I can't stand her for some reason. I'm not sold on her in the ring and I just find her character obnoxious. Did in NXT too. And I'm kind of over punches as signature moves tbh. I hated it with the Big Show's "WMD", and he even had big enough fists that it made sense. I find it hard to believe IRL that Lacey can punch harder than Becky or Charlotte or Sasha or even Nia Jax.
Maybe Lacey and Nia can feud when she gets back over who gets to use a punch as a finisher since Nia broke Becky's face.
It's not her fault, but she represents a mindset that disappoints me greatly.

He'll actually probably win Sunday though...or else "NEITHER OF YOU ARE EVER GONNA FACE EITHER OF US AGAIN!"...
I mean, they didn't say no more title matches as long as they're champion...just at all...so I know they can't hold to that...but still lol.
Or there's gonna be a guaranteed cash-in.

Carmella's reign did that in theory. The problem was that instead if having several ways for her to cheat to retain to keep the story moving forward, they had one idea that they kept constantly recycling.
Part of the problem with Lacey Evan's is that she is a character and has the work-level of a Diva but they're pushing the character like she is a wrestler-type.
I could see the reasons why they would want to go with her ad Becky's first challenger (,otherwise the character has been on TV for months and done nothing), but pushing her as a top star is yet another manifestation of the problem WWE has been feeling with for years, which is Vince pehhomg guys ad top stars (Roman, Corbin) the moment he first sees them, with mo regard to in-ring ability or ability to connect to the crowd.
