Lacey Evans is a former U.S. Marine and member of the Marine Corps Special Reaction Team, roughly equivalent to a civilian SWAT team. It's hard to imagine a background that would make one much tougher than that.

Once her military career ended, Evans trained for the American Premier Wrestling league, cutting her teeth and winning the world championship. Her performance in that promotion got her on the radar of the WWE, who signed her to a developmental contract on their NXT brand. She participated in the inaugural Mae Young Classic, though she did not win the tournament.

2018 has been good to Lacey, who is enjoying a tight push on the NXT brand. With her stunning glamour girl good looks, military and martial arts background, and championship poise, she is well qualified to be the breakout star of 2018 in the WWE.
