6 Heel Turns At WWE Royal Rumble 2026

With the WWE Royal Rumble 2026 fast approaching at the end of this month, there could be some big character shifts coming soon.

While there could be a number of interesting surprises at the event, it might be superstars changing from babyface to heel that will ultimately prove the most impactful on storylines moving forward into the Road to WrestleMania 42.

Here are six potential heel turns at WWE Royal Rumble 2026.

6. Alexa Bliss

It seems that all good things must come to an end despite how enjoyable the partnership between Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss has been.

Already lasting longer than originally intended, the partnership could end up coming to an violent conclusion through an unexpected betrayal at the Royal Rumble.

While fans may anticipate Charlotte Flair turning heel, she has done so much work to portray a more likeable version iteration of her character that it would be a waste to throw it away.

A more compelling creative choice would be to have Alexa Bliss turn on Charlotte Flair, citing their past conflict and Flair’s past untrustworthiness as a reason for the end in friendship and of course, a new feud.
