4. Face Turn #37
Sunday night at Extreme Rules, Brie Bella interfered in her sisters Divas Championship match to help preserve Nikkis title, a heel move by anyones objective measure. Twenty-four hours later on Raw, Brie was providing an update to WWE fans about the health of her husband, fan favorite Daniel Bryan. She then played the face in a losing effort to Naomi. Is an ounce of consistency too much to ask for here? Its not that the Bellas cant be faces, its that there has been no reason given to suddenly cheer them, and so fans cant get behind them or decide whether theyre supposed to boo them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT0TuuDcWus In Bries case, its even worse, as she went from being forced into being Nikkis b*tch for a month to turning heel for no stated reason, to face a week ago, to heel at Extreme Rules, back to face on Raw. You shouldnt need a scorecard to keep track of stuff like that.
