Legendary WWE Superstar to turn heel after 8 years on RAW by removing Rey Mysterio's mask? Potential shock explored

WWE RAW tonight is set to take place live from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This edition of the red brand will serve as the go-home episode for Crown Jewel 2024. One of the major matches announced for tonight's RAW is a World Tag Team Championship Number One Contenders Final match. Here, Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee will face off against The New Day and The War Raiders.

This match could potentially mark Xavier Woods’ first heel turn in over eight years, as he might remove Rey Mysterio’s mask during the tag team match. WWE has been teasing a more villainous side of Woods over the past few weeks, including several moments of tension with his partner Kofi Kingston. However, his complete heel turn has yet to happen.

Tonight’s RAW provides a big stage for this potential shocking twist. Woods might get frustrated with his ineptitude to pin the Master of the 619 and, in his frustration, could attempt to unmask the veteran.

It’s possible, though, that Kofi Kingston will intervene, which could lead to The War Raiders capitalizing and emerging victorious. After the match, Xavier might further attack his New Day partner, solidifying his heel turn.

The 38-year-old star has already had a legendary run as part of The New Day, which has become one of the greatest teams in WWE history. If Woods turns heel on tonight's RAW, this could kickstart a promising singles run for him in the company.

Xavier Woods could also join a big faction if he turns heel in tonight's RAW

If Xavier Woods turns heel in the manner described above, it could open the door for him to join The Judgment Day in the near future. This possibility arises due to the on-screen animosity Dominik Mysterio harbors toward his father.

If the multi-time tag team champion attempts to remove Rey Mysterio’s mask during the six-man tag team match, it might impress Dominik. This could lead him to extend an invitation to Woods to join the villainous faction on the red brand.

Xavier Woods would be a strong addition to The Judgment Day, especially given recent rumors that Carlito might soon be ousted from the faction. Woods could be positioned as a replacement for the star if that storyline unfolds.

Everything depends on how events play out on tonight’s episode of RAW, where The New Day will be engaged in a high-profile tag team match. Fans surely have eyes on Xavier Woods and his actions during this match.
