Yes, heel vs. heel contests do happen in WWE these days.
We saw The Miz take on AJ Styles on Smackdown. We saw Braun Strowman face Kevin Owens too. Chris Jericho vs. Samoa Joe for Fastlane makes sense! Neither Raw Superstar is on the Fastlane card at present. Moreover, Joe, coming in with momentum, will want to capitalise on this by challenging for the US Championship. It makes sense.

Why should heels get along anyway? They’re both trying to be the top Superstars in their respective brands right now. In fact, with Y2J getting a babyface reaction from the crowd every week, this may be the ideal program to turn him. In any case, this will be a high-profile contest.
