Remember last week when Lacey Evans turned heel after losing a karaoke competition to Naomi? It was a bit weird but at least it set up a match between the two.

Due to the lack of women on the roster as a whole during the pandemic, WWE knows that they have limited names to work with and they have to do well to establish both Lacey Evans and Naomi as title contenders.

It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Lacey Evans defeated Naomi after tying her hair to the ropes and then hitting her with the Woman's Right to pick up the victory.

At this point with Bayley as the heel Champion for the foreseeable future, one would think that Naomi should have picked up the win to establish herself as the next title contender.

However, it seems like Lacey Evans could get back in the title picture for the first time since WrestleMania 36. But we would rather see a trilogy between Evans and Naomi - one that helps establish both Superstars.
