5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown (Dec 22)

3. Charlotte Continued To Turn Heel

Team B.A.D pouring eggnog over Becky Lynch was mentioned as a negative in a previous entry. It wasn't really the act which was the problem, more so the confusing booking of the heel squad. WWE's creative team had better things in mind for Charlotte on Smackdown, she was booked effectively. The question is still open regarding a full heel turn. Fans have started resenting the idea that Charlotte is using so many of Ric Flair's spots and mannerisms during matches. That can only be considered a good thing. Beforehand, it wasn't working because it wasn't clear whether or not the WWE Divas Champion was babyface or villain. It seems clear that she will eventually turn on Becky Lynch properly, so any chance to jeer her should be encouraged. The best part of her match against Brie Bella was when the reigning champion ignored the beating her so-called friend was receiving from Team B.A.D at ringside. Charlotte had the chance to win a match, which should always be the most important thing to a champion. Instead of helping her pal, she chose to lock on the Figure Eight and defeat Bella, then chuckle at Becky's misfortune.
