With 2024 coming to an end, many WWE fans are starting to look ahead to the new year, with endless possibilities both in and out of the squared circle. This year, fans have seen superstars such as Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest make the seamless switch from villainous heels into fan-favorite babyfaces.

With each of those three stars now beloved by the fans, we are going to take a look at three WWE Superstars who could follow in their footsteps and turn face in 2025.


#3 - Chelsea and the fans reach an agreement

One of the biggest storylines currently ongoing in WWE is the tournament to crown the inaugural Women's United States Champion.

A performer that many fans are hoping to see win the title is Chelsea Green. Despite returning to the company at the 2023 Royal Rumble and getting eliminated quickly, the Canadian has gone on to become one of the most entertaining and key performers on the roster. Her backstage interactions with RAW and SmackDown's authority figures are one of the major highlights of her current run.

With a chance at championship gold potentially in her grasp, fans are starting to will her towards the belt, with many feeling that her winning this title would be the recognition she deserves for all the good work she has done in the lower to mid-card over the past year and a half.

One person who is a big fan of Chelsea Green is the SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, who recently praised her during an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

"For her, there was this thing of, ‘Will I ever get the shot on the main show?’ Then it comes and I’m sure this probably isn’t what she first had in mind. I don’t want to speak for her, but I would venture to say that what she’s doing probably isn’t what she envisioned a long time ago, but man, has she taken this and run with it. She’s one of the producer's favorite talents to work with, I’ll say that. She’s business. She is business."

Now that she is gaining a significant amount of momentum, a face turn for Green in 2025 would certainly be a welcoming and hard-earned one.


#2 - The Samoan Werewolf embraces the WWE fans' reactions

Like Green, another performer whose talent is hard to deny is that of Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf has been the standout performer in the new Bloodline this year, with him even outshining the group's leader, Solo Sikoa.

Sikoa could become increasingly agitated towards Jacob as the weeks go on after the fans continue to applaud his efforts in the ring, setting up the face turn. This could lead to Sikoa kicking Fatu out of the faction, starting a feud between the two of them.

Ironically, one person who is a big fan of Jacob Fatu is Solo Sikoa's Hall of Famer father, Rikishi, who stated on an episode of the Off the Top podcast that Fatu still has a lot to show the fans in the ring.

"Until I see Jacob have a full one-on-one match and the world sees him have a full one-on-one match without outside interference, I think the world will understand what I’ve been talking about for the longest [time]. But Jacob has yet to reach his star status as far as being a main event player."

At just 32 years of age and having been on WWE's main roster for just over six months, Jacob Fatu certainly has time on his side. With the fans continuing to be captivated by his performances in the ring, do not be surprised to see him leave the Bloodline next year, becoming a babyface in the process.


#1 - It's Tiffy's time as a WWE fan favorite

One of the most intriguing angles in WWE right now is the on-screen pairing of the WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax and Miss Money In The Bank, Tiffany Stratton.

The pair have seemingly been a united front in recent months but with Stratton holding the case which she could cash in on Jax to become champion, the friction between the pair is clear to see.

With Jax determined to stay on top as champ, her paranoia may soon reach a boiling point as she might attack Stratton in the coming weeks in the hopes that Stratton dismisses the idea of cashing in on her.

This assault could then lead to a triumphant return from Tiffany later down the line with her then cashing in on her old friend, in a move that would certainly position her as one of WWE's most popular stars in 2025.
