Before WWE Payback aired live, a source stated that Braun Strowman could turn babyface during the Triple Threat No Holds Barred Main Event.

As per various ways WWE could have booked the Payback main event, Alexa Bliss was considered a notable factor heading into the pay-per-view. Bliss and Strowman have an intriguing history with each other.

WWE showcased them as friends in a light-hearted way during the Mixed Match Challenge period. But since Braun Strowman turned heel after the Wyatt Swamp Fight, The Monster Among Men became emotionally detached from her to a point where he attempted a dangerous move on Bliss to lure The Fiend out.

Now Alexa Bliss herself is transitioning into a new character, and given the current state of SmackDown, it is very unlikely that three of the biggest stars in WWE (Reigns, Strowman, Wyatt) will manage to co-exist as heels on the same brand.

Roman Reigns has been established as a legitimate heel, so a babyface turn for him seems unlikely. Although Strowman just turned heel, using Alexa Bliss as a plot device may help to establish a face turn for the Monster Among Men.
