The belief is that Becky’s face turn was not in the plans before the retirement of Vince McMahon. Wade Keller of PWTorch said the following during his audio show…

“I can now confirm Becky was not gonna turn if Vince McMahon was still in control. That was a Paul Levesque [Triple H] call. I just got confirmation on that. She would have been a heel as we’re talking right now if McMahon was still running things. So, one big change early on there.”
