Lacey Evans

[0.0] "The worst of the worst of the even worse. I've never seen her get even the slightest of reactions. It's deserved too since she wasn't good at all and she definitely did get the chances. Especially with Becky. It's on her for not being able to hang in the main event because she couldn't wrestle or cut a promo. She also has the charisma of a dried paint wall in the middle of nowhere so that doesn't help either."

[1.0] "I have never seen someone get as dead of a reaction as Lacey Evans. You could hear literal crickets during her promos and especially her matches. Doesn't help that she's extremely unlikable in real life as well, but it was just impossible to root for her as a face and as a heel, she didn't really do much. Can't ever think of a Lacey promo or match that even partially stood out to me. Glad she's out of wrestling and sticking to scamming people instead."

[3.0] "Terrible wrestler pushed too soon, terrible views on life and now she is abusing copyright system to delete her past taking content creators, the only reason i don't gave her worse scores is because during her brief prerios on top she had the look and could have done great things, sadly her attitude and plain stupidity threw her career on the dumpster."

[4.0] "Lacey was very awkward in the ring and I can't remember one good match of hers, even against the Four Horsewomen, all of whom she has faced. No standout match against Becky, Bayley, Charlotte, or Sasha? Or even Asuka? Even Nia has been successfully carried by these girls..."

[4.0] "She was awful and gosh how I hated her women's right finisher her moonsault was way better and was literally the only positive thing about her."

[3.0] "i remember being mildly excited about Lacey Evans for a pretty brief period of time (as were a lot of people - look at that average rating decline every year! ) but she ended up a bit of a bust. never great in the ring and she improved very little over years of wrestling, never was good on the mic, and had a really hard time connecting with anyone in a way that culminated in a miserable heel turn and gimmick change that just totally torched her career. usually it's hard to fault someone for a bad gimmick change given that it isn't always the wrestler's fault if they get saddled with crap, but it really felt like she just never put any effort into pulling anything off."

[3.0] "I remember when Lacey made her debut at the Mae Young classic, she was my favorite, but she became my biggest disappointment in women's wrestling, she had everything to be good, but she is very arrogant and had a very boring gimmick, she became tiring to watch after mid-2020-2021, I expected more from her and I'm even sad to give her a low score."

[2.0] "Um, ok... she's a little (little) athletic in the ring, but NOTHING impressive, she is a bad seller at all, her run as a heel in 2022/2023 was a disaster, too much for too little, the creativity as a ''Military Heel'' was good and had potential, but unfortunately it wasn't well realized by her, the best phase of her career to be honest was in 2019."

[2.0] "Was never a fan of Lacey, and not sure why she was pushed so heavily. She should have never beat any of the four horsewomen, and her characters were never good either. She was released after the Vince McMahon era. I didn't think she would be able to fit in on either brand today."

[2.0] "Lacey Evans was certainly one of the wrestlers of all time. She was not completely without merit as a performer but she was mostly a very generic wrestler with boring characters and tedious matches. I do not think she will be sorely missed and even in her time the division passed her by immensely."

[3.0] "A lot of potential, clearly a natural athlete, and at one point, the Southern Belle thing was a great gimmick with legs. But once she dropped that......yeesh, not a lot going on. She had a strong start out of the gate, but never managed to get any better than she started."

[4.0] "She could have been a really good superstar. Her NXT moveset was very innovative and clean but as soon as she came to the main roster she started to lose this in-ring "momentum" and became botchy. The Sassy Southern Belle era was a great gimmick for a heel and she portrayed it very well but she unfortunately completely changed her character for a boring and bland one, which means she lost the only things people could like about her."

[2.0] "I mean she didn't injure anyone. Her charisma consisted of just being annoying though and not much help. Even though she was given some shit to work with she never seemed to care. In ring she was not good. Not unsafe or reckless but still bad. She had a truly awful finisher and doesn't seem to be a nice person. I would give her a (4) but she genuinely doesn't seem to care and mostly just insults wrestling nowadays. She also doesn't seem to be a nice person."

[1.0] "just horrible. literally the worst female wresler ive seen in years. couldnt cut a promo to save her life, was horrible on the mic and in ring. just awful all around"

[5.0] "Another what if in WWE Lacey Evans could have been a star had it not been for her being in booking hell WWE just didn't know what to do with her after the southern belle gimmick had finished the marine gimmick was a complete failure and while she had talent she couldn't get over with the fans"

[6.0] "I've just learned that his contract with WWE has just ended, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to review his career. After 8 years in the WWE, she's never had a chance to win anything. A forgettable rivalry with Becky Lynch and a rivalry to forget with Charlotte Flair... I thought she was pretty good on the mic and pretty confident, but maybe a little less so in the ring. Although she did have a good Last Woman Standing against Natalya! Her return from maternity leave was a disaster, although the gimmick could have worked... A wrestler with potential but a mediocre career..."

