#3. Drew McIntyre - Could the WWE Champion turn heel?

Drew McIntyre was a heel, and he would quietly turn face at the end of 2019/early 2020 before winning the Royal Rumble match. He was carefully pushed and protected, and the timing of his babyface turn was organic as well.

He has been the best babyface WWE Champion in years, and it's hard to imagine the last time that a World Champion was able to have such incredible matches pay-per-view after pay-per-view.

While we admittedly see less incentive in turning Drew McIntyre' heel at the peak of his WWE career, it could be a shock move to draw fans in ahead of WrestleMania 37. The only factor would be that he needs a good babyface challenger to have a reason to turn heel.

While it wouldn't be the most logical heel turn, it may be the most shocking one. Especially since Roman Reigns is already a top heel, it's hard to see Drew McIntyre as one too.
