A move to r=Raw could mean a face turn for Bryan

Although The Planet's champion gimmick is turning out to be one of the best characters in recent memory, Bryan might need to turn babyface again in case he is drafted to Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania. The red brand is already chalk filled with dastardly heels like McIntyre, Corbin and Lashley. A small sized wrestler acting like a heel on Raw would probably won't work.

Instead, Bryan can have fresh underdog storylines against the likes of McIntyre and Lashley. He is one of those rare Superstars who is capable of having a good match, no matter how bad is the opponent. Bryan would work much better as a babyface on the Raw roster, as there's no dearth of opponents for him up there.

If he doesn't get drafted to Raw during the Superstar Shakeup, he could continue being a heel and preach the message of saving the planet to the babyfaces on the blue brand.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
