You turn your most natural babyface into a heel:hula:
You tell her to criticize the fans for not being loyal to her despite them cheering otherwise:hula:
Charlotte is getting booed but you choose to ignore it :hula:

edit
and i bet the only reason they turned her heel is because they refuse to turn charlotte heel(again)

they could have easily had Becky cut the same exact promo minus the fan loyality bit as a face and it would have garnered an even bigger reaction. and have charlotte agree saying it should always be about Flair, turning her heel. But nope:francis:

It is weird that they turned Becky Lynch rather than turning Charlotte. They've managed to taint all their babyface females but Becky's heat persisted and I did suspect it was due to them not really focusing on her and just letting her have matches. It's like when they try to build on something that's already there they just bring hammers to the job and end up destroying everything.

They didnt turn Charlotte because it was hard for them to get her this over..they took her off Raw and away from Sasha and Bayley..who they thought were the top two faces before they got buried and their reactions went down. Asuka stayed very over though..so they had her break her streak and the fans didnt really turn on Charlotte during that feud or match..they must of thought she reached a new level of being over after WM 34. There were endless complaints online about Asuka losing but Flair received no backlash and kept getting praised as close to the best still. She ducked that one. She was lucky.

Unlike Bayley and Sasha, Becky was on Smackdown usually very over even though she ate pinfalls. They put Bliss over her and then they had Naomi go over Bliss for two title wins. Then Nattie got pushed over that and then they went right back to Charlotte...they must of thought Becky wasnt really loved by fans compared to the other 3 even though they turned on everyone on Smackdown for her except when Lana returned with the dancing gimmick and got huge cheers and they booed out the entire division that was making fun of her in that segment.

Now it's full circle..with Asuka taken off tv...Sasha and Bayley elsewhere..Ronda elsewhere....signals got crossed that Charotte was more popular than Lynch. Lol. Wrong. Money in the Bank proved that. Stupid.

Charlotte really is the female Reigns

This is almost like how Seth returned in 2016 to a huge reaction and then shytted on the fans in the promo, luckily the retified the mistake by turning him face two months later, hopefully WWE realizes their mistake.

Road Dogg said nobody wanted Becky vs Asuka at SummerSlam, now he’s defending turning Lynch heel, WWE has entered into the dark days of TNA territory.

I won’t waste a lot of time complaining about WWE’s lazy Susan understanding of how “being a heel” is supposed to work, where the talking point slowly rotates between “they’re a heel if they’re getting booed,” to, “they’re a heel if they’re acting like a heel whether they’re being cheered or not, and faces are heels if they’re acting like faces and getting booed,” to, “it’s a popularity contest,” to, “it’s whoever the announcers say is the face or the heel this week,” to, “any reaction is a good reaction.” Sheamus has been stuck on that last one since like 2012. What I will say is that Becky Lynch cut the best promo of her WWE career on Smackdown, her actions are 100% justifiable and understandable, and WWE should really consider coming around on this crowd reaction and understanding that Becky’s easy to love and Charlotte’s a goddamn FLAIR.

I don’t know if WWE ever really understood how hated Ric Flair was, or was supposed to be. He spend his prime in the NWA being the world’s worst person for like an entire decade. In the ’90s he went face a few times, sure, based almost purely on nostalgia and longtime wrestling fans coming around to the understanding that yeah, he sucks in every way a human can, but he’s so good at it that you have to laugh and clap for him. His 1992 WWF run got it, but when he came back he was already Old Man Flair, the icon you want to see (because he’s Ric Flair) but he’s not going to really do anything. WWE thinks of Flair’s legacy as that part for his entire career. Charlotte’s out here being the worst definition of Female Roman Reigns, down to the bad promos and good matches with absolutely no understanding of how human emotions work and a complete deafness to the audience’s response, and longtime fans are just dying for her to cut the shyt and be a Flair.

I agree that people shouldn't be upset/booing about Becky being portrayed as a heel & Charlotte being portrayed as a face. That's not WHY they're booing though. They're booing because Charlotte was just handed another title reign, while Becky has been legitimately carrying the Smackdown women since the brand split and only having a short run with the title to show for it. I watched what little I did of Smackdown last week because I wanted to see Becky.
