The year 2024 has been a stellar one for WWE, with superstars excelling and raising the bar. As the dynamics of storytelling evolve, several wrestlers are poised to undergo significant character transformations, adding depth and excitement to their personas.
Turning Heel:
5. Randy Orton (SmackDown)
Randy Orton, a beloved figure since his return, harbors a darker side as the Legend Killer. With Cody Rhodes now on SmackDown, a storyline revisiting their past in the Legacy faction could position Orton as the blue brand’s main villain.
4. CM Punk:
CM Punk’s return energized WWE, but his potential as a heel is intriguing. His persona may not align with his current face status, and a heel turn could see him leading a new faction or even joining The Judgment Day.
1. LA Knight:
LA Knight’s rise has faced hurdles with the returns of Punk and Orton. A heel turn could rejuvenate his character, paving the way for compelling rivalries and a renewed push to the top.
Shifting to Face:
1. Rhea Ripley:
Despite her recent heel status, Rhea Ripley’s injury-induced hiatus could mark a transition back to being a face. Fans’ support might propel her to reclaim the Women’s World Championship.
2. Roman Reigns:
Following his WrestleMania defeat, Roman Reigns’ absence hints at a potential face turn. Clues on SmackDown suggest a future confrontation with The Bloodline, possibly led by The Rock.
WWE is primed for change, promising fresh narratives and compelling rivalries as these superstars redefine their roles in the ring.
