One gets invested in a WWE RAW or SmackDown character when there has been some kind of build, some kind of storyline that gets the audience to root for or against them. When it comes to Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce, we have absolutely no reason to care about them becoming a part of the WWE RAW Women's Survivor Series team really.
Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce will replace Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke on Team #WWERaw
Over the weeks, we'd come to become fans of the WWE RAW alliance of Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke as they racked up wins and showed good tag team chemistry, and for them to be written off the team owing to Mandy Rose's injury is fine.
However, wouldn't it have made sense to replace them with someone a little more interesting than the makeshift WWE RAW team of Peyton Royce and Lacey Evans?
Even Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross would have made far better candidates than the two women that were finally shortlisted for the spot.
