Zoey Stark is a member of the Monday Night RAW roster, but before she came into the company, she was known as Lacey Ryan
Speaking with Rick Ucchino on the Bleav in Pro Wrestling podcast, Stark reflected on her journey to WWE, noting that she was not a fan of her independent wrestling ring name.
“Oh my goodness, I hated that name. That was just the worst name ever. I’m not a Lacey Ryan in the slightest, but I would have to say Lacey would be very proud of where Zoey Stark is at right now. I’ve done more than I ever thought I could ever do, and it’s just the beginning,” she said. “It’s just now starting, and it’s my time right now. It’s my time right now. I think the years before that, it all prepared me for this very moment. And I feel like that’s why it took me a little longer than anybody else to really get yours because I needed to go through that process.”
“If I didn’t do that SHIMMER show that Allison Danger set up for me, I definitely would not be where I’m at right now. That’s where Gabe Sapolsky found me, and he gave me the opportunity to do a WWE tryout. Then from there, everything was done. I did my tryout, the coaches love me, and everything’s been going since then. So, if I didn’t do that SHIMMER show, I don’t know where I’d be right now.”
