It's been obvious to me from the beginning why they chose her to fast track (and not just "because blonde"), and she's getting better every week--her character and in-ring work was on point against Becky. That match was much better than I expected. Becky is solid in the ring but she's not known for elevating her opponents, so I give Lacey credit for holding up her end.
Also, she has the kind of character that we need more of--wholly unique, but well short of crossing the line into being cartoonish. Reminds me of the better Attitude Era gimmicks.
She's still rough around the edges, but considering she's basically learning on the job? Very impressive.

I agree. She is better on the mic than most of the women on the main roster already. In ring she was decent but sloppy in spots like most of the women (including Becky).

Love it. I’ve stayed in her corner and stuck up for her this whole run, it’s nice to see her getting the props she deserves!

I wouldn't say she's been great, but I've always liked her and working with Becky has helped her. It's easy to see why they want to push her.

She has a character and she totally leans into it. That means more than in-ring right now since so few have any gimmick to speak of.

She's always carried herself well, she just needs the reps to fine tune everything. She's actually getting them now and she's steadily improving. Like stevec484 said, she's already much better on the mic than most of the other women. |

Been a big fan since NXT, just hope they dial back on any flippy stuff, her big botches have all come on those kinds of spots which have never been her skillset.

She has to tighten up the ring work after the halfway mark of a match, but the character is good stuff.

Wasn't sure what I felt about her, but I enjoyed her performance at MITB and thought she overshadowed Becky 2 Belts.

She’s one of my favourites on the roster. I don’t understand the hate she gets.
She has an actual gimmick that suits her and she plays it well. Plus she’s good in the ring.

I thought her match with Becky at MITB was decent enough. Not great or anything but it was solid and I thought Lacey did a good enough job in that she had some decent offense and wasn't that sloppy like she has been in her previous matches.
I think her and Becky is a natural feud but I also think they've gone to it too soon as I think Lacey should've been built up more first. I kind of get why they've hotshotted her though as there really isn't anyone else with the sorry state of the Raw women's division as everyone else is injured (Nia, Alexa), AWOL (Sasha), too stale (Natalya, Naomi), or lacking cred due to being beat so much over the years (Dana Brooke, Tamina, Alicia Fox, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan). However problem is neither her or Becky should be losing feuds right now as Lacey is still new and hasn't hasn't been built up enough and Becky is still super over and just coming off winning the main of WrestleMania. If Lacey ends up losing their next match I can see it doing a lot of damage to her as far as her future goes which is too bad as I think there's a lot of potential there in that she carries herself very well and has shown flashes in the ring of becoming very good.

I've always enjoyed her character..... as long as she keeps improving in the ring, she's going to be thing, IMO.

Lacey Evans has nailed her character, but she is still green as goose shit. Lacey needs at least another year in NXT, where she actually works some big matches

Been a fan since I first saw her in NXT. She has a bright future.

Her character work is fantastic, but she has a long way to go in the ring. 6-12 months of seasoning (and patience on Vince’s part) and I honestly think she could be one of the top women |

Lacey needs at least another year in NXT, where she actually works some big matches She's had ONE actual match on the main roster where she looked at least passable. Not like any of the other women besides Charlotte, Asuka or Kairi are super crisp in the ring. |

From what I’ve seen? She’s aight.
She commits to the character..which is great. Body language and demeanor is great. DEFINITELY needs to work on the mic skills..
Other than that? Alright I guess. Good look.

Lacey needs at least another year in NXT, where she actually works some big matches She's had ONE actual match on the main roster where she looked at least passable. Not like any of the other women besides Charlotte, Asuka or Kairi are super crisp in the ring. The real money in Lacey Evans isn't her being a 'passable' heel, it's Lacey Evans being a fully developed badass babyface. With her real life backstory? She SCREAMS babyface. The issue is, she spent all of her NXT run working mostly TV squashes, with no real major angles or Takeover feuds. She was not required to do a lot of working from underneath that would be necessary to get over as a babyface. That is why I think she needs more time in NXT, and they run a real risk of dropping the ball with her. |
