We're only hours away from the first pay-per-view since SummerSlam. Hell in a Cell will be an intense show, with a card featuring superstars from both brands. Despite the fact that there aren't as many matches as SummerSlam, the pay-per-view promises to be a gripping one. With NFL season underway, WWE may want to carry off a heel turn or two so that the excitement carries over to Monday Night.
In this article, I shall look at 5 heel turns that could take place during the show. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my speculation here. Let's have some fun before the pay-per-view hits our screens.
After all, who doesn't like a surprise or two? Any heel turn can potentially turn a brand or storyline around on its head.
Without any further prologue, here is my list of contenders...
#5 Charlotte Flair
We all saw Becky Lynch go heel at SummerSlam this year. Even though WWE tried their best to make the crowd turn on Lynch, the audience showed their affection for the Irish Lass Kicker by yelling 'Becky' at the top of their lungs, serenading her with praise. This could leave WWE with only one possible alternative. They may want Charlotte Flair to turn.
Even if Becky Lynch does become the SmackDown Women's Champion at Hell in a Cell, it wouldn't necessarily be her crowning moment as she is a heel. If a double turn were to take place, it would make the storyline more organic. After all, the crowd is rooting for Becky Lynch, the underdog, to become the champion.
To be fair to the women, they are talented enough to actually pull off a double turn. And a double turn may actually serve them better in the long run.
#4 Rusev
WWE is definitely trying to tell some kind of long term story with Rusev and Aiden English. Remember how Aiden English inadvertently cost both Rusev and Lana their matches? This week, he took the fall so that Rusev Day could pick up the win. I have a feeling he could be responsible in yet another mix up at Hell in a Cell.
And this could potentially lead to Rusev turning on Aiden English in a fit of rage. This could motivate him to become the Bulgarian Brute once again, with Lana by his side. Maybe Rusev could commence on yet another reign of destruction like he did during his early run.
As for Aiden English, I do not know how he will fare as a babyface, without Rusev by his side, honestly. Well, he is almost guaranteed to get a program with Rusev if this turn happens. Beyond that, I have no clue.
#3 Aiden English
It's difficult to say whether Aiden English is a heel or babyface, at this point. Whatever the case may be, the crowd certainly loves his pairing with Rusev. But maybe he is sick of the sidekick role, and he lets his boss know after The New Day pins them at Hell in a Cell. English then embarks on a solo heel turn.
Why this possibility makes sense is because it will allow Rusev to embark on a full-fledged babyface run. And the WWE Universe has wanted to see this happen for a long time.
#2 Dean Ambrose
Let me tell you guys why I believe Dean Ambrose may go heel soon, aside from the fact that every wrestling fan has been talking about it. Chances are high that Roman Reigns will defeat Braun Strowman inside Hell in a Cell this weekend. He will probably not lose his first Universal Championship PPV match.
What that essentially means is that Reigns may not have believable heel opponents to face after Hell in a Cell and Strowman. Ambrose could be perfect in his antagonist. Moreover, Ambrose has not really had a heel run thus far.
Reigns and Ambrose could really tear it up when they compete for the Universal Championship. The two men could certainly make the product very interesting, following this turn.
#1 Mick Foley
Mick Foley will be the special guest referee for the match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Two decades since he took the tumble that changed the wrestling business, he will be locked inside the structure again. What could his role possibly be? Maybe he turns heel at Hell in a Cell.
Stephanie McMahon could appoint him as the full-time heel General Manager. She could inform Kurt Angle that he has been fired. And this could lead to a whole new sequence of interesting events.
It could bring back Angle in a full-time role. It could make things very interesting.
Do you think any of these turns could take place at Hell in a Cell?
