Over the last few years WWE has tried several times to find the right presentation for Lacey Evans on television, and now it seems that the company is tweaking her gimmick once again. Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, a vignette aired which showed Lacey training and she declared that she will be putting her opponents away with the Cobra Clutch.
WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter reacted to news of Lacey using the Cobra Clutch, and he made it clear that he thinks it’s disrespectful that he wasn’t asked when he posted the following:
“I Like Lacy WHO? It’s Just Using My “Infamous” COBRACLUTCH Without Consulting ME & Getting My Permission That Is Very Very DisrespectfulAt Least Let Me Show & Train You How To Use The Most Decorated Finishing Maneuver In The History of Pro Wrestling”

At this point it’s not clear when Lacey Evans will be appearing on TV again, but it seems that Sgt. Slaughter would like to be consulted about the move.