[3.0] "Lacey Evans at one point, was supposed to be a star in the WWE- but after failing to impress in the ring, failing to connect with the fans, and failing to maintain any of her pushes during career- has become one of the least entertaining acts in WWE. She does have an impressive, athletic and striking appearance, and looks like she can physically handle most of the female talent in WWE but something has not clicked with her since day one."

[3.0] "Lacey is a good in ring hand but she has struggled due to her mic skills, bad booking and lack of connection with a crowd. Lacey was good but never stood out in NXT so I was surprised when they called her up and in hindsight might have been a little early. She can put on good matches in the ring but her characters have never gotten over. Tried to use Ric Flair to help her but the crowd was not going for it. Her return seemed to have her in line for a big push but then indecisive and inconsistent booking hurt her. Not sure where she goes from here."

[2.0] "Joke of a professional wrestler, nothing much to speak about in the positive. Her character work is turn of the screen bad, and her gimmick has been so muddled and mangled. during her time in WWE that I don't think there is a future for her left in professional wrestling as a result. Has never done a single memorable thing in the ring or on the mic."

[0.0] "Insanely self-obsessed, doesnt have anything good in the ring, for gods sake her finisher was a single PUNCH. She is terrible at playing her character, whether its the stereotypical 60s house-wife or former US veteran, its really bad all around. Plus, she had the audacity to tell Sammy Guevara he couldnt roll. I dont care who you are, or who you are a fan of, we can all admit sammy is a thousand times better in the ring. Constantly pushed only to come out to a dead crowd no matter how much shes pushed. Unbelievably bad."

[2.0] "Not very good in the ring or on the mic even after years to improve, cant see many positives here..."

[9.0] "One of the best female athletes in WWE history. Lacey is impeccable in the ring and one of the best heels that have passed through the company. She is currently lost on the roster but I still believe in her potential. She just needs more opportunities."

[4.0] "There is potential but so far I am not seeing it. She is not a good wrestler YET. And here promos are a mixed mag depending on if she is a face or a heel. I honestly think under this Triple H regime she needs a career reset."

[6.0] "I like her, I think she's okay. She was a bit too green when she got transferred to the main roster but she made progress. She's decent in the ring, but the management has no idea for her. The character of the "traditionalist" was good, but the current, frequent image changes are very harmful to her."

[8.0] "I like Lacey. Awesome heel, great gimmicks (Southern Belle is the best). Beautiful moonsault. Works for a company that has no idea what to do with her! Hopefully that will change under Triple H."

[6.0] "Lacey has shown some impressive agility with her moonsault, and she is physically very powerful. On top of that, she is a hot blonde - this fits the profile Vince McMahon looks for in women, but somehow, he fumbled multiple times with her. With a past in the marines, WWE had given her the gimmick of being the "sassy southern belle" - which is as ridiculous as it sounds. They didn't feel like playing up her military background until after she returned from her pregnancy. Strangely, WWE managed to screw that up as well, making her into a trauma dumper that demanded respect. This was supposed to make her a face, but to the fans, it came across like a heel demanding cheers. You can see the problem here - she is known for not-so-good gimmicks, and it's not her fault."

[6.0] "I like her character work and her in-ring skills are decent, but she's been absent due to pregnancy for a year now and I hardly noticed."

[7.0] "Such a fun gimmick and played to perfection. She's not impressive inside the ring but makes up for it with everything else she brings to the table."

[7.0] "I enjoy Lacey a lot. She's a great character work and a very convincing heel. She can work her sex appeal very well too. In ring she can be sloppy if she tries to do stuff she clearly can't do like springboard moves, however I think if she sticks to technical wrestling she's quite decent and can put on a decent match with the right opponent. I just find her extremely entertaining as a wrestler, even tho she's far from perfect. I'd say she's a diamond in the rough"

[4.0] "No disrespect to Lacey Evans, I totally respect her for serving our country. Also on a side note, she is in a very exclusive club of people who have been begged better off on RAW and Smackdown than in NXT. This is because she thrives under Vince McMahons vision of ? sports entertainment? rather than Triple H? s vision for pro wrestling. Lacey Evans also has a character which is well done as both a baby face or a heel. However, Lacey Evans has been fed a lot of pushes and title matches, including being placed in a 3 month program with Becky Lynch, who was red hot off her WrestleMania 35 win, and she even was reportedly slated to win the RAW Women? s title in 2021 before pregnancy. Unfortunately for Lacey some of her segments and aspects of her character can be improved, and the quality of her matches is substandard in comparison to the other top women of WWE."

[2.0] "She does a few cool moves in the ring and her background in the military is interesting but other than that I don't enjoy watching her. Her character really isn't for me and I find it annoying. She has now had terrible feuds with basically all the 4HW, culminating recently with Rick and Charlotte Flair which crippled the women's division for weeks. She recently got pregnant, so congrats to her! At least we didn't have to suffer through her taking the title from Asuka."

[3.0] "She is one that drags the women's division down. She is over pushed. She has next to none in ring skills"

[6.0] "Another wrestler who is all about looks rather than in ring skill. Lacey Evans has decent in-ring skills but at times can be a little stale. She is improving and her charisma seems stale. A decent wrestler with average charisma that is improving overtime."

