They're Not Happy: Fans React To WWE Star Returning On SmackDown

Not everyone can be a hit. There are all kinds of WWE stars on the roster and several of them were brought back within the last year after the mass releases of 2020-2021. Some of these have been quite the success, but there are others which have not gone so well. You can usually tell one of the weaker ones when you see it, but in this case the fans are letting us know.

Last week on SmackDown, Lacey Evans lost a Money In The Bank qualifying match to Zelina Vega. This was only Evans’ fourth televised match of the year and she came to the ring wearing a military hat and sunglasses, as per her time in the Marine Corps. Following the show, some fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Evans, saying that WWE needed to release her. Here are some of the comments:

Damn the queen of repackaging

Can she only do 2 gimmicks? High class better than everyone or "I was in the military"

I’m always curious what they see in her after repackaging her like 7 times

All them character changes and it still won’t help her one bit ?

Southern belle Lacey was the only good gimmick and they dropped the ball

IDK where she's been, but she can go back. They just haven't found a good story for her. This is her 2nd or 3rd incarnation

Lacey "Nothing Works On Me" Evans. Maybe one of the next releases.

Evans has done fairly well in her time in WWE. Check out some of her efforts:

Opinion: I can get the frustration with Evans, who has gone through one different look after another, often with little reasoning behind the changes. There is enough talent there to make a run at something, but for one reason or another, nothing has actually stuck. Hopefully WWE comes up with a way to make it work, but they haven’t been able to figure it out just yet.
