WWE teased a heel turn already with Charlotte Flair on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live during a backstage segment. For those who missed it, Charlotte was acting heel during he backstage segment when she pointed blame at Noami for Becky Lynch’s loss. Lynch stepped in to clam things down. While things appear to look good right now, they have begun teasing a possible Flair vs. Naomi match, which may take place after WWE Backlash.
Dave Meltzer mentioned on the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that there was a lot of opposition in WWE on the idea of turning her babyface in the first place because they believed it was not exactly the right time for it. It is very possible that she only remains as a babyface for a little while before she turns back to a heel character.
