It’s time for part two of the Lacey Evans story. She talks about how her father caught up with her and her mother and had all kinds of anger and mental health issues. He would yell a lot and throw a bunch of things until he was eventually on the run from an assault charge. That helped her learn how to fight from a young age and she knows how to be at rock bottom. No one can phase her because she has been through worse. She went through a lot her life and that is what has made her what she is today. A mother, daughter, sister, wife, US Marine and WWE Superstar. She says that doesn’t make her better than any of the other superstars but that doesn’t make them better than her.
