evans, real name Macey Estrella, now has a FanTime website and opened the Sunny Summers Cafe in Beaufort, South Carolina.
On the Power Alphas Podcast with Mandy Rose and Tino Sabbatelli, Evans talked about her childhood growing up around addiction and wanting to escape the addiction of drugs and alcohol.
On how she is addicted to success and work, Evans said:
“Not that I gave a shit to begin with, how I lasted seven years in WWE, this same mouth is the same one backstage. I can’t tell you how many damn fights I almost got into.”
“I verbally told them, every time, ‘I’ll work at McDonald’s before I ever sit back and have anybody talk to me the way you talk to me because you feel I owe you something.'”
“The only thing I owe is working my ass off to have a good match. Back here, there is no damn way I’m going to let anybody talk to me just because you’ve walked roads that I haven’t walked. It’s been a few times.”
“Luckily, the powers that be liked me enough to…each year, I just got a little more. WWE has been great to me, they’ve been awesome, I invested every bit of my money, I haven’t taken out loans.”
“I have investment properties, real estate, I have a full business paid for. I’m in a good place because I was smart. That addiction doesn’t stop.”
Lacey continued on to talk how she will bring that addiction to success into everything she does moving forward, saying:
“Every day, just like the power alphas that are on this podcast, every day, we wake up, and it’s not if, it’s when, and we have to be ready to fight that head on, whatever it may be.”
“A lot of people don’t have that mindset. You can tell an alpha from where they end up. It’s not always the ones holding a title above their head.”
“Sometimes, it’s the ones that never got to touch that shit because we are alphas. I’m not standing outside of doors anymore waiting on answers that whoever the powers that be can’t even look me in the eye and tell me. I don’t have time for that.”
“I’ll be damned if I’m going to live like that and have people talk to me a certain way because they feel that I owe…I don’t owe anybody a damn thing because I work my ass off every day,”
As previously reported, Lacey Evans recently discussed why the WWE lifestyle wasn’t for her.
