3 Things WWE made clear through Bayley's heel turn

This week on Raw, the biggest talking point was the heel turn of Bayley in the main event. The Huggable One aided her former tag team partner Sasha Banks, as both of them unloaded on Becky Lynch.

On SmackDown Live, Bayley explained her actions saying that she is still Sasha's best friend and what she did was done to help The Boss. After that, Charlotte Flair took the beating from Sasha and Bayley, being the recipient of multiple chair shots.

This heel turn wasn't seen coming by many WWE fans; this has surely shaken up the SmackDown Women's roster. Vince McMahon has really pulled the rabbit out of the hat through this decision.

Right now, on both brands, the four horsewomen are involved in the top-tier feuds. Bayley will face Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Clash Of Champions, while Becky will defend her Raw Women's Championship against Banks. Their dominance does not seem temporary by any stretch of imagination.

In this piece though, we are going to take a look at the three things WWE made clear through the Huggable One's heel turn:


#3 Charlotte Flair mawy be turning face

We all know how much Vince hates seeing a face vs face or heel vs heel clash. Currently, both Flair and Bayley are working as heels; considering that the latter has recently turned heel, The Queen could turn face.

We still have one week to go for Clash Of Champions. We could possibly see a face turn from Charlotte next week on SmackDown. Also, her face turn would make a lot of sense as she could use some fresh elements to her character.

For far too long she has been playing a heel. If the face turn happens, it will be a welcome change for The Queen.

#2 The Boss 'n' Hug Connection is still very strong

Bayley has not lost her love for Sasha Banks. It seems that The Boss 'n' Hug Connection is still very strong. Vince hasn't ruled out the possibility of another tag team stint for Bayley and Banks by making this move.

The only points of speculation in this story line are the delay in Bayley's heel turn, and the fact that she waited until Lynch returned. Baring these two aspects, not many in the WWE Universe would have minded the collaboration between The Boss and The Huggable One.

One thing that WWE made clear was the fact that this team is still going strong and both of them mean business.


#1 Bayley's heel turn was done in order to shake the entire Women's Division on SmackDown

Since Bayley won the SmackDown Women's Championship from Becky Lynch, things have been really bland on the blue brand as far as the Women's division is concerned. There haven't been many challengers for The Huggable One other than Ember Moon and Charlotte.

What this Bayley heel turn does is that it opens up space for a possible babyface to stand up and be considered for contention. This changes things drastically on the blue brand. Over the next few weeks on SmackDown, we might enjoy the Women's matches more than we have done in months.

Where this story line eventually leads will be interesting to see. Right now, it seems like The Boss and The Huggable One are ruling the Women's division.
