Working out better in the long run means Charlotte Flair ditching her magnanimous personality and once again becoming WWE's live-in aloof witch who looks down on everyone. Her current character, although smiley babyface, maintains that old quality, and it's simmering in the background.

The look she gave Becky post-match in San Antonio hints that the winds of change are about to blow through SmackDown like a tornado, leaving Lynch as the aforementioned anti-heroine and Charlotte in her more comfortable guise as a total cow.

Again, bring it bloody on.

Becky's prior heel turn may have been a red herring from WWE, one only thrown in to mask the real story: that Flair, just like her father, can't resist making things all about her. That's what Lynch shouted when she turned down her old pal's handshake gesture at HIAC. She's been telling the truth all along.
