Sgt. Slaughter and his erm...slaughter daughter will be happy.

They got their wish for Lacey Evans to cease and desist playing a military character on WWE TV, but not because Triple H was prepared to listen to Sarge. Nope, they got their wish when Lacey's contract was torn up by the company and she was shunted through the exit doors in August.

Evans has been pretty candid about her thoughts on WWE ever since, and admitted that she fancied doing something else anyway. The release was a best case scenario for everybody, because Lacey didn't like sitting in catering with sod all to do on TV days.
