This past Monday on RAW, WWE fans saw a significant shift in storylines as Chad Gable and Liv Morgan turned heel, attacking Sami Zayn and Rhea Ripley. Heel turns often breathe new life into wrestlers, as seen with Drew McIntyre’s recent success as a heel.
Considering the developments on RAW, let’s explore five WWE stars who could benefit from a heel turn.
#3 – Gargano and Ciampa: Time to Shake Things Up
Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, formerly known as DIY, have struggled to connect with fans as faces on RAW. Despite their success in NXT, they may need a heel turn to revitalize their characters and performances.
Gargano acknowledged the necessity of his heel turn for character development, stating, “There were only so many times you can see a white meat Johnny Gargano go out there and overcome the odds.”
Their upcoming match against R Truth and The Miz for the World Tag Team Championships could be the perfect opportunity for a turn.
#2 – Alexa Bliss: The Queen of Manipulation
Alexa Bliss, a former RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion, has thrived as a heel throughout her career. After a hiatus, fans eagerly await her return. Given her penchant for stirring controversy, her comeback could involve an immediate heel turn, targeting a fan-favorite superstar.
Bliss finds joy in playing the villain, relishing the freedom to explore different personas. As she explained, “It’s so much more fun getting people not to like you.”
#1 – The Creed Brothers: Ready for Change
The Creed Brothers, Brutus and Julius, have yet to make a significant impact since joining the main roster. Training with Chad Gable hints at a potential alliance and heel turn. Their amateur wrestling background aligns with Gable’s style, making them a natural fit for a shift in persona.
Julius Creed’s cryptic tweet after RAW suggests a possible alignment with Gable, sparking speculation among fans.
