Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Lacey Evans vs Kairi Sane

Here's the match video of Lacey Evans vs Kairi Sane from this week's episode of NXT. I post all of Kairi's matches for fans who don't have the WWE Network. You may recall that Kairi won over Lacey last month. The notable thing about that match was it was Lacey's best match to date. So the WWE decided to put Lacey in an extended program with Kairi so Lacey can learn to be a natural performer. The WWE likes Lacey's back story as a Marine and a single mother. And obviously she can memorize a script. The trick is taking that script and making it look natural and make fans respond to that. Lacey hasn't figured that part out yet. But it's one of Kairi's strengths. A couple of weeks ago, Lacey came out and pretend apologized to Kairi and KOd her with her finisher A Woman's Right. It's a punch. I think it's difficult to make a punch look like a credible finisher today. Of course Kairi sold it like she got shot. Then last week after a jobber win, Kairi came out and attacked Lacey. That set up this match. And again Kairi makes Lacey look much better than she really is. And Lacey even got the win with her finisher. My guess is these two will have a rubber match at NXT Takeover Chicago. Time will tell if Lacey can improve as a performer. She's been at NXT for a couple of years and there's something lacking in her performances. I think she is the victim of the WWE's scripting of everything and she lacks the ability to improvise. That could be tough to overcome. Enjoy the video!
