WWE should have paired released star with Chelsea Green, according to former manager
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell feels recently released Lacey Evans could have been a great tag team partner for Chelsea Green.
Green was forced into a partnership with Piper Niven after she showed up and proclaimed to be one-half of the Women's Tag Champs. This development came after Sonya Deville was sidelined with an injury that will keep her out for months.
On a recent episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran mentioned that WWE could've used Lacey Evans as a tag partner for Chelsea Green. He detailed that she would be a perfect replacement for the injured Sonya Deville because she had a personality and was better than some of the current women on the roster.
"So I'm thinking, that's the girl they need to go with. I think she would've been a great tag team partner for Chelsea Green. Who's Chelsea Green's partner that's hurt right now? Sonya Deville. She'd have been a great partner for her. She had a personality. A lot of those girls have no personality, even the ones they're trying to push. But this Lacey Evans was the real deal."
