10 New Directions For WWE After Clash Of Champions 2019

5. A (Potentially Short) Charlotte Flair Babyface Turn

If there's one thing WWE love, it's foreshadowing a turn. Characters in this company tend to act a certain way before they go rogue or gain fan respect. That's just the way it is, and it's been the established formula for decades now with few exceptions. That's why Charlotte Flair might be about to turn baby.

Re-watch her performance at Clash Of Champions for more proof.

From the moment she walked through the curtain in her hometown, there was a different vibe to Flair's act. She was still aloof without appearing over-confident, and she didn't look at punters over the other side of the barrier with disdain. Sure, this could've been contextual due to the location, but it felt like more than that.

Charlotte was inoffensive on Sunday, and she has justification for hating Bayley's guts now the hugger has effectively cheated to beat her. That's something a top class athlete like Flair won't be able to stomach, and it could send her careening back into face territory so WWE can book a rematch.
