Echoing what others have said, we can't sit here and scream about how babyfaces are all dumb and spineless but then criticize Bianca for reacting accordingly and teaching Becky a lesson. And while we're at it, I LOVED Bianca's body language/facials after she'd taken Becky down and realized what she was trying to do She didnt teach Becky any lesson lol. She looks even better now. That's where she failed.

I want Joan Jett to show up and whip her ass for thinking that's good hair.

I really don’t think someone can be a face and cut people’s hair… Hair stylists: the most evil people on the planet.

I really don’t see how it’s different than a face using a chair after the heel introduced it.
“I mean f*** it, if you really ain’t gonna use it…” play “mind” games and sometimes, you wind up winning the prize you didn’t want.

I also feel like there’s some pretty important context missing from this thread about how foul Becky’s action actually would have been because of the cultural importance of black hair. I’m certainly not going into depth but just understand this was like trying to take a luchadore’s mask except there’s no monetary prize or glory. It’s being vile FOR the sake of being vile

Yeah, Becky was being a bitch. Plus messing with hair is an old trope in wrestling(ie. Paul Jones shaving Jimmy Valian's beard). I mean Bianca in a Hair vs. Hair match would be major heat, if done right.

I've only been watching occasionally and it's pretty obvious how Bianca is the face here even with cutting Becky's hair. Turnabout is fair play and Becky has been messing with Bianca and her hair for ages... AND was the one that introduced the scissors to begin with the express purpose of cutting off her braid. Becky is 100% in the wrong here and I know it's rare ... but this is the type of comeuppance that heels should be facing more often. Especially if they aren't losing matches too. Pretty much made a career out of it. hell it's one of the only successful gimmicks Ed had... I just assumed the sarcasm was implied. My mistake. sarcasm doesn't travel well over text.

Exactly. It’s like the old thing of “Heel introduces object, abuses faces with it, eventually gets comeuppance” that’s as old as wrestling’s used foreign objects in matches.

It’s being vile FOR the sake of being vile Yeah, someone pointed it out on Twitter and it clearly wasn’t WWE intention (they probably think it’d be taking a weapon away from her rather than it being much more complicated) but it adds an extra layer to things.

Steampunk Hayley Williams Becky was my favorite look of hers, so I’m all for this.

Becky tried to crush Bianca’s throat in a sneak attack. Then bragged about it. Then launched another sneak attack with a chair unprovoked, then tried to cut off Bianca’s hair when she was down.
Look I don’t think Becky should be a heel. But in the context of this story, she DEFINITELY is the heel. It’s just that she failed this time.
I hope WWE is not stupid enough to have her win at Mania.

She looks like Gigi Dolin's sister now. Also, what are they gonna do with Becky's leftover hair? This is obviously for a school project. I certainly don't want to make a wig out of it and wear it.
