WWE SmackDown: 5 things we learned from this week’s episode (December 4, 2018)

#1 It’s impossible to distinguish between a heel and a face

Remember a time when there was a clear divide between the heels and the faces in WWE? Well, it seems like the creatives have decided to throw that out of the window now.

RAW has seen Braun Strowman turn face, then heel, then face again within a month. Dana Brooke too is a face one week and a heel the next without any reason or story.

SmackDown displayed something similar this week as the faces and heels divide wasn’t working too well. Mandy Rose teased turning on her partner but was with her again in a heel role against Charlotte and Asuka.

Charlotte seemed like a face against The IIconics a couple of episodes ago but emerged as a heel in last night’s match. It seems like she is a face for the heels and a heel for the faces.

The biggest surprise was The Miz operating as a heel and even helping his old nemesis Daniel Bryan against AJ Styles. Wasn’t The Miz teasing a slow face turn just a couple of weeks back?

All the mix-ups are proving that the creatives are confused themselves in which direction to take certain superstars, and only time will help us figure out who is with who and which character they are playing.
