#2 Turn Jordan heel
Trending
This one almost feels inevitable. Kurt Angle mentioned in his documentary that when he first came to WWE, he figured his “American hero” gimmick would make him a natural babyface. But Vince McMahon said the opposite, that Angle should be a heel and come across as being above the fans, that he’s better than them.
Jordan, conveniently, fits the exact same mould. Not only is he a chiselled athlete who could say he’s better than the fans based on that alone, but now he has the bloodline. One of the most heelish parts of Charlotte’s character was the fact that she called herself “genetically superior” because of her dad Ric Flair. Jordan can say the same kinds of things.
He can be above the fans who are just ordinary people, while Jordan was born into a wrestling family and destined for greatness. That will get him over much more easily than just being a generic babyface who’s good (er, decent) at wrestling.
Jordan should come out to the ring and verbally destroy his former partner Chad Gable. He could take the Big Cass route and say Gable was holding him back. Then he should emphasise that he’s guaranteed to be successful and that he doesn’t need the fans. It just makes sense given the fact that he’s now Angle’s son.
