Lacey Evans’ by all accounts legitimate pregnancy will be causing big changes to her program with Charlotte Flair.
First and foremost, Evans’ match with Raw Women’s champion Asuka at Elimination Chamber this weekend is presumably off (although as of this writing it’s still listed on WWE.com). Beyond that, the First Lady could stick around for a while, but if she continues working ringside while expecting, it would be a first.
So Lacey is probably headed for a sabbatical, but she’s not letting the happy news be cause to break character just yet though.
She chastised us nasties just for asking how she’s doing:

Props for keeping kayfabe, and definite congrats to her and her husband on the actual baby that’s on the way. Everything else? Still pretty “ew”, but I’m sure they’d say that’s the point.
