Let me preface this by saying this isn't meant to be a discussion about whether or not her face turn will succeed, but more of a discussion on its effects, consequences, and where we go from here. Lets talk about all storyline possibilities, potential feuds, and how it affects the alignments of the other women.
I for one, am quite pleased that they went in this direction. Over the last few weeks, the Smackdown audiences have naturally turned Charlotte face because they appreciate her ability to elevate this division. Having her on the show automatically increases match quality and star power, and that only scratches the surface of the benefits of this move. They have also created fresh feuds, and opportunities to make new stars. They've greatly aided Charlotte's face turn with the booking of her match with Naomi. Like @Genetically Superior, I was worried that Charlotte would be plunged into a sea of jobbers and just dominate. Thankfully, they made an attempt to book Naomi as Charlotte's equal, while protecting them both with the finish. They've also given the heels something worthwhile to do as they plot against Charlotte's once seemingly inevitable domination of the division. This shows promise for the building of the other women. Now, onto the feud most people are looking forward to: Charlotte vs. Becky.
I have mixed emotions about this feud because of the multiple directions it can go. As previously discussed in the "I'm Glad Becky Didn't Come Out to Help Charlotte" thread: http://www.wrestlingforum.com/smack...t-come-out-help-charlotte-2.html#post67338417 , my ideal scenario is for Becky to turn heel for being fed up with being screwed repeatedly. What I fear, based on what I see with Sasha and Bayley, is that Charlotte and Becky act all buddy buddy like nothing ever happened, and they have a heatless feud with nothing to look forward to besides a good match. I don't want that. It's why I'm not clamoring for a Styles/Zayn face vs. face feud like others after the trade. I don't care how good the match is if there's no heat. I also don't want 8 months of teaming and corny, eye rolling segments before someone randomly turns heel. This is why I believe that the best way to rectify this situation, and generate the most interest, is to have Becky snap on Charlotte in the near future, instead of joining her in the crusade against Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina. At this point, Becky's character needs to be fed up with being a perpetual loser, repeatedly being betrayed, and having nothing to show for it. If she continues to act like everything is fine, then she'll look as dumb as Bray Wyatt.
So with all that said, what are your thoughts on Charlotte's face turn, the direction of the division, and the dynamic with Becky?
