Royal Rumble 2019: 4 biggest questions from the PPV

#3 Is Becky Lynch a heel or a face?

Finlay gave the green signal to Lynch to enter the match

When the SmackDown Women’s Championship match begun, it was obvious that Becky Lynch was the heel in the battle while the reigning champion Asuka was the face.

Things did not change throughout the match, and the two competed under their assigned characters.

However, when Lana couldn’t enter the Royal Rumble match, Becky Lynch came out and pleaded WWE Producer Fit Finlay to let her take Lana’s place. Even though Lynch could have entered the match herself, she took the route a face would have taken to get a chance in the match.

On the other hand, a heel like Nia Jax first worsened Lana’s injury while entering the match, and then took R-Truth’s place in the men’s match after attacking the veteran superstar while staying true to her villainous character.

Lynch fought in the Royal Rumble against Charlotte and Nia Jax, both of whom are heels, and therefore it made little sense for three heels to be the last three in the match. Was Lynch a face during the Women’s Royal Rumble match?
