1. Top female heel for Smackdown
One of the things WWE must fix when Bella returns is to establish her as a heel or a face. The weekly flip-flop changes for her won’t work anymore, and if they really want fans to take her seriously, she has to be one or the other. She would automatically be heel to fans if she returned and captured the Women’s Championship on SmackDown.
I can see Bella being a face for when Total Bellas premieres in two months, and which it would make sense because of promotion factors. But on the flip side, if she returns as a face, there is always a chance to turn her heel, especially with WrestleMania season coming. Bella has a lot of heat on her with the fans, and she can absolutely take advantage of it and use that to fuel her character. She has taken a lot of criticism over the years, and why not let her channel her frustration to her character? Who knows, it might do her some good.
