Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Kairi Sane vs Lacey Evans

Here's the match video of Kairi Sane vs Lacey Evans from this week's episode of NXT. This was set up last week when Lacey insulted the entire NXT women's division. Lacey has been in NXT for a couple of years. Her real name is Macey Estrella. she is 28 years old from Statesboro, GA. She has a great back story. She had a rough childhood and she was a US Marine for five years. They turned her heel a while back and she is called The Lady of NXT. The gimmick is she claims to be classy but is actually nasty. Her ring gear reminds me of 1940s pinup girl Betty Grable. Part of her problem is she lacks spontaneity. Her dance to the ring seems over choreographed. And her ring work is dull. This is a show and she has to sell herself. She doesn't seem to know how to do that. This is what happens when the WWE trains wrestlers to follow a script. They don't learn to improvise. Lacey looks pretty good in this match because Kairi is great at selling offense. Lacey can learn a lot from Kairi about how to connect with fans and hook them. That's what she does in this match. After selling Lacey's offense, Kairi makes her comeback and sells the drama of that comeback. And then of course Kairi wins with the elbow drop. The fans go crazy. Kairi is a polished performer. She's an expert at connecting with fans. Though I expect this feud to continue for the near future, I also expect Kairi to get a title shot at the June Takeover show in June. And she could win depending on whether the WWE wants to bring Shayna Baszler up to the main roster. And I will keep you up to date with how that all develops on the blog and my podcast.
