How bad are Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans together? In writing this column up, this writer nearly forgot that they were on the show. That’s how little of an impression they left.

Evans and Corbin cut a backstage promo before coming out for Lacey’s match against Natalya. The bout itself was nothing special, with supposed top Raw Women’s Championship contender Evans needing help from Baron to squeak by Nattie.

Yes, heels cheat to win, so that’s well and good. But this little feud and mixed tag winner-take-all title match is like death, and Lacey and Baron aren’t doing much to raise interest at this stage.

Hopefully after this is over, both will slink back to the midcard and help bolster the roster from down there, not sit at the top trying to carry the main shows. And to be fair, it’s not like Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are tearing it up promoting the match themselves.
