Top WWE Star Addresses Rumored Heel Turn

WWE

WWE star Bianca Belair has addressed heel turn rumors, explaining her mindset surrounding a potential heel run on the main roster.

Rumors emerged in early 2023 on Belair potentially turning heel and aligning herself with the Street Profits.

While Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins formed an initially-heel group with Bobby Lashley on SmackDown, Belair has yet to officially align herself with her husband’s faction.

This hasn’t stopped speculation about Belair turning heel, with many believing that Belair could soon have a character change.

Speaking with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Belair noted that she enjoyed her heel run in NXT.

Explaining why a main roster heel Belair would be different from NXT heel Belair, she explained:

“At NXT, I was a heel, but if I ever turned heel now, I want to be the right type of heel. I was the cool heel in NXT, which I don’t feel like benefitted anyone but myself. I got myself over.

“If I’m in there with a babyface that’s not as established, it’s very hard for them. I learned when I got to the main roster how great it is to work with an amazing heel like Bayley when I first came in.

“The reason why I think I hit the ground running, as a good guy, was I had this amazing heel who was established and over. She helped introduce me to the audience and helped people get to know me and care about me.

“That’s what I want to do if I ever turn heel, so I won’t be the heel you like and cheer for.”

Belair is set to compete in Saturday’s Royal Rumble match.

The winner of the men’s and women’s Rumble bouts will earn championship matches at the April 6-7 WrestleMania 40 event.
