As we have been reporting on, Becky Lynch was unsuccessful last night in her SmackDown LIVE Women’s Title Triple Threat Match against Charlotte and Carmella. Following the match she appeared to have turned heel when she attacked Charlotte who was celebrating her title win in the ring.
The match and Becky Lynch’s turn on Charlotte was discussed on today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live. During the discussion Bryan Alvarez breaks down the spot and says that it in actually wasn’t designed to be an actual heel turn.
Regarding the SmackDown Women’s Title Match and Becky Lynch’s attack on Charlotte afterwards, Alvarez said:
“In the match, Becky is beating up Carmella. She is hitting all of her moves. She has the match that she earned and deserved, she has it won and her best friend flies in and hits her with a move from behind and pins her.”
“In no universe was it out of character for Becky to finally snap when it happened. The fans went crazy when this happened, they chanted Becky’s name because the finish played into the storyline as the perfect way to screw Becky and make her a sympathetic character and then when Becky attacked her they went crazy.”
“It was all by design in the storyline. We shall see on Tuesday if you don’t believe me but it was not a heel turn.”
