On last night's WWE SmackDown, Lacey Evans smashed an enhancement talent in just 47 seconds after teasing walking out completely before surprising the ham-and-egger with a flash Women's Right for the win. The unfortunate victim was billed as "Camron Conners", but were WWE protecting her actual working identity for the good of a future push?
Connors was portrayed by Camron Bra’Nae, a rising independent wrestling star, most notable for appearances in Evolve as well as other smaller promotions. WWE have linked arms with the organisation of late, airing their anniversary show on the Network as counter-programming to All Elite Wrestling, donating stars to the card as part of what appears to be an ongoing talent/resources share between the two sides.
Bra'Nae wasn't given any time to shine beyond selling the potential count-out victory she almost stole, but it at least preserves her actual aura should she re-appear within the system again in the near future. The match-winning punch looked excellent as well - doing her best under the old adage, she was at least able to maximise what turned out to be slightly less than a minute.
