I have a bad feeling that by the time she's actually "ready" they will already be bored with her and have moved on.
Basically a classic "TOO SOON" that we've seen many times

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. I'd already put her ahead of most of the women who get regular or semi-regular mic time. Says more about them I suppose.

Most of them are much better mic workers than her at the moment in my opinion

Most of them are much better mic workers than her at the moment in my opinion Of course it's just my opinion as well, but I rank her ahead of Bayley, Mandy, Nia and Sasha* for sure. Maybe Charlotte. Charlotte is hit or miss, but her delivery is so damn annoying. I'd call Alexa, Becky, and maybe Carmella (underrated) the best. The rest don't really get enough mic time to evaluate. * - Babyface Sasha. I'm unfamiliar with her heel work.

I thought she seemed like she has a lot of potential, a bit of The it factor, and like she truly got it at MiTB.

She needs to be more sassy. I'm talking Vintage Sassy.

The gimmick is one of the better ones on the roster. Her ring work still needs to improve and I think some of her move set doesn't make sense for her character.
The handkerchief spot is fantastic though.

Lacey was on my local news recently promoting the UK tour and came across well in the interview, very composed and articulate. Other wrestlers have been on before and seemed very deer in the headlights (looking at you, Baron Corbin), so I was impressed. There was an interesting bit where she started to say "wrestling" but quickly caught herself and said "sports entertainment" instead, so she can obviously think on her feet in a live environment.

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. The dirty handkerchief spot is terrific. My favourite call of the night on Raw was Renee pointing out just how disgusting it is that she pulls a hanky out of her panties and dabs herself with it as if that's ladylike.

I feel like that if they decide she isn't ready to come out on top in the Becky feud, and she probably isn't, she'd probably make for a fun tag team woman, given her character work. I'm just not sure who they'd pair her with, be it an odd couple team, or someone who would shape themselves in her image a bit.

I think I'd like her a lot more if Brandon Stroud would stop comparing her to certain people I won't mention...

What little I’ve seen is just awful. The lame 50’s southern Belle and terrible accent to boot.

One of the few characters I fully buy into and that's due to her investing herself into it and the effort she makes Not the best in the ring, but I already see her as 2020 Rumble winner

She needs a better writer.
"Becky Two Belts will be known by another name... Becky Black Eye"
That was almost Charlotte level delivery.

She plays the gimmick so well I love the little things she does.

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. Just remembered you had a FAN account, Mr. McMahon?

She needs to pull a Million Dollar Man, and after her matches, she dabs herself with the handkerchief and stuffs it in her opponent's mouth.
