WWE is repackaging Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans returned to WWE earlier this year after a hiatus. After hyping her return on SmackDown, she was moved to the RAW brand. Despite WWE pushing her background as a Marine, she remained a heel. WWE then drafted her again to the blue brand where she hasn’t done much yet. But now the company is looking to repackage her yet again.

This time it seems WWE is diving deep into her United States Marine Corps history and using that to sell the new gimmick. In a vignette of Evans, she is seen doing drills and “going back to basics” of her training. It is clear that WWE has concrete plans for Lacey Evans going forward. But now with this latest controversy, whether the company will go ahead with its push for Evans or demote her remains to be seen.
