7 Real Reasons WWE Turned Becky Lynch Heel
2. Heels Have It Easier In This Company Than Faces
Okay, here's a part where I actually do take WWE to task for how they run things instead of cynically defending them. At some point, they seem to have forgotten what good people act and talk like. The blame likely has to do with having a whole staff of writers who have varying levels of knowledge of wrestling and who all have to cater to the fickle opinions of one man while also keeping up the mandates of a brand-obsessed corporate office. In short: there's too many cooks being forced to make a bland, consistently inconsistent product.
In effect, that means that all the babyfaces talk and act the same, and they're not allowed to have many dimensions beyond generic "good guy" attributes. Heels, meanwhile, are at least allowed to show some bare humanity and inflect some real-world frustration and indignation into their characters. That's why, despite the tonal dissonance of her performance with the crowd reaction, Becky still gave the promo of her career this past Tuesday.
"Okay," you say. "But what good is Becky turning heel if it's just meant to build Charlotte? Charlotte is overpushed and overrated!"
Time for the finale...
