5 WWE Superstars who should turn heel in 2019

Modified Mar 14, 2019 09:00 GMT

#3 Asuka

Over the course of her entire tenure in NXT and WWE, Asuka has never been a full-blown heel. She was white-hot during her undefeated streak, until Charlotte defeated her at WrestleMania 34. Asuka went on to become an afterthought and lost to the likes of Mandy Rose and Carmella in the coming months.

It would be interesting to see how a heel Asuka character plays out on the main roster. Asuka is perhaps the most badass woman on the roster next to Ronda Rousey and has endured the worst of beatings in Japan, before she signed with WWE.

A heel Asuka would immediately become one of the most dangerous women on the entire roster, having no remorse for the safety of her fellow women wrestlers. This could be turned into a huge rivalry with Becky Lynch, who would become a serious threat to Asuka after defeating Rousey at WrestleMania 35.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

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.
