If you ask any WWE performer if they prefer to play a babyface or heel, 90 percent of them will say they much prefer the freedom of controlling a match and being able to do almost anything you want as a bad guy.

Charlotte Flair faced her toughest test yet on the main roster when, after being drafted to SmackDown Live in April, she transformed from a dastardly heel to a smiling babyface who had the unenviable job of trying to get fans who previously booed her back on her side.

Although she’s admitted in media interviews that the transition was difficult, that didn’t come across on screen and “The Queen” just got more and more popular as the months went on before her emotional SmackDown Live Women’s title victory over Natalya in November.
