WWE is gearing up to position main roster newcomer Lacey Evans as one of the top female performers in the company.
Evans appeared in a ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ segment during this past Sunday’s Elimination Chamber event. Her music would hit, Evans would strut out, turn around and leave.
She replicated the spot on both Monday Night RAW and Tuesday on SmackDown Live. Tuesday’s appearance, however, would distract Asuka, giving Mandy Rose the chance to steal a victory. This could be hinting towards a potential Asuka vs Lacey Evans encounter.
Turns out that the reason this lies in the company’s belief in her as a Superstar.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, WWE sees major things for Lacey Evans in the future, wanting to eventually position her as one of the top female Superstars in the company alongside Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
“Lacey Evans — you have no idea how big they want Lacey Evans to be,” he explained. “You know we talked about Asuka and Lacey Evans, which I don’t think is going to happen, but that was the idea…right now the idea is that when Ronda leaves, whenever that will be, the big three will be Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Lacey Evans. Which is, you know, kind of a shock — and she may not make it, but that’s where they see things.”
Rousey is expected to take extended time off from WWE following WrestleMania 35.
