WWE Superstar Lacey Evans recently spoke about how she was trying her best to capitalize on opportunities across brands in the company.
The stakes were high as the returning superstar took on Xia Li this week in a singles encounter for a coveted spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match. It was a memorable return for Evans on the blue brand as she picked up the win with Women's Rights and confirmed her place at the next premium live event.
WWE correspondent Kayla Braxton caught up with the Sassy Southern Belle this week on Talking Smack. Evans pointed out that she had always been where the company needed her to be. She was ecstatic about the opportunity to be part of the Money in the Bank match.
Here's what Lacey had to say:
"I mean, with all that I've been through so far, I've been on Raw, I've been on SmackDown, I've been trying to be wherever they need me. They needed me here tonight and they gave me an opportunity that I think I needed and I won. I'm going to freaking Money in the Bank and it still hasn't hit me yet and I still hasn't hit me yet."
