The Becky/Lacey brawl

[Deleted]

That Becky/Lacey fight wasn't bad, it was good. Becky's got the aura to put over anyone she works with so that worked for Lacey.

The problem I have is that spot should have been given to someone like Ruby Riott. While I wish it was Ruby, Lacey did ok.

I’m a big fan of Lacey so I’m happy she’s actually getting to do something other than walk in and walk out.

Whoever thought that idea was good I don’t know.

Maybe, all this time, she's been walking out there looking for Becky, and then just deciding to head back behind the curtain when she sees Becky ain't there.

It for sure should’ve gone to the squad, but, I fear the ladies battle royal was the last time we’ll see all three in the same place unless they all go to Smackdown and f*** up the IICONICS.

As for the Becky/Lacey brawl? I personally liked it. The Lady vs The Man sets itself up and is a feud that’s right there lol on top of that, Lacey was damn good in NXT discounting the two rumble mishaps and the runway gimmick they had going for her. I see some good things coming out of both these women and this feud.

I just hope that Lacey is competent, because Vince is going to push her regardless for some reason.

It’s good as a filler feud for Becky. I’ve got no complaints.

Gives Becky another "hand-picked Blonde" to insult, so that should help. I missed her promo tonight but it seemed lie people weren't feeling it. Hopefully, she can swing a little better when she's got a specific target.

I'm not as down on Lacey in ring as others are and even I underrate Becky's own in ring ability sometimes, so I'm fine with this. The feud writes itself and working with someone like Becky will get Lacey over at least, which she damn sure wasn't before.

I thought that sucker punch justified the weird "come out and stand there" stuff they've been doing these past few weeks and the brawl was really good. I hope the match can be halfway decent but I'll worry about that when we get there.

She was massively over tonight and her promo was fine, I thought. There are a few people here who aren't into her promos and I can understand where they're coming from, but she still has crowds eating out of the palm of her hand. Hopefully this feud provides her with some good material, because when she has it she's dynamite on the mic.

[Deleted]

Yeah, people may not like her promo style, but there’s no denying that she still has the crowds attention and gets them revved up for her.

See, my takeaway from that was “...Isn’t that punch meant to be her finisher, and Lynch didn’t even drop to a knee?”.

I mean, I have no real strong opinions on Evans as a wrestler one way or the other, but hopefully that means she may use something else as a finisher other than just a punch.

Better than Nia,its fresh;

I suppose that's true but doesn't she deliver the punch with a little more panache than that? I haven't actually seen a match of hers so I don't know. Maybe they're protecting Alexa Bliss' wicked punch.

She's a tall, athletic blonde. There's your reason.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Lacey isn’t nearly as bad as this place has made her out to be. She isn’t great. But she’s not Dana Brooke or Nia

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

RIght off the bat it gives Lacey an edge

Yes, she's been doing the cute southern belle stuff but she walked up to The Man and punched her in the mouth and only backed away to not have her arm broken

Lacey has a decent chance to take a belt away but Becky is so good right now where she is at the point where she can help people which is going to be great moving forward and keeps away the "OP talk"

I know this is a thing people really like to rally around, but other than Charlotte, who does this really apply to? Like, hell, they've pushed more short blondes than tall ones, unless Trish and Alexa are just super tall so they looped back around to short.

Yeah, Becky basically no-selling Lacey's finisher off the bat wasn't the best move, especially given she was scripted to win the brawl anyway. (WWE's video for it is entitled 'Lacey Evans incurs the wrath of Becky Lynch.')

Most of it I believe is a residual to the perceived over-push of Michelle McCool back in the day (and some still feel that way because of the 2018 Women's Rumble match).
