Did Ronda Rousey Turn Heel At WWE TLC By Pushing Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair Off A Ladder?

At WWE TLC, Asuka beat Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the first-ever Women’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Asuka owes part of her win to Ronda Rousey. Lynch and Flair were battling atop one of the ladders when the Raw Women’s Champion showed up. Rousey pushed the ladder over, sending Lynch and Flair out of the ring.

According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, Rousey’s interference was not meant as a heel turn. A WWE source told him that the move was no different than Asuka striking Lynch and Flair with a cane last week on SmackDown LIVE.

FWIW — According to one source, Ronda Rousey causing Becky Lynch/Charlotte Flair to lose at TLC tonight wasn’t meant to be a heel turn. It was told to me that this move was no different than Asuka caning the same women on SD Live this week.
