6 Babyface Turns Before WWE SummerSlam 2026

WWE

There are several different characters on WWE television who have been undergoing some changes as of late.

A few heels on the WWE roster have been seeing the light and have teased properly embracing the positive reaction from fans.

From established heels to more recently turned acts who need course correcting, these babyface turns could make the road to SummerSlam 2026 a bumpy one.

Here are six potential babyface turns before WWE SummerSlam 2026.

6. Solo Sikoa

At WWE Clash In Italy 2026, Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

After this bout, Solo Sikoa showed up alongside The MFTs to watch the aftermath as Fatu left with Reigns and The Usos.

Since then, Fatu has sent a few messages from Reigns to Sikoa, asking his former enforcer to come home to the family in The Bloodline. However, Sikoa has remained steadfast in his refusal of Roman’s offer.

Solo finally relenting to join forces with The Bloodline again would be an easy way to make the former United States Champion a babyface for the first time during his time on the WWE main roster.

5. The Miz & Kit Wilson

Since his arrival in WWE back in February, Danhausen has been feuding with The Miz and Kit Wilson.

Whether it be inside the squared circle, or in his “office” Miz and Kit have felt the brunt of dealing with Danhausen.

This led to both Miz and Kit being electrocuted by Danhausen’s recent experiments backstage on Friday Night SmackDown. Now, both men are in a zombified state and helping Danhausen in matches.

Kit and Miz turning babyface could lead to a more permanent alliance with Danhausen that might benefit everyone involved.

4. Lash Legend

Since getting called up to the WWE main roster in November 2025, Lash Legend has aligned herself with Nia Jax in the women’s tag team scene.

This led to Lash and Nia coming together to form The Irresistible Forces and eventually win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

With her impressive size and charisma, Legend has felt like someone who has what it takes to become a world champion one day.

Lash turning babyface could set the stage for a showdown with her tag team partner Nia Jax in what would be a battle of the behemoths for the women’s scene.

3. Randy Orton

Ahead of WWE WrestleMania 42, Randy Orton turned heel and betrayed his friend Cody Rhodes on the road to their Undisputed WWE Championship bout.

Orton aligned himself with Pat McAfee and still struggled to get booed by the fans thanks to his legendary status.

“The Legend Killer” has been one of the biggest stars in all of WWE with a career spanning three decades now.

After everything he has accomplished and a lengthy hiatus following Mania, Orton could be ready to return as a babyface once more.

2. Roxanne Perez

In recent months, there has been some dissension between Roxanne Perez and Liv Morgan within The Judgment Day.

“The Prodigy” has displayed some doubts towards Morgan’s leadership in The Judgment Day after the group betrayed Finn Balor in March 2026.

Despite these questions running through her head, Perez has remained loyal to Morgan and The Judgment Day.

However, Roxanne Perez could be just waiting for the right time to strike and turn on Liv before becoming a major babyface for the WWE women’s division moving forward.

1. Drew McIntyre

Another WWE star who has been away from the company’s television in recent months is Drew McIntyre.

At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One, McIntyre lost to Jacob Fatu in an Unsanctioned Match.

After being away from WWE programming for the past few months, it might be time for McIntyre to return and play a significant role moving forward.

McIntyre returning as a babyface could open the door for some interesting matches against the likes of GUNTHER, The Vision and The Judgment Day in the near future.
