10 Wrestlers With The WWE Stink
7. Lacey Evans
It was never destined to end well, any of this.
WWE debuted "The Story Of Lacey Evans" on April 8th and she was on television by May 6th flexing her biceps and soaking up the support of the fans. This was always the plan. It's the rest of the story that shouldn't have been.
Evans went into the weeds describing the very, very difficult like she'd had before landing in WWE the first time several years ago. It covered addiction, abuse and various emotional and physical challenges she's faced in her life, and didn't shy away from literal descriptions of the hardships. WWE had already shown some negligence by not adding content warnings nor associated support lines, and the exploitative nature was destined to boil over eventually. But it happened in a way nobody could expect.
Ahead of introducing her to a live audience for the first time, ring announcer Samantha Irvin spoke to the viewers down the hard camera lens whilst asking the audience to show Evans the requisite respect. WWE audiences are remarkably subservient it would seem, because the people did despite the obvious heel trope.
She's since been moved to Monday Night Raw amidst some controversy and public opinion that WWE have atrociously misread the situation. Her first feud will only be all the more telling.
