Sgt Slaughter Rejected WWE Pitch To Work With Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans returned to WWE television with a new gimmick change, and it received mixed reviews. Now, we have a bit more about this situation behind the scenes.

As we previously reported, WWE doesn’t have any plan to push Lacey Evans, despite her return to the company’s television product. Now, it appears that she has upset the daughter of a WWE Hall of Famer in the process.

Lacey Evans even drew a lot of attention to herself by copying Sgt Slaughter’s look. Sgt Slaughter’s daughter threw shots at Evans, and then the Lady of WWE fired a shady tweet in her direction.

To top it all off, Lacey Evans wasn’t done with Sgt Slaughter’s daughter. She tossed another insult her way, but that might not help WWE book her.

Wrestle Votes added a bit of insight to things on their Twitter account. They tweeted out to say that Sgt Slaughter was asked to appear alongside Lacey Evans in January, and the Cobra Clutch was going to be a part of the story.

Adding to the Lacey Evans / Sgt. Slaughter story… back in January WWE asked Sarge to appear in the Lacey return vignettes, where he would “teach” & pass down the Cobra Clutch. Slaughter adamantly denied any involvement.

We will have to see if Lacey Evans gains any steam in WWE. Obviously, she has a lot of attention, but higher-ups need to agree with that assertion first.

Either way, Lacey Evans will continue promoting herself on social media, and her replies are straight fire if you catch her in the wrong mood.
