It says plenty when Lacey Evans walks into the role she did when she was never good enough to make a Takeover or most NXT Tv but Kairi was superstar of the year (male or female) and is in this role. If you’re serious about being a global product stop Americanizing your foreign stars
Some things about WWE product I agree with, most things even but Lacey Evans is catching strays the same way Rey did that Royal Rumble that Daniel Bryan didnt come out last.
No matter what you think you have poor judgement or haven't been watching wrestling long if you don't see the potential in Lacey Evans. She can work better than the likes of Alexa Bliss for a example, cuts great promos and she has a gimmick she plays fantastically well. Its pro wrestling it doesn't matter how long anyone has been there if they have potential to be good in a spot then push them to that spot. Marks need to kill that stupid, 'ain't been there long enough' 'they don't deserve that spot' bullshyt. The argument about her not having a takeover natch is invalid, what takeover did Elias make? What takeover did the Iconics make?
Elias didn't make any waves in NXT because he wasn't no straight 4* and above worker like the NXT crowd respect more than anything but his gimmick and the way he played it was money. Its the same for Lacey Evans. Lacey Evans might not be an Io Shirai or Kairi Sane in the ring, but she can work a solid match and there's women on the main roster that work sloppy as hell.
Besides Becky Lynch has basically faced everyone already, how many heels are there atm for her to face in a fresh match up? nikkas complaining when they getting a fresh feud and then also complain of a stale product.
Btw heads up on the next two who most likely won't make any waves on a takeover but will be great on the main roster if creative doesn't book them bad, Aaliyah and Vanessa Borne, although the new women's tag titles may mean they will get a takeover match they never would have got otherwise.