[6.0] "Good promo and character work. Seeing her on social media she is very into her character and presentation, often keeping kayfabe which I very much appreciate. In the ring is where she falters. She simply doesn't have a lengthy enough stint in developmental, and they fast tracked her, basically killing any type of progress. She can do an awesome Kid Kash-like moonsault, but that's it. She's basic as hell and very sloppy, and even though she is 30, I do think she can improve."

[10.0] "WWE messed up her development last year. You don't take a diamond with her upside and throw her away into a match against Becky Lynch. She should have stayed in NXT for anothe year with a dominant reign as champion then unleashed her. In spite of that this woman has it all. The looks, the charisma, sense of humor, improved work rate, a mother, came from nothing. Everything a promotion should look for in a woman she has. People that hate on her are just scum of the earth really. If I could rate her a 25 I would."

[2.0] "Lacey Evans is a very green wrestler with a fairly average charisma. the two points go for his good presence with the fans. she was was call-up too early by WWE and should have stayed a year or two more at NXT"

[9.0] "Single-handedly getting me back into modern wrestling. My era was from the early 80s until around 2001 when WCW was acquired by WWF. That ended all of the competition for me and I felt it got bland for a while. Her charisma as both a heel and face has made me start watching again and start going back to watch the era I missed. Her technical ability isn't great but the charisma and commitment to kayfabe (mostly) makes up for it."

[6.0] "Promo work is fine, in-ring work is fine. Nothing fantastic about her, but she's not bad. She just shouldn't be a main eventer like she is portrayed as atm. Keep her in the midcard for a while so she can continue to develop."

[2.0] "Lacey Evans is just too green if you compare to her current push. She's just too sloppy in the ring, she seems nice, & have a great presence with fans but when it comes to the in-ring performance, it's just not good."

[6.0] "Lacey Evans isn't that good in the ring although it seems that she has improved quite a bit but what makes Lacey Evans even a mild bit interesting is the fact that she is a very compelling story teller and a character worker. If she continues to improve her in ring skills then she has the potential to become a great wrestler."

[6.0] "I don't feel Lacey Evans is a genuinely bad wrestler at all. While she's still raw, and was called up a little earlier than she should have been, she is athletic and naturally charismatic. She had a number of strong matches in NXT, and can has a lot of potential. Her matches with Natalya have convinced me that nerves got the better than her, which is reasonable when you get to the main roster, and you're instantly thrown into title contention"

[8.0] "One of the best gimmicks right now. She has to work more on her ring skills, but she has not a lot of experience like others in the women division, so I am sure then in a couple of years she will improve a lot."

[4.0] "I have come back to change my rating from a 6 to a 4. The only thing saving her from a 3 is her mic skills and her athleticism. However, besides that, she is sloppy and dull in the ring. This little push she has received in the last few months has really exposed all of her flaws in the ring (and there are many glaring)"

[7.0] "I know people are pretty sour on Lacey Evans right now, but I see a huge upside with her. I like her presentation & I think some of her real life qualities can carry her far in the mainstream. I do certainly agree that she is still quite green in the ring & probably could have used another full year in developmental before being called up. I think the mega push she received from the get go did more harm than good. I still want to see more of her though & I hope the reevaluate how to use her best."

[0.0] "The worst women's wrestler I've ever watched, her promo skills are dire, and her character is cringey as hell. Lacey Evans has no skills or awareness in the ring, not an ounce of psychology, I can't buy her as a credible threat in the ring to any title or opponent. And to conclude; Her theme song stinks."

[5.0] "I don't care much for her gimmick and overall presentation, but she has a reasonable amount charisma and is progressing nicely. Seems to have more potential than Alexa Bliss or Nia Jax who also came from the Performance Center. Her recent matches with Kairi Sane are, to date, career highlights. She has slowly overcome some of the awkward footwork and movements she had in her earlier matches. Can only imagine how good she'll be by the time of her call up to the main roster. Her sky's the limit."

[10.0] "she? s an incredible wrestler and very great human being. Lacey is really athletic and gifted superstar also she? s good as a wrestling character. It? s great to watch her mathces with Kairi to see her potential for a biggest takeover matches. I can't wait to see her in real action."

[7.0] "She's actually a pretty good babyface and she's great at entertaining the crowd. A bit rough on the edges though."

[6.0] "Lacey Evans has a great gimmick that is built into her character as a marine. She has a great entrance that is high energy and fun. I see Evans going far because of her marketability as a patriotic heroine. In ring she's green but creative and thus far a solid performer."

[2.0] "She has basic coordination, agility and power that prevents her from being a danger in the ring, but Lacey Evans as the major flaws of lacking any discernable charisma and as an awful awful character that stoops to the lowest common denominator. No matter how rooted in her real life, she is unbelieveable as a military badass or a patriotic figure. The level of pandering in her promos or her ridiculous attire is almost unheard of and is embarassingly transparent. If she cannot develop more substance, she will remain a laughingstock of a shameless cliche."
