The women's division on SmackDown is very talented at the moment and that is, in part, owing to the fact that even Superstars like Dana Brooke who have been overlooked in the past are being pushed. But it's coming at the cost of established SmackDown stars such as Naomi, and there has been a massive outcry online for her to turn heel at some point.
I think it's all too possible for Naomi to turn heel on this week's episode of SmackDown. She could certainly go up to Dana Brooke and congratulate her on her victory and then, when people least expect it, Naomi could deck Brooke and go heel.
This makes a lot of sense to me because when Sasha Banks presumably becomes the SmackDown Women's Champion down the line, one would expect her to go face and she will need heels to challenge. There is nobody better than Naomi in this regard considering how good an athlete she is, and how much the audience would love to see Sasha vs. Naomi take place.
