WWE SummerSlam 2019: 5 babyfaces who could get booed in Toronto

#3 Natalya or Becky Lynch

This is an incredibly tough one!

Becky Lynch gets genuine cheers whenever she ascends down the ramp. "The Man" is as close to an anti-hero as you can get. Lynch's mannerisms are something the Toronto crowd would cheer for without an ounce of hesitation.

On the other hand, there's Natalya, Canada's pride. Now she could have been booed simply for being a babyface, similar to how Edge was booed back at SummerSlam 2004. But Natalya wasn't exactly a babyface on this week's Raw. She kept the Sharpshooter locked on Lynch, after being disqualified for not letting go of Lynch despite "The Man" holding on to the ropes.

It would be very interesting to see which way the crowd goes this Sunday at SummerSlam. Will they boo the cool anti-hero in Becky Lynch, or will they boo their own Natalya? It's still not clear whether Natalya is now a full-fledged heel. If she comes out at SummerSlam, all smiling and shaking kids' hands, prepare to see the crowd turn on her in quick succession.

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.
