5 heel and face turns that will happen in WWE in 2020

2020 is set to be an exciting year for WWE, with the promotion spicing things up in the ring and outside of it, thanks to the competition posed to it. The year could see quite a few interesting storylines, and could make a few new megastars with the addition of NXT to main roster PPVs.

WWE often uses face and heel turns to surprise and shock fans, giving the character a new lease of life on WWE television. Fans could be in store for some surprising changes in 2020 which could give life to new feuds.

Let's take a look at 5 heel and face turns that will happen in WWE in 2020:

---

#5 Alexa Bliss - Heel

Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss, a five-time women's champion, had a quiet 2019 as a singles star as the likes of Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Bayley dominated the women's division. Bliss, who had been a constant fixture in the women's title scene over the last few years, didn't have a great 2019.

Injuries and the rise of other Superstars sidelined her from the main event scene. But she did lay her hands on gold when she won the Women's Tag Team titles with Nikki Cross. Cross and Bliss formed an unlikely partnership and they held the tag team belts once.

Bliss also turned babyface in 2019, something that we hadn't seen on the main roster since she was brought to it in 2016. She has been good as a babyface but it's quite clear that she's at her best as a heel on WWE television, and it's probably not going to take long before she becomes a heel once again.

She could very well turn on her tag team partner Nikki Cross which could aid her in her heel turn, and maybe return to being a singles Superstar.

#4 AJ Styles - Face

The OC led by AJ Styles

AJ Styles recently signed a new contract with WWE, which is going to be his last one as an in-ring performer. Styles, who turns 43 next year, probably has a few more years remaining to showcase his top-notch in-ring skills before walking off into the sunset.

The former WWE Champion is currently the leader of The OC, the faction consisting of Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. The heel faction have been prominently involved on RAW over the last few months, especially since Paul Heyman became Executive Director of the red brand.

The OC are a heel faction on WWE television, but I have a feeling that the trio could become babyfaces in 2020, especially if WWE want to add Styles back into the WWE Championship picture.

We could very well see Styles feud with Lesnar for the WWE Championship in 2020, perhaps his last shot at a top title in the promotion, or even with Seth Rollins, who is a babyface and has lackeys of his own - AOP.

#3 The Miz - Heel

The Miz and Daniel Bryan

The Miz, like AJ Styles, could be in his last few years as an in-ring performer in WWE. Miz, who has been involved in a feud with Daniel Bryan and The Fiend, is being portrayed as a babyface, but it's not long before he returns to being a heel, which is what he's best at doing.

The Miz has displayed some heelish tendencies lately in his feud with Bryan, but that could also be because the two have history. It's quite clear that The Miz works best as a heel, especially when he's giving the freedom to talk on the mic.

We still haven't seen the Daniel Bryan vs The Miz match at WrestleMania, which could very well be what WWE has planned for both Superstars for this year's showcase.

Their feud with The Fiend is the perfect way to set up a match at WrestleMania 36, and this could happen when The Miz turns heel and Bryan turns babyface fully.

#2 Bayley - Face

Bayley

Bayley had quite a 2019 - from becoming the first Women's Tag Team champion with Sasha Banks, to winning the SmackDown Women's title once again, and then turning heel, for the very first time.

The current SmackDown Women's Champion has been very good as a heel, which is surprising considering what a brilliant babyface she was.

But, we could very well see her turn babyface once again to set up yet another dream match that fans have been clamouring for years. Bayley could turn face to feud with her best friend Sasha Banks, with the two possibly facing off at WrestleMania 36 later this year.

That would be one hell of a match considering the great matches that they put on in NXT. A feud between the two would be riveting to watch, while the match itself would tick all the boxes. WWE should pull the trigger on this one and make it happen in 2020!

#1 Kevin Owens - Heel

Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe teamed up together recently on RAW in their feud with AOP and Seth Rollins. Owens and Joe have been two of the most popular Superstars on the red brand, despite being heels for the majority of their spell on the main roster.

Owens and Joe both turned babyface recently, which is surprising considering they are phenomenal as heels, be it in the ring or with the mic in their hands.

It's quite certain that this team will not last long and we could see them turn on each other to set up a feud between the two. While Joe hasn't worked much as a babyface, Owens has, which could prompt WWE to turn The Prizefighter heel once again.

It will be interesting to see how Joe fares as a babyface and we could very well see Joe and Owens face off at a big PPV, perhaps even WrestleMania 36.
