3 predictions for interesting heel/face turns that could happen in the near future after WWE Superstar Shake-up
The Superstar Shake-up had arrived with many possibilities, and it has left us with many more. WWE may have not done anything overly shocking, with top superstars such as Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar on a hiatus. We couldn't also have any updates on stars such as Bray Wyatt or Dolph Ziggler. Many stars also were absent with injuries.
However, WWE did try to shake things up. Most notably, the man who had built 'his house' - SmackDown Live, AJ Styles, has moved to RAW. On the other hand, the Big Dog has left the red brand to make SmackDown his new yard. The Usos, Finn Balor, Rey Mysterio, Bayley, and many other stars have switched brands. The entire dynamic has changed.
Change is the only constant, and these changes have also left an opportunity for character changes. There is scope for plenty of characters to look deep inside, and bring out a different shade.
In this article, we predict 3 blockbuster heel/face turns that could happen in the near future after the Superstar Shake-up.
#3 Heel turn: Kevin Owens
In the best Paul Heyman voice, we need to tell you that Kevin Owens turning heel isn't a prediction - it is a spoiler.
Yes, Kevin Owens has the potential to be a great face or an anti-hero. We understand that we might have waited for this babyface run from KO, a run that hasn't lasted long yet. Still, Kevin Owens will turn heel.
Owens' involvement with New Day as "Big O" has no other conclusion. It might be disappointing for everyone who has enjoyed Owens' presence in the new "New Day", but such stories have only one inevitable conclusion, a heel turn.
It'd give Kofi Kingston his first challenger for the WWE Championship, and the turn would give SmackDown their top villain until the Planet's Savior, Daniel Bryan returns.
Meanwhile, Big E has let his displeasure known about the New Day replacing him. He tweeted:
The world's selfish, isn't it? Perhaps Big E will turn heel upon his return as well.
