Could Corbin become the biggest babyface in all of wrestling?
Could Corbin become the biggest babyface in all of wrestling?

WWE SummerSlam 2021 is on the horizon, and all everyone's talking about is CM Punk. There's a big chance that CM Punk chants will ring out through SummerSlam if the show is sub-par, which would be absolutely disastrous.

Heel and face turns are a surefire way of ensuring that the audience that's paid their hard-earned money to watch the product returns home believing they're satisfied. Sportskeeda had a chance to catch up with Big E recently (wait for the interview to drop soon), who did promise some SummerSlam surprises. Could there be some heel and face turns?

With that in mind, we welcome you to chime in and share your thoughts on these possible SummerSlam 2021 twists. Please note that we have no way of confirming that these surprises will happen, but it's likely they we could see a few of them come to fruition!


#3 Could Finn Balor turn heel at SummerSlam and destroy John Cena?

So Finn Balor clearly has a bone to pick with Roman Reigns but also with John Cena. After all, Cena ensured that 'The Prince' did not go to SummerSlam and compete in the Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns.

This is the perfect opportunity for Finn Balor to go heel and embark on a feud with John Cena going forward. He could mix it up with babyfaces on the roster like Shinsuke Nakamura and elevate the Intercontinental Championship in the process of doing so. Finn Balor is the future of the wrestling business.

Ultimately, through this move, he will get the John Cena rub at some point after SummerSlam 2021. But it would also become a major SummerSlam 2021 talking point and could dilute some of the excitement that CM Punk has generated among wrestling fans.

#2 Could Baron Corbin turn face after pinning Goldberg for the WWE Championship?

At SummerSlam we could see Goldberg defeat Bobby Lashley in no time at all, celebrating in the middle of the ring. As legendary as the man is, we know that the modern audience does not necessarily connect with him. Could Baron Corbin blindside him and become the WWE Champion?

In a matter of moments, Baron Corbin would become the biggest babyface in the company.

And if the decision is overturned at SummerSlam by WWE official Adam Pearce (Corbin never really won the contract fair and square), he would be heavily booed!


#2 Dominik is likely to turn heel at SummerSlam 2021

Leading up to SummerSlam this weekend, we've seen all the signs.

Dominik and Rey Mysterio are clearly not on the same page right now, and the former, in fact, has been proving time and again that his ego is getting the best of him.

After SummerSlam, could we see a father vs. son feud over the possession of the mask Rey Mysterio so proudly wears?

#1 Could John Morrison turn face at SummerSlam and destroy The Miz?

At SummerSlam this weekend, the cracks we've seen developing between The Miz and Morrison could result in them going their separate ways. Neither man is on the card at this point.

That said, The Miz, who was embarrassed by Damian Priest on RAW, is likely to want his revenge against the No. 1 contender for the WWE United States Championship.

And Logan Paul's return on the RAW after SummerSlam could just take this feud to a whole new dimension!


#1 Could Keith Lee turn heel and join The Hurt Business?

Right before SummerSlam, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley caught up with Sportskeeda Wrestling and spoke about the genius of his manager and friend, MVP.

MVP's been making the big moves! So how does he ensure that Bobby Lashley retains the WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2021?

Well, a new version of The Hurt Business could be formed, this time with Keith Lee as a part of the pack!

A heel Keith Lee could change the WWE landscape!
