After longtime babyface star Natalya turned heel on WWE Raw, there could be other known stars looking for a refresh as well.
From veterans potentially looking to reclaim respect to changes that might prove to be supernatural in origin — there could be some intriguing new storylines coming soon in WWE.
Here’s six more WWE stars that could be turning heel in the near future.
6. Randy Orton
The upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event is set to host a major four-way match to determine who will take on Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble 2026.
However, the field has an interesting mix of stars with Damian Priest, Trick Williams, Sami Zayn and Randy Orton — perhaps a change is coming.
If Orton were to cost Zayn the win or even do something quite dastardly to end up taking the victory for himself, there could be a fascinating showdown ahead between McIntyre and Orton at Royal Rumble 2026.
In what could end up becoming a WrestleMania 42 feud between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, the possibility is very exciting.
