Then Mickie turned face and Alexa said some pretty bad things about her......

Leading to the Elimination Chamber, Bliss started to try to weasel her way to a friendship/alliance with Mickie to help her against Absolution. One week before the Chamber Mickie did help save Bliss against Absolution, but had the look of "sure, why not" like a face playing along.

Then the Chamber came and Alexa was acting like they were BFFs, but Mickie was still acting and rassling as a face, and the question was "will there actually be an alliance between the two once they are both in the ring?"....... but then Mickie was eliminated before Alexa ever entered.

Then the next night Mickie was a heel and best friends with Alexa.

Does Mickie really HAVE to explain herself? Not every turn has to be so grandiose.

Maybe it was based on conversations the two had not in front of a crowd and into a microphone. Not that far-fetched.

Standard WWE "Every babyface has to be an underdog!" despite that not being why Asuka has an undefeated streak... but it is a pretty succinct summation of the trap they fall into every time.

Roman Reigns clearly the anointed chosen one? UNDERDOG! WATCH HIM GET BEAT UP AND BE SURPRISED AT HIS COMEBACK!

John Cena beats everyone all the time as WWE Champion? UNDERDOG! MARVEL AS HE SOMEHOW OVERCOMES THE ODDS (odds were 1 to 1 in his favor)

Sure. But that one wasn't IMPORTANT. Nobody seemed to care when Dana Brooke suddenly turned face and joined Titus Worldwide. Or when Titus Worldwide suddenly turned face.

There was no reason to waste TV time explaining a Mickie James heel turn when you hardly noticed she was there in the first place. I've seen heel turns as simple as someone showing up with a "new attitude". The important thing is that she's in a more prominent role now, so good for her. And for us, if she's going to keep dressing like that.

Outside of a couple of quick squashes, that's pretty much been the case with Asuka's handling on RAW.

Her streak is like Taker's Mania streak where WWE lucked into it happening and then only focusing on the streak instead of making her as the women's division version of the "Final Boss" like Lesnar.

She turned face before Titus Worldwide vs. Charlotte.

Titus O'Neil face turn and Titus Worldwide thing was very weird as well, but no one cares as much because no one really cares about Titus O'Neil.

I'm most definitely not worried about Mickie's alignment. Like, at all. If Roman suddenly started Superman punching kids, they'd definitely have to say SOMETHING. At least they mentioned it being weird on commentary as opposed to acting like nothing happened.

I cared about Mickie James.... and she was firmly a face. Enjoyed her brief feud with Bliss and thought Mickie gained a lot of steam as a face from it and it made me want to see her as a future champ again. Now as a heel she is back to "spinning her wheels".

Emperor Smeat 03-19-2018 09:08 PM

Would be pretty great if Braun pulled a Freebird-like move with his tag partner in the sense of having a new one every week. He'd be the sole tag team champion if he wins the belts and the other guy is just there in the background soley to meet the tag requirements.

This and or James Ellsworth would be a fun time and an easy out when you're done with Braun in the tag division and want him back in the singles main event scene. Ellsworth/jobber finally breaks the unwritten rule, tags himself in, and gets immediately smashed and pinned.

Braun murders Ellsworth/jobber, returns to main event feuds.
