WWE Crown Jewel - 3 Heel turns & 2 face turns that could change the course for the company

WWE Crown Jewel is scheduled to happen this Thursday and features a truly stacked lineup. Do remember that the rosters are set in stone after the upcoming pay-per-view. Meaning that RAW Superstars will stay on the Red brand and SmackDown Superstars on the Blue brand. It is the end of an era in a sense.

And what better way to usher in a new era than with a few face and heel turns? Do keep in mind that this article is being written before RAW airs, so things could change by the time the go-home episode of WWE Crown Jewel happens. But then speculation is always fun, so let us dive straight in.

As always, you are welcome to share any of your thoughts about WWE Crown Jewel in the comments. How excited are you for the event on a scale of 1-10?

#3 WWE Crown Jewel - Sonya Deville turns heel and helps Shayna Baszler defeat Zelina Vega

Let's consider the facts for a moment. On Supersized SmackDown, the alliance of Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler steamrolled through Naomi, and one has to believe that it will continue. It is certainly a major step up from what Baszler was doing with Nia Jax and Reginald once upon a time.

Also, especially with Deville by her side, there's little to no chance that she's not going all the way to Saudi Arabia. Now Sonya Deville has not been portrayed as a complete heel yet. She's just got a problem with Naomi and very difficult to figure out why.

Could WWE Crown Jewel be the site for her to completely turn heel and stand tall with Shayna Baszler by her side? The duality between a babyface male authority figure and a female heel could be very interesting!

#2 WWE Crown Jewel - Zelina Vega becomes the ultimate babyface as a result

Let's assume that the WWE Crown Jewel scenario we've outlined on the previous page does play out. If so, then it makes Zelina Vega a babyface.

In fact, this could be the reason why she was booked in a heel vs. heel match against Carmella on SmackDown. Vega is a great talker and she could, in time, grow into quite the singles star as a babyface.

#2 WWE Crown Jewel - Kofi Kingston turns heel and costs Xavier Woods his dream opportunity

Everyone's rooting for Xavier Woods to win the crown, cape, and scepter at the event in Saudi Arabia. How could you know if you consider that he's been very vocal about this being his dream, the one thing he wishes to achieve? How crazy would it be if Kofi Kingston was the person to deny him his destiny?

Kingston vs. Woods is a feud that could carry on from WWE Crown Jewel all the way into 2022 and beyond!

#1 WWE Crown Jewel - Paul Heyman has enough of Roman Reigns and goes back to Brock Lesnar again

Could Paul Heyman turn face at WWE Crown Jewel and align himself with Brock Lesnar as was teased at the end of Supersized SmackDown this week? There's only so much bullying that a living legend can take.

If you want to pull back the curtain a bit, this face turn can serve two major purposes. It keeps the feud going with a fresh coat of paint and gives Lesnar a mouthpiece, something he needs way more than The Tribal Chief.

#1 WWE Crown Jewel - Keith 'Bearcat' Lee turns heel and joins The Hurt Business helping Lashley defeat Goldberg

Goldberg may be evenly matched against Bobby Lashley. Heck, he may even have enough firepower to steamroll through his lackeys in The Hurt Business.

But if Keith 'Bearcat' Lee joins the faction at WWE Crown Jewel to help Lashley defeat Goldberg, it would be the ultimate twist. It would be a major step up for the talented star!
