Thumbs up or Thumbs down: Recent heel/face turns in WWE

#4 Sasha Banks - Thumbs Up

'The Boss'

Prior to Bayley turning heel, Sasha Banks returned from a hiatus after SummerSlam. While it initially seemed as if she would be a face once again, Banks instead flipped the script by attacking Natalya during a segment on RAW. Fresh with a new hair color, it made natural sense for Banks to return to being a heel.

For the last couple of years, Banks has been a face alongside the likes of Bayley and Becky Lynch, but sometimes things just need to change. By changing her hair, her alignment, and her theme song, 'The Boss' has sold the heel turn very well. She's better as an arrogant braggart complete with gaudy jewelry and flashy clothes.

Once she was drafted to SmackDown, however, it made things seem strange since the two top women on the show were friends and heels. It also foreshadowed that one of the recent turns wouldn't last very long, if the two are to face off over the title down the road.

While Banks is good at being a face due to being one of the smaller women in the company, it's often the attitude that helps sell the character even better. Alexa Bliss is also smaller, but is brilliant at selling the arrogance of a smaller heel. The two women are on different sides of the coin on the Blue Brand, but Banks as a heel just feels right.
