As indicated prior, our PvE realms will soon have Crossfaction Battlegrounds enabled.
This means that players, depending on team imbalance in a given Battleground, may end up fighting for the opposite faction for that game to increase fairness and reduce queue times.

That's all it ever was, a pretense of service. Blue or red, they're just looting and using you for the oligarchs.
