Honestly, the Lacey Evans promo did not resonate with me as much as it seemed to with the rest of the audience, but it got them into the segment and that's honestly half the job done. It would lead to a brawl with Bayley that would disrupt a backstage promo and in time, even disrupt a promo to the point where it got ridiculous.
I would have loved to see the next chapter of the Mandy Rose and Otis saga because of how entertaining it has been over the last few weeks, but it was ruined because the Bayley-Evans brawl continued all the way to the ring disrupting the match and killing any excitement ahead of the Royal Rumble. The booking of the women's division has been really shoddy if you discount the feud between Becky Lynch and Asuka and even in that feud, it is pretty easy to see that The Man will emerge as the winner.

And thanks to Evans, we didn't get to see The Goddess perform this week!
