WWE is not unhappy with Lacey Evans' recent performances, despite rumours to the contrary.

Speculation that Evans had been entering underwhelming showings in the eyes of WWE star had been doing the rounds over the past few days, stemming from Twitter talk. Fightful Select has moved to pour cold water on this talk.

The outlet writes that there is "nothing to odd online speculation" suggesting that Evans is in bother with WWE.

Lacey wrestled on last Friday's episode of SmackDown, defeating enhancement talent Carmen Harress in around two minutes. This was her second singles match of 2023, having won another jobber squash on 27 January, though Evans also appeared as part of that month's women's Royal Rumble match.

Evans has now been back on WWE television for around eight months after taking over a year off due to pregnancy, which saw her pulled from a planned Raw Women's Championship program with Asuka. Returning last April, Evans has flip-flopped between alignments and characters several times, rarely settling on the same notes for longer than a couple of months. Currently, she plays a military-style, MMA-focused heel on Friday nights.
