WrestleMania is on the horizon. The Raymond James Stadium will explode with two nights of thrilling, nail-biting action this coming weekend for the first WWE show packed with live fans in over a year!
To make sure that the show is worth the hype, WWE is certain to pack WrestleMania with a whole bunch of surprises. Among them will be heel and face turns to ensure that enough talking points are generated from this titanic event.
Here are 3 face turns and 2 heel turns that could happen during the course of the night. Be sure to let us know if we missed out on any possible face or heel turns at WrestleMania.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#1 Brock Lesnar arrives at WrestleMania turning face when he confronts Roman Reigns
We have seen many titanic battles between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in WWE, but this time could be different. With Roman Reigns playing the role of the top heel in the company, Brock Lesnar could show up and challenge him as a babyface.
Obviously, Brock Lesnar is not advertised to be at WrestleMania, but imagine the roar of the crowd if he shows up after Roman Reigns has won the main event. Just envision the shocked expression on Paul Heyman's face when he realizes that his former client is out for revenge against his brand new ally.
Once Roman Reigns has defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania (as he is likely to do), where does he go from there? The only way is onward and upward, and the only realistic challenger for him in such a scenario is Brock Lesnar.
Brock Lesnar doesn't need to show up for months after WrestleMania because a clash between Reigns and Lesnar could happen at some point down the road. Maybe at SummerSlam?
#1 Keith Lee returns at WrestleMania to turn heel and join The Hurt Business
For The Hurt Business to split up with WrestleMania approaching made no real sense at all. One has to believe that the only possible explanation then is that MVP is recruiting a brand new Hurt Business...a much stronger unit than the powerhouses he previously employed.
For Keith Lee to return in a major way at WrestleMania would make it a memorable moment for fans. And for him to cost Drew McIntyre the WWE Championship and ensure that Bobby Lashley keeps the title would be the icing on the cake.
Drew McIntyre's ascent to the WWE Championship could involve him having to take Keith Lee down first after WrestleMania. Both men are powerhouses who move with agility men of their size shouldn't ordinarily be capable of.
Keith Lee's dramatic speaking style did not always hit the mark and he does need someone like MVP to remind us that he's a tough, aggressive man, and not necessarily the goofball his promos portray him to be!
#2 Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax implode at WrestleMania with the Queen of Spades turning face
As we approach WrestleMania this year, just think back to just how far Shayna Baszler has fallen down the ranks. Not long ago, Baszler dominated everyone inside the Elimination Chamber, proving herself to be an unstoppable beast. And even though she holds the titles now, she doesn't seem to be nearly as dominant as before.
If Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler go lose the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 37, it may make sense for them to go their separate ways. Nia Jax can continue as a heel while Shayna Baszler has a run as a babyface. Baszler could be the next breakout star that the division needs, because of her unique submission-based offensive style, which makes her so very different.
Whatever happens, Shayna Baszler needs to step out of the comedy mid-card position after WrestleMania and not involve herself in skits with Reginald. She's currently miscast in the worst way possible and she definitely deserves much better!
#2 Damian Priest turns heel at WrestleMania assaulting Bad Bunny during his big debut match
Damian Priest is scheduled to make his WrestleMania debut alongside his good friend, rap musician Bad Bunny in a massive way. Of course, for him to win the big match would be a very big deal. But the alternative, where he goes heel and turns on such a mainstream star, would just take his career to the next level.
Everything about Damian Priest, from his look to his name (possibly a nod to Damien in the horror film, The Omen and Judas Priest) to his mannerisms, screams that he's a heel.
Drew McIntyre will also need a strong heel to work with after WrestleMania and Damian Priest can certainly play this role. But most importantly, attacking such a mainstream celebrity will garner many eyeballs in the press.
Another idea after WrestleMania could involve Damian Priest allying himself with The Miz and John Morrison as their muscle and bodyguard. Which of the heel roles listed above do you think is ideal for someone like Damian Priest?
#3 Omos breaks away from AJ Styles at WrestleMania and turns face in the process
As a special WrestleMania treat for all our readers, we had the amazing Dutch Mantell preview the two-night extravaganza with our very own Sid Pullar and special guest, Jeremy Lambert from Fightful. Please check it out once you're done reading this article and do let us know if you agree with them or not.
Omos and AJ Styles are clearly not on the same page. We've seen how The New Day decided to capitalize on this and cause dissension among the ranks. At WrestleMania, they may just decide to go their separate ways, with Omos turning face in the process.
There is nobody in the business that can sell as well as AJ Styles can and a feud after WrestleMania may be the best thing ever, for the big man. The New Day will get to retain the RAW Tag Team Championships to the delight of fans in attendance and everyone is happy. A babyface Omos could get over big time, especially with kids and younger fans.
