Lacey Evans with the AJ Styles Intercontinental Championship

Lacey Evans has quickly become one of the main talents of the WWE event. Despite the fact that Sassy Southern Belle has not won a Singles Championship in the company, it has come close on many occasions. The same goes for the man whose Intercontinental Championship they saw her flee with, AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One, since its WWE debut, has earned a lot of praise in the promotion.

Lacey Evans flees with the AJ Styles Championship

A video of Lacey Evans stealing the AJ Styles Intercontinental Championship recently came to light on social media. In the video, Evans can be seen posing with the Championship and then running away when Styles sees him. This seems like a joke that The Sassy Southern Belle was playing on Styles.

AJ Styles won the Intercontinental Championship a few weeks ago on WWE SmackDown. Sami Zayn was the Intercontinental Champion, but was forced to abandon the Title after he decided not to compete during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Blue Mark held a tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion. SmackDown superstars like King Corbin, Elias, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Drew Gulak, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles competed in the tournament. Styles and Bryan faced off in the final with Styles winning their first Intercontinental Championship that night.

Lacey Evans has played an integral role in shaping the WWE SmackDown women’s division. She was part of the five-way knockout game that took place at WrestleMania 36 for the Bayley SmackDown Women’s Championship. That night she would have gone with the Title if it were not for Sasha Banks, who came to the aid of her best friend.

In the following weeks, Evans defeated Banks in a Money In The Bank qualifying game to cement his place in the namesake PPV. At the PPV, Lacey Evans was unable to win the Money In The Bank briefcase when Asuka climbed the ladder and took it from five other Superstars.

While Lacey Evans has been missing in action on WWE TV, AJ Styles was seen successfully defending his Intercontinental Championship against Drew Gulak.
