Former WWE Superstar Lacey Evans has found herself in the news lately, thanks to her response to Becky Lynch's comments in an interview. Speaking with Bert Kreischer on Something's Burning, The Man recalled her post-WrestleMania 35 rivalry with Lacey.

The Irish star stated that it was "terrible" working with someone who hadn't done anything in the business right after main eventing 'Mania. Lacey didn't take these remarks kindly and shared a brutal response on X.

Lacey left WWE in August 2023 after a seven-year tenure with the company. The recent controversy has sparked a discourse about the 35-year-old returning to the global juggernaut.

In this listicle, we will discuss two reasons why WWE should bring Lacey Evans back and two reasons why they shouldn't.


WHY THEY SHOULD

#2. A rivalry with Becky Lynch would be exciting

When on-screen rivals share a real-life disdain toward each other, it makes the feud more engaging. Take Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk, for example. Fans could feel the tension between them through the screen.

WWE can create something similar with Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch, and for that, the company should consider bringing Evans back.


#1. Lacey Evans could be a great manager

While the company gave Lacey plenty of chances, she failed to connect with the audience to a level where fans would root for her. She had the charisma and the presence, but couldn't find the success she or the company may have desired.

That said, the 35-year-old was really good at playing a heel character and was a natural on a microphone. She could use these skills to be a successful manager in WWE.


WHY THEY SHOULDN'T

#2. The Women's division in WWE is stacked

While Evans was a formidable competitor, one could argue that she may not have a place in the current women's roster, which is overflowing with talent.

There is no shortage of star power in the division, and given the upcoming wave of talent in NXT, Lacey Evans may not fit into the mix.


#1. To avoid potential bad blood between Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch

Given the recent controversy, Lacey and Becky are far from being on good terms. While they are professional, bringing The Sassy Southern Belle back may risk escalating the issue, something that could turn disastrous.

Moreover, The Man is one of the biggest superstars in the Stamford-based promotion, and the company may not want to upset her. The real-life issues between Becky and Lacey could risk reducing backstage morale.
