WWE SummerSlam 2020 is on the horizon and the company has to make sure that the event is a lot more than a mere display of good athleticism. There needs to be dramatic twists and turns through the course of WWE SummerSlam 2020 and the best way to achieve this objective is through heel and face turns.
So, which Superstars will see the error of their ways and turn to the light at WWE SummerSlam? Which of them will realize that the only road to the top is if they play dirty and bend the rules?
Here are 4 heel turns and 1 face turn that you may definitely not see coming, in keeping with the tagline of WWE SummerSlam 2020.
#1 Alexa Bliss costs Braun Strowman his Universal Championship at WWE SummerSlam 2020, stunningly aligns with Bray Wyatt as a heel
Nikki Cross mentioned on WWE SmackDown how Alexa Bliss has been changing and Bliss herself admitted, in the weeks leading up to WWE SummerSlam 2020, how she was like a moth drawn to the mystique of Bray Wyatt. Does this mean that we are going to see a heel turn from Little Miss Bliss and she becomes Sister Abigail at WWE SummerSlam 2020?
Anyone who comes in contact with The Fiend changes and this is a trend we saw with Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, and so many others. So, it makes complete sense that Alexa Bliss will go from the light into the darkness, quite literally, as she becomes Sister Abigail at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
Alexa Bliss has needed a change in character for quite some time now and if she does become Sister Abigail at WWE SummerSlam 2020, she will be able to unleash her acting chops upon the world.
#1 Ric Flair turns babyface when he returns to cost Randy Orton his match at WWE SummerSlam 2020
Ric Flair is known to be the dirtiest player in the game, and because he was in Randy Orton's corner during his most recent run, one has to assume that he was a heel until not long ago. But at WWE SummerSlam 2020, Flair could shock the world by showing up out of the blue to hit a low blow on Randy Orton and cost him an opportunity to win the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.
After everything that went down between Randy Orton and Ric Flair on RAW, Flair now has a chance to right every wrong and show up to cost Randy Orton his big Championship match.
It would be a logical conclusion to a fantastic story and a pretty amazing way to end the feud in the right manner at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
Ric Flair deserves a great moment under the spotlight and he could have it at WWE SummerSlam 2020, much to the delight of fans.
#2 Cedric Alexander turns heel out of the blue, helping MVP win the US title at WWE SummerSlam 2020
MVP has been very vocal in the past about recruiting Cedric Alexander into his stable and he has made more than one attempt to do so on WWE RAW. At WWE SummerSlam 2020, we could finally see Cedric Alexander align with The Hurt Business to take his career to the next level at last. And he could achieve this by helping MVP become the new United States Champion.
This is the only way to get the title around MVP's waist, who is absolutely on fire at the moment and also protect Apollo Crews in the process, considering that the man has a lot of momentum heading into his big match at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
And if you look at the tweet linked above, Cedric Alexander has hinted at a heel turn himself. Could we finally see him become a part of WWE's hottest faction at the moment- The Hurt Business at WWE SummerSlam 2020 this weekend?
#2 Tommaso Ciampa is revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION at WWE SummerSlam 2020, turning heel in the process
Obviously, RETRIBUTION is not scheduled to be on the WWE SummerSlam 2020 card at this point in time as they are not a part of the active roster, but the beautiful thing about the anonymous faction is that they show up when nobody expects them to. And yes, they could certainly show up at WWE SummerSlam 2020 where Ciampa could unmask and cost Randy Orton his match. And the seeds for a match between Randy Orton and Tommaso Ciampa may have been sown during an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling.
During an interview with Sportskeeda, Randy Orton had stated the following:
As I was saying earlier, whatever Vince gives me to do, whatever my job is, in that particular situation, I’m going to do it. And, if it’s working with Tommaso Ciampa, then I’d be all for it because I think he’s very talented. And I think that there’s a few things that I could help him with. Mainly to help him get a little more out of his career.
Could we see Ciampa turning heel, as the first member of RETRIBUTION to unmask? Also, will that make Randy Orton a babyface/tweener in the process?
#3 Samoa Joe turns heel at WWE SummerSlam 2020 after aligning with the Monday Night Messiah
Of course, Samoa Joe can choose to be a babyface when he returns to the ring after WWE SummerSlam 2020 and he's doing a pretty good job on RAW as well, as the insider with access to secret footage and whatnot. But the best way to bring him back into the fold may actually be to turn him heel at WWE SummerSlam 2020 because we all know that Samoa Joe does his best work as a bad guy.
So, when Dominik Mysterio is on the verge of mounting a comeback against Seth Rollins to pick up his first big win, Samoa Joe could leave the commentary desk and lock young Mysterio in his patented submission move, shocking the world at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, and Murphy could form the most formidable faction on WWE RAW. Austin Theory wouldn't even be missed.
