1. Conclusion: Turn her
Though the powers that be seem insistent on digging in their heels when it comes to face or heel alignment in spite of crowd reactions, there are times when it makes sense to go with the flow of the crowd response.
Flair could probably get more over as a heel now than she can as a face, which could help her longer term trajectory as one of the top pushed stars in the company.
Add the way that Flair carries herself, and that she’s physically bigger and stronger than most of her opponents, and it’s difficult to ever sell her as a plucky underdog, or like she doesn’t enter the ring with an advantage.
Playing heel feels a little more natural for her, at least at this point in her career, and WWE would be well served to pit her in a top heel role for the blue brand, and set her up for a face turn when the fans legitimately seem ready to get behind her.
