5. Lacey Adds Nothing

Remember when WWE boasted about how they were going to shake things up by debuting new superstars so we’d have new matchups and new faces? Yeah, WWE sure as hell doesn’t.

Two months since that announcement and none of those wrestlers competed on Sunday’s PPV. In fact, none of them have been assigned to a brand yet. Lars Sullivan hasn’t even debuted (though it’s for the best until he’s ready), EC3 is trading wins with the departing Dean Ambrose, Heavy Machinery is digging out of an embarrassing debut, and Nikki Cross recently teamed with Alicia Fox.

Lacey Evans, meanwhile, actually appeared on the Elimination Chamber PPV, walking down the ramp… and then walking back. Seriously, were we short a couple minutes and needed to puff the PPV out to four hours? What was the point of having someone who hasn’t had a Raw or SmackDown match since Royal Rumble show up to do a twirl?

Absolute waste of time.
