WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020: 5 heel and face turns that could happen
NXT TakeOver: WarGames will take place this weekend. The event is a popular one on the NXT calendar, and it often has many shocking moments. Last year's show was impressive for several reasons. An unexpected heel turn from Dakota Kai remains one of the event's most surprising developments. Despite Kai's betrayal, Team Ripley still defeated Team Baszler in a match that stole the show.
In 2019, fans also saw Team Ciampa take on The Undisputed Era. Former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens appeared as the mystery member of the babyface team. (The group also included Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic, and Tommaso Ciampa.) With Owens' help, Team Ciampa walked away victorious in a thrilling match.
2019's NXT TakeOver: WarGames gave fans some jaw-dropping moments, like Kai's stunning heel turn. There could be a similar a heel or face turn this weekend. A significant alignment change could help NXT enter 2021 on a compelling note. Here's a look at some stars who could switch sides on Sunday.
#5 Raquel Gonzalez could betray Team Candice at NXT TakeOver: WarGames
