#1 Lacey Evans

Evans, a rumoured opponent for Asuka at Mania

The Lady of WWE, and one of the fastest rising stars in NXT, Lacey Evans has been the talk of the town since the past several weeks. Her appearance at the Royal Rumble was well received by the sea of fans inside the arena, and she has made several appearances since then on both brands.

Lacey first appeared on Monday Night Raw, when she interrupted Alexa Bliss' on her talk show, "Moment of Bliss". She interrupted the match between Mandy and Asuka this past week on SmackDown.

It's still not clear what are WWE's plans with her, but if rumours are to be believed, Lacey is set to challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women's title at WrestleMania 35. If this is what WWE wants to go with, they need to build things in a rush, as Fastlane is almost upon us. Once Asuka disposes of Mandy Rose, let Lacey attack Asuka on SmackDown, kicking off the build-up to an eventual Mania matchup.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
