However, as things passed by during the pandemic, she adapted to the gimmick, leading to a successful run as a villain and the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

When I became a bad guy, I felt like I lost a genuine connection with fans. It was like they don’t know how they feel about me or whether they still want to like me or what it was. It was a genuine disconnection.
