#5 Charlotte could work well as a ‘tweener'
Trending
Last week’s Wrestler of the Week, Charlotte Flair, had another busy day at the office on Tuesday night. After defeating Naomi to earn her spot as the number one contender last week, she found herself in the main event of the show to compete for the title itself.
Charlotte is effectively between two different feuds at the moment. On the one hand, she is fighting Naomi for the title; and on the other, she has the newly formed ‘welcoming committee’ (I hope that becomes their official name) to contend with. All of this is starting to point towards a face turn for the Queen. But if this week was anything to go by, the company might do better to consider making her a tweener instead.
The tweener character isn’t something you see a lot of in today’s WWE, which is strange considering how many heels get cheered and how many faces get booed on a weekly basis. A tweener is someone who just does their thing and lets the crowd decide for themselves, a bit like Stone Cold Steve Austin. Turning Charlotte face would be a bit of a mistake considering she is very good at being obnoxious and looking down at everyone else. However, the dynamics of her against a hostile stable works too.
Charlotte is basically in a league of her own at the moment, so separating her from the standard babyface/heel divide would make sense. This is essentially the role she played this week on SmackDown, and hopefully, we get to see a similar thing play out over the next few weeks.
