5 WWE Superstars who desperately need a heel turn

#3 Aleister Black

Aleister Black deserves to be a part of better feuds

Before I present my argument, let me say that Aleister Black has one of the best gimmicks in WWE today. From his in-ring prowess to his mic-skills, everything about him makes him a whole performer. But the problem arises with his booking on RAW. Someone as talented as Black deserves to be a part of much more engaging storylines.

Even after being involved in a handful of good feuds, Black is already considered as one of the top guys of the Red brand. But he is rarely seen in memorable storylines which might hurt his credibility in the long run.

If the creatives don’t have anything in store for Black, they should turn him heel and explore opportunities with that angle.

As a heel, Black will have a chance to go up against the likes of Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre. Even if he is far from winning the Championship, he must be pushed into the title picture because he can make a brilliant heel. His gimmick is compelling and can be used to narrate more intense storylines.

WWE can also have him turn heel and work alongside AJ Styles, now that the ‘Phenomenal One’ is all by himself after Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were released last week. Both Styles and Black possess phenomenal in-ring ability to this prospect is particularly mouthwatering.

It will be extremely helpful for Black and will make for a good storyline when he eventually turns on Styles.
