Thumbs up or Thumbs down: Recent heel/face turns in WWE

#3 Charlotte Flair - Thumbs Down

Lynch needed an ally when challenging the heel Kabuki Warriors.

Much like Orton, any time that Charlotte Flair "turns" it doesn't seem as monumental as when others do. When she is a heel she's usually loud and a braggart while also spewing rhetoric about being better than everyone else.

As a face, she talks a little less. Similar to Orton's turns, the main things that change are the opponents they face rather than tweaks in character. If she had a promo where she claimed that her constant bragging about being superior might have been misguided at times, then it would at least sell being a face. Even acknowledging through a promo that Becky Lynch has done wonders for the company would have at least given her a shred of being a wiser 'Queen.'

Claiming to be better than everyone and shoving it in their face is her thing, but after the WWE Draft, bookers wanted Flair as a face until the inevitable showdown with Lynch. Flair has her section of fans regardless of whether she is a bad guy or a good guy, but subtle changes help to sell heel/face turns. When nothing is done, it doesn't really seem different to most astute fans.
