6 Wrestlers Who Could Turn Heel In 2019

#5 Asuka

Asuka received a huge push upon her arrival in NXT. She garnered huge reactions from the NXT crowd and was one of their top headliners. The former NXT Women’s Champion held an undefeated streak that spanned over 500 days.

Hence, when she was called up to the main roster, he was pushed immediately. She won the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match and went on to challenge Charlotte Flair for the Women’s title at WrestleMania 34. She lost the match to Charlotte thus ending her undefeated streak.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

After her first loss, she wasn’t used properly until recently when she came of nowhere to win the Smackdown Women’s Championship at TLC.

Now as champion, it could a perfect time for Asuka to turn heel before next year’s WrestleMania. She could potentially do a whole better as a heel and this could further enhance her career. Look at what turning heel did to Becky Lynch.

It catapulted her character to the next level and the same could happen with Asuka.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
