WWE is going through quite a few changes backstage as well as in the ring, and we expect them to keep improving their product in light of competition that they face from the likes of AEW.
The next big PPV in 2019 is Survivor Series before WWE builds up towards Royal Rumble in January next year. Between now and the end of the year, we could see quite a few character changes, as well as heel and face turns in WWE.
Let's take a look at 3 heel & 2 face turns that should happen in WWE in 2019:
#5 Braun Strowman - Heel
2019 did not turn out to be the year that Braun Strowman hoped he would have in WWE. The Monster Among Men was touted to win at least one big title this year, but all he has won so far is the RAW Tag Team titles with Seth Rollins.
Strowman will get a shot at Rollins' Universal title at Clash of Champions, and it will be interesting to see if WWE pulls a heel turn for Strowman, and elongates his feud with Rollins on WWE television.
The former Money in the Bank contract winner needs to win a singles title very soon to show that he could be one of the top men in WWE, and put to bed rumours that he is not a good worker and that he is not committed to the cause.
Strowman turning heel would be good for WWE as there are few heels over on the red brand, and not enough legitimate opponents for current Universal champion Seth Rollins.
The Monster Among Men last turned heel in 2018 when he sided with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, but that alliance was short-lived over on RAW.
#4 Alexa Bliss - Face
Alexa Bliss has garnered success in WWE's main roster by predominantly being a heel, but there have been signs over the last few weeks that she may be turning into a babyface.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated earlier this year, Bliss revealed that she loved playing the heel on WWE television. "I love portraying a bad guy. I can go the extra mile with all the creativity," said Bliss.
Bliss revealed why she loves being a heel: "I want to be booed and be hated. That dictates my style in the ring. If I were a good guy, I’d use a whole new arsenal of moves in the ring. The biggest thing for me is telling the story as a character, both in the ring and on the mic.”
Despite her love for being a heel on WWE, it seems that we could see babyface Bliss as she and Nikki Cross defend the Women's Tag Team titles and build the title up.
We could perhaps see Bliss feud with Sasha Banks in the future when she returns to singles action, with the two seemingly having a real-life rivalry away from the WWE ring.
#3 Finn Balor - Heel
Finn Balor is currently on a break from WWE after getting married, and he could be away for a while.
The former Intercontinental Champion's last match before his break was at SummerSlam when he faced off against "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, which he lost rather quickly.
When Balor does return, WWE should turn him heel, much like his persona back in NJPW, where he was the leader of the notorious Bullet Club faction. Balor has been a babyface throughout his main roster run and it's time to give his character some life by turning him heel.
Backstage at SummerSlam, he met up with his former Bullet Club friends, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, as well as former Bullet Club leader AJ Styles, who are now called The OC.
The OC invited Balor to join them which hinted at a possible heel turn for the former Intercontinental Champion. This would be a great move by WWE as there are no heel factions over on RAW, while turning Balor heel could possibly set up some fantastic matches with current Universal Champion Seth Rollins over on the red brand.
#2 Charlotte Flair - Face
Charlotte Flair has had an interesting year, mostly playing a part role in the Becky Lynch-Ronda Rousey feud, losing her SmackDown Women's title to Becky Lynch, and then winning it back at Money in the Bank, only to lose it moments later to Bayley, who cashed in her contract.
Following Bayley's heel turn, Bayley and Sasha Banks attacked Charlotte Flair, possibly indicating a feud between Bayley and Charlotte for the blue brand's women's title.
This is the perfect time to change Charlotte to a babyface and elongate the feud with Bayley, which could probably stretch till Survivor Series, while Banks and Becky Lynch feud for the red brand's women's title.

We could maybe even see Charlotte and Becky, who locked horns and had a personal feud earlier this year and last year, team up to take on the new heels - Sasha Banks and Bayley.
The last time that Charlotte was a babyface was during her feud with Becky Lynch last year, where she was booed despite being the face in the feud, following which she was turned heel.
#1 The Miz - Heel
The Miz will forever be recognised for his heel work in WWE and not so much for being a babyface, thanks to his way of getting under the skin of the WWE Universe.
He turned babyface earlier this year, but hasn't had too many feuds on WWE television, apart from one memorable one with Shane McMahon.
The Miz spoke about being a babyface earlier this year in an interview with Newsweek and revealed how it has to happen organically:
"You know, it's one of those things where I didn't want it to happen but it kinda just happened organically. And Maryse always tells me 'listen, when it happens organically you just let it go and do it. And if people are liking you so be it.' Now I have to get used to it and I'm not right now.
"Now that [the crowd] is doing it organically and they like me, it's amazing. The villain has become the good guy."
It's time to turn Miz heel again as he is probably one of the best heels in the business and WWE needs more heels now as there are too few on the main roster.
