Two Major Character Turns At WWE SummerSlam 2022
From babyface to heel, and from heel to babyface...
Coming out of WWE SummerSlam 2022, it appears that two of the company's top female talents have undergone character changes.
After coming up short against Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, it seems Becky Lynch has now turned babyface. Post-match, Big Time Becks shared a handshake and a hug with the EST, before then later standing side-by-side with Belair once the returning Bayley came out to confront Bianca. Of course, the Role Model wasn't alone, for she had Dakota Kai and IYO SKY (the former Io Shirai) with her.
Elsewhere, it appears that Ronda Rousey is now a heel. With her SmackDown Women's Title match ending controversially, Rousey attacked Liv Morgan after the bout, putting her in an armbar before then doing the same to the referee. As for that controversial finish, Morgan retained her prize after countering an armbar into a pinning combination and getting the three count. The issue here, was that Liv tapped out one second before the referee counted three.
These character changes, the return of Bayley, and the main roster arrivals of Kai and SKY certainly shake things up where the WWE's women's divisions are concerned.
