4. More Like It From Bianca Belair

Let's try this again, eh?

Bianca Belair came across as a cold-hearted sort when she chewed through Naomi for getting the puppy dog eyes for Bayley's erm...puppy dog eyes. Naomi pointed out that she knows what it's like to have a group fall apart in front of you, but Bianca was having absolutely none of it. She can't feel bad for Bayley.

This was more than a slightly heelish vibe from Belair - it was a human response. Her history with Damage CTRL is well-known, and Bayley played a huge role in that. It'd be unrealistic if Bianca was suddenly upset for Bayley just because she's been suddenly booted from a faction that's caused so many problems for the women's division in the past.

Maybe WWE will actually go through with Belair's heel turn this time instead of getting cold feet. It's painfully obvious she needs to start doing something new, and short skits like this definitely show Bianca is capable of playing heel.

Pick a direction and stick with it, please.
