The Sassy Southern Belle Lacey Evans was just revealed as the special guest referee for the Universal Championship match at WWE Stomping Grounds.
Baron Corbin made the announcement after Seth Rollins made a threat about hitting whoever it was with a chair, same as he did to Brock Lesnar during his cash-in attempt last month. The referee’s identity was teased throughout the week and during tonight’s show, with Paul Heyman being shown as a possible choice. While it seemed to be hinted at on social media earlier this week that Evans could be a choice, it seems clear that Corbin chose Evans to play up on Rollins’ real life relationship with his girlfriend (and Evans’ opponent earlier in the night), RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.
Well THIS is unexpected. The referee of this #UniversalTitle Match is none other than the #SassySouthernBelle, @LaceyEvansWWE! #WWEStompingGrounds pic.twitter.com/2cIJM0iniY
