8 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: 4-time World champion makes big appearance change, Returning star turns face (November 29th, 2019)

#6. Lacey Evans is next in line for a title shot

Lacey Evans has been a babyface for a bit now but hasn't had much screen time for her character to grow and develop. Tonight's main women's segment featured SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks shaming the SmackDown Women's Division for their performance at Survivor Series.

They blamed everyone, of course, except for themselves. Bayley was promptly met with "You tapped out" - factually correct chants. Sasha Banks started ripping apart the division one by one, including the likes of Carmella, Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke and the moment Lacey Evans' name was brought up, she came out.

The Sassy Southern Belle cut a promo that was...less than impressive, to say the least, but it got the crowd going. To her credit, she was met with "Lacey Evans" chants and the crowd was surprisingly hot for her as a babyface.

After smacking Sasha Banks with a Woman's right, it was established that she will be challenging for the title again. It's perhaps the right time to do so as she hasn't been in the title picture for over four months now. She certainly comes as an unexpected title challenger for Bayley.
