On Sunday, May 31, WWE will present a historic premium live event with Clash In Italy 2026.

This event will surely have plenty of noteworthy matches on that evening in Turin, Italy, but there could be some heel turns throughout the show as well.

There are several babyfaces who could turn to the dark side or turn their back on their allies in a significant way at this upcoming PLE.

Here are six potential heel turns at WWE Clash In Italy 2026.

6. Lyra Valkyria

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria’s tag team came off the back of them feuding over the Women’s Intercontinental Championship with Becky Lynch

Over the past year, Lyra Valkyria has formed a tag team with her former rival Bayley in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship picture.

The inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion has looked on the verge of winning tag gold alongside Bayley on several occasions.

However, Valkyria and Bayley have been unable to win the big one during their time together as a duo.

This could lead to Lyra turning on and betraying Bayley at the WWE Clash In Italy premium live event on May 31.

5. Montez Ford

On the April 20 WWE Raw after WrestleMania 42, the Street Profits made their return to the company and have stepped up as the top contenders for the World Tag Team Title.

While they have been a duo for the past decade, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have shown some signs of dissension over the past year.

As of late, Ford has displayed his displeasure with Dawkins in regards to aligning with Seth Rollins against The Vision.

Ford finally turning his back on Dawkins feels inevitable at this point and could finally come to fruition at WWE Clash In Italy 2026.

4. Alexa Bliss

Another prominent duo in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship scene has been Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.

While they have become best friends, it has always felt like Flair and Bliss were not supposed to be a long-lasting pairing.

Former five-time WWE Women’s World Champion Bliss has been the vocal leader who has kept herself and Flair on the same page.

After failing to win the Women’s Tag Team Title for a second time, Bliss could be the one to pull the trigger on betraying Flair at WWE Clash in Italy 2026 in a major way.

3. Royce Keys

Over the past few weeks, fans have seen Royce Keys become a more featured talent on Friday Night SmackDown.

On the May 15 episode of SmackDown, Keys came up just short against GUNTHER in a number one contenders match.

After losing the opportunity to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, Keys will be looking for revenge on Solo Sikoa and The MFTs, but he could also become a man who is hellbent on inserting himself back into the title picture.

Keys turning heel and interfering to cost Rhodes the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash In Italy 2026 would be an impactful way for this major shift in his character.

2. Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu will face Roman Reigns at WWE Clash In Paris with the title of Tribal Chief on the line

On the April 20 WWE Raw after WrestleMania 42, Jacob Fatu stepped up to challenge his cousin Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Then at the WWE Backlash 2026 premium live event, Fatu came up short in his bid for the gold against Reigns.

Since then, a more unhinged Fatu could emerge heading into a Tribal Combat showdown at WWE Clash In Italy 2026.

‘The Samoan Werewolf’ turning heel would be the logical next step for Fatu’s character when things come to a head in Tribal Combat on May 31.

1. LA Knight

Following the aftermath of WWE WrestleMania 42, LA Knight has found himself with no concrete direction moving forward.

Over the past few weeks, Knight has been confronting The Usos about their Bloodline reunion with Roman Reigns.

This seems to be teasing a potential rivalry between Reigns and Knight that could come to the forefront as soon as WWE Clash In Italy 2026.

Knight finally turning on Jimmy and Jey Uso as well as taking aim at Reigns would be the best way to have ‘The Megastar’ draw some heat as a new top heel in WWE come Turin, Italy.
