Zoey Stark reflects on her journey to WWE.
Before she was Zoey Stark in WWE, Lacey Ryan was on the independent circuit for a decade. However, the woman behind Zoey the character says she was never really fond of her independent wrestling name.
Speaking with Rick Ucchino on the Bleav in Pro Wrestling podcast, Stark reflected on her journey to WWE, revealing that she hated the name Lacey Ryan but believes Lacey Ryan would be very proud of where Zoey Stark is today
"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."
Stark also reflected on Allison Danger setting up a SHIMMER show with her on the card where Gabe Sapolsky would find her.
"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."
Up next for Zoey is a spot in the WWE Money in the Bank Ladder Match on July 1. She has since said that she and Trish Stratus will have a plan for the match. Read more here.
