• AEW Wrestler Hated Her Name In WWE
Lacey Lane (fka Kayden Carter) was among the wrestlers released by WWE during this year’s spring roster cuts. She recently appeared in ROH and AEW after her non-compete clause expired.
Speaking to the Wrestling-Wrestling podcast, the former Women’s Tag Team Champion talked about her time in WWE and said that she did not like the “Kayden Carter” name, which was inspired by former NBA player Vince Carter’s name.
“When I tell you I hate that name. It was, so basically in NXT, I was there for the time they were going to go on TV when USA acquired NXT, so it was half on TV and half on the Network. At the time I was upcoming, so I was still Lacey Lane, and the writer at the time was like ‘you need to pick a name or you’re not gonna be on TV’ and I was like ‘okay.’
So I sent him a list, from 1 to 10, and Kayden was like down at 9 or 10. He ended up picking that one, he was like ‘I like this name Kayden’, and he really wanted me to have a Basketball last name, and that’s where Carter came from, because Vince Carter is 15 and that’s my Basketball number.
I was throwing things out there like Rodman, and like, Bibby, I was like these are not gonna make sense, the most practical one, and it makes sense because it’s my number would be Carter, so that’s where that came from. That’s the only other way I could incorporate Basketball into my character.”
Lacey Lane lost to TBS Champion Mercedes Moné in her AEW debut match a couple of weeks ago.
• “I really hope that baby ain’t a b*tch like his daddy” – Drew McIntyre To Naomi
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre denied claims that he attacked Jacob Fatu backstage and instead accused Jimmy Uso of being behind the attack on his cousin. During the heated exchange with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Drew brought up Jimmy’s wife, Naomi, and said that Jimmy might have taken a page out of her playbook, referencing Naomi’s attack on Jade Cargill last year.
Jimmy then attacked Drew, which led to a No Disqualification Match in the main event between the two men. The Scottish Psychopath emerged victorious after a brutal encounter.
Following the match, Drew took to X to taunt Naomi by posting a photo of himself standing tall over Jimmy and Cody and captioned it with the former Women’s World Champion’s catchphrase:
“Proceed. With. Caution.”
Naomi then fired back:
“Who can volunteer as tribute to carry my baby a few days so I can beat Drew A$$?”
Drew responded:
“You know I love you, but I really hope that baby ain’t a b*tch like his daddy.”
This led to Naomi tweeting:
“His? How you know it’s not a girl a$$hole!? 20 years from now when my baby drag you out of your nursing home bed don’t call me for help”
Drew McIntyre will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event in six days.
