The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer reports that Evans is indeed done with WWE. Elsewhere, PWInsider adds that WWE has removed the former marine from its internal roster after her contract expired.

The former Evans has now changed her Instagram handle from @LaceyEvansWWE to @limitlessmacey, as well as adding "FKA WWE Superstar Lacey Evans" to her social media bios. As her contract expired, and the 33-year-old wasn't released before the end of her terms, she shouldn't be bound to a non-compete clause preventing her from working or signing for other wrestling promotions.

Evans had been with WWE since first entering its developmental system in 2016. Her past few years were marked with myriad creative changes, with WWE rarely settling on a consistent direction for the Evans character for longer than a few months.
