Roman Reigns' return to set up a dramatic surprise for old rivals? - 3 WWE Superstars who can turn heel after SummerSlam 2024
WWE delivered an action-packed show at SummerSlam and an equally promising episode of RAW earlier this week. All eyes are now on SmackDown, which is expected to see the aftermath from the recently concluded Premium Live Event unfold while also setting up new feuds for Bash in Berlin.
Amidst the changing dynamics on RAW and SmackDown after SummerSlam, we may see top names involved in massive plot twists. Here, we look at three WWE Superstars who may turn heel soon. So, without further ado, let's begin.
#1. Kevin Owens betrays Cody Rhodes on WWE SmackDown
Kevin Owens has played an important ally for Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes in their battle against The Bloodline. However, Roman Reigns' return at SummerSlam may keep the heel faction occupied in a Civil War. This would leave the American Nightmare open to a new challenger on SmackDown, which could see him soon get betrayed by his friend, Kevin Owens.
KO has been a top babyface for a long time and has spent most of that time fighting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. A potential heel turn for Owens would allow him to take a much-needed break from The Bloodline and enter the title picture. It would also set up an exciting title feud for Cody Rhodes, who may see his championship reign lose the spotlight when Roman Reigns reclaims his position as the Head of the Table.
#2. Bianca Belair turns on Jade Cargill
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill have been working together as a tag team since the latter made her debut on WWE SmackDown. They even held the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, which they lost at Clash at the Castle. Belair and Cragill have tried to regain their titles but to no avail.
Like Kevin Owens, Bianca Belair has been a top babyface for a long time. Triple H could pull off a shocking betrayal on the blue brand by having Belair turn heel and betray Cargill. The EST of WWE could use a new on-screen persona, and she could set up an intense feud with Cargill that could benefit both superstars.
#3. The Miz returns to singles actions on WWE RAW
The Miz reunited with R-Truth, and they won the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania. Fans enjoyed The Awesome Truth's huge title win and subsequent run, but we may now be nearing a potential split. They locked horns with A-Town Down Under on RAW after SummerSlam, where they suffered defeat.
The final moments of the match saw Truth accidentally knock The Miz off the ring apron, following which he was pinned by Theory. This incident could lead to a massive heel turn, which would see The Miz betray R-Truth and return to singles action following a brief feud with his tag team partner.
