5 reasons why Triple H turned heel on WWE SmackDown

It's official. Triple H has turned heel again. Not only The Game, but Charlotte Flair seemingly turned heel too, refusing handshakes, acting annoying and showing all kinds of heelish tendencies as well.

Triple H came out and interrupted Becky Lynch's segment with Charlotte Flair and told The Queen to leave as the matter at hand didn't concern her. Becky Lynch made her way to SmackDown Live like a true babyface, entering from the crowd.

Becky Lynch stood her ground throughout the segment, not allowing herself to be escorted by referees and backstage officials. Triple H then went full-authority mode on her. He completely berated The Man, telling him that he believed her hype at first.

Moreover, when taunted about Stephanie McMahon's health after getting smacked in the jaw by Becky Lynch, he accused the Royal Rumble winner of faking an injury because she's "scared" of Ronda Rousey.

Triple H was a babyface since the Super Show-Down build-up, so why did he turn heel again? We give you five reasons why.

#5 To put over Becky Lynch as an underdog

WWE is heavily investing in Becky Lynch and it shows. After she turned at SummerSlam last year, her popularity only skyrocketed. Since then, she hasn't really been portrayed as an underdog, and that's a good thing.

However, to get more people behind her on the biggest stage of them all, WWE probably feels the need to put her in an underdog position. Thankfully, it's not the "previous" incarnation of Becky Lynch, as she has a lot more personality now.

So she does, in certain ways, come across as a "Stone Cold"-type babyface, in that she's placed in an underdog role but doesn't have an underdog attitude. She's stood face to face with John Cena, Ronda Rousey, Stephanie McMahon and now Triple H - all in just over a month!
