That 'Last Woman Standing' match was a classic example of how important chemistry is to building a great match. Neither Charlotte Flair nor Becky Lynch mind a few bruises, and they're comfy enough with one another to wing some parts of their brawls on the fly. Still, the way fans are responding to their feud won't have escaped their attention.

It's Lynch who is the cherished babyface, not Flair, and that may never change.

Fans have bought into Becky's tale of always being overlooked, and they know Charlotte comes from a more privileged background. Though those same folks respect Flair for stepping away from her father's immense shadow and becoming a star in her own right, they'll probably never fully embrace her the way they have Lynch.

The gig's up for WWE. It's time to turn Charlotte full-blown heel again and let her run amok as SmackDown's ice queen extraordinaire. If that's combined with Becky's anti-heroine personality, the sparks will fly and WWE will be able to squeeze way more from this feud.
