It's not at all anything she's doing, just the cuts and flashing name.

They've done something weird with that lady's eyes, both in that gif and the match graphic. She looks like Sean Young in Blade Runner, which is to say she looks like an android.

They’ve given Lacey so many gimmick changes that I wish that if they are going to give her a gimmick, that they would stick to it( for maybe 6 months) so she can swim or really sink with what she’s been given.

It was funny because they also did that separately with both Emma and Eva Marie. Probably others I'm forgetting too.

WWE signs multi-year deal with Twitch which will have things like a sidecast to Monday Night Raw.

Glizzy Evans

There are actually very subtle differences. Emma was repackaged as Emmalina and they kept saying she was coming soon, but kept delaying it until the joke became that Emmalina kept getting delayed. And then they debuted Emmalina and she said anyway, I'm going back to Emma and then they teased the return of Emma a few times and then Emma came back and didn't really do anything. The announcers got increasingly annoyed with this gimmick, Corey Graves held out the longest but eventually got sick of it as well.

Eva Marie on the other hand had a gimmick where she would be announced for a match and then her tron would give an excuse for why she wasn't there. The announcers would go oh y'know, traffic really is terrible at 8:30 at night I hope she's okay. In the midst of this gimmick there was a segment where Sami demanded a trade to SmackDown because Mick Foley wouldn't let him wrestle Braun Strowman and Foley traded him for Eva Marie, and Sami was furious and said, I quote, I'm worth a thousand Eva Maries.

And I know what you're thinking, but here's the twist. I'm not loving with you and all of that actually happened.

Emmalina info

I looked this up and apparently the reason why the Emmalina gimmick was scrapped, was that Vince and his cronies (probably Kevin Dunn specifically) wanted her to be a Sable-type heel, that was arrogant about her looks and wasn't shy about using her body and feminine wiles to get what she wanted. And apparently Tenille Dashwood either wasn't comfortable playing that type of character, or else Vince and Dunn weren't getting the J.O. material performance out of her that they wanted, so they just trashed the character and sent Dashwood into WWE/NXT puragtory before she got released.

It still seems so weird to me to build around someone unable to wrestle well and build towards her wrestling eventually when the end state will be a bad wrestling match. WWE really doesn't want to be a wrestling company lol

Wikipedia posted:

Marie's last appearance in WWE, occurred when she was involved in an injury angle on the September 27 edition of Raw, after being attacked by Shayna Baszler, who had begun using the steel steps to injure her opponents.[88] A report later revealed the injury was a storyline to write her off TV so she could start production on a movie. On November 4, Marie was reportedly released by WWE, as part of a seventh round of layoffs that involved administrative staff and talent.

This is the plot of the movie she was in; Phoenix
But IMDB doesn't even have it listed on her page nor do I see it ever came out. All I see is the Deadline article annoucing it and she tweeted out some BTS pics

Deadline posted:

Phoenix centers on Fiona “Phoenix” Grant (Marie), a U.S. Army veteran Sergeant who is teaching hand-to-hand combat skills in Afghanistan when she receives word that her father, Everett Grant (Randy Couture), a prominent security specialist, has been killed in Florida. The police report says it was suicide, but Fiona doesn’t believe it. Encouraged to take a leave of absence by her commanding officer (McDonough), she heads back to the U.S. and soon learns that the prime suspect is Maxim Vasiliiev (Prudius), a ruthless local drug kingpin with an army of mercenaries and enough legal, political and business influence to keep him outside the law. Armed to the teeth, she plans to take out Vasiliiev with her bare hands, and nothing is going to stop her.
