8 WWE Stars Who Need To Turn Heel

4. Kevin Owens 

If you’ve watched any of Owens’ NXT matches, you’ll understand why he’s on this list. On the black and gold brand, KO was a callous competitor who didn’t care about anybody who didn’t sign his cheques.

We got a glimpse of this version of Owens with his Raw debut, with a cold-blooded attack on John Cena. Over time, however, Kevin transitioned into one of WWE’s most popular faces. 

The former Universal Champion proved he still deserves a spotlight with his recent showing against The Fiend. A tenacious prize-fighter on SmackDown would be unstoppable and a rather interesting prospect.

3. Keith Lee

He was limitless on NXT and has the chance to be unlimited on Raw. Upon his arrival to the main roster, Keith Lee made a giant impact, besting Randy Orton in his pay-per-view debut. 

Keith hasn’t recently capitalised on his popularity, so it would make sense to convert the fans’ passionate cheers into boos.

For just over two months, Keith has been showing WWE audiences what he can do inside the ropes. Quickly turning such a fan-favorite heel would make Keith the talk of the wrestling world. 

If Lee was to turn, he would have plenty of potential opponents to beat down. Whether he battles Ricochet or Kofi Kingston, I’m sure any match-up would have us basking in his glory.

2. Bianca Belair 

The EST was a ruthless competitor in NXT, running through anyone in her way. While she’s continued her streak of dominance, Bianca hasn’t had a challenge since her time on the black and gold brand.

Bianca Belair is more than qualified for a title match. If she was to ambush Sasha Banks, nobody would be able to ignore one of the greatest athletes in WWE today. 

Bianca has the potential to become the face of WWE. If she was merciless enough to destroy the likes of The Boss, she could own the SmackDown women’s roster.

1. Big E 

As part of the WWE Draft last month, WWE split-up The New Day, sending Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to Raw. How fitting would it be for Big E to tear through the blue brand in retaliation? 

Kofi and Xavier always gave E direction, so it would make sense if the powerhouse felt lost without his friends. The former Intercontinental Champion taking his anger out on SmackDown’s roster could be the edge Big E needs.

E started his WWE career as a bad guy, neutralising Kane on the road to WrestleMania 29. If this side of the former New Day member was to resurface, Big E would become a true force to be reckoned with.
