Former WWE on-screen manager Dutch Mantell recently handed props to Lacey Evans for her promo on SmackDown this week.
The self-proclaimed American Hero was yet again upset with the disrespect shown to her by the fans. She cut a promo stating that she was a former US Marine and sacrificed for their welfare. She even tried to apologize for her actions last week. However, the WWE Universe was having none of it and the 32-year-old walked out without competing in her match against Aliyah.
Speaking on this week's episode of the Smack Talk podcast, Mantell praised the promo. He detailed that Evans seemed to have some beef with the fans and that was garnering her reactions from the audience. He went on to say that she is cementing her position as the top heel in the Women's Division.

"I loved the promo. I loved it. It was good. And then she left. You're not acting, right? 'I'm an American hero, and you should be cheering me because I sacrificed for you and look at you.' So she's putting the heat on the fans. Not on your opponent, on the fans and that'll always get you heat. Then she says, 'Screw it, I'm just leaving.' I think she's got more heat than any of them, I mean, out of the girls," Mantell said. (From 23:46 - 24:14)
