5 WWE Superstars who desperately need a heel turn - Roman Reigns’ ‘new’ friend, heartbreak for Aalyah Mysterio?

#3 Keith Lee (WWE RAW) – Big swerve in the WWE Championship picture

In all honestly, we were all excited to see Sheamus eventually turn heel and feud with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Unfortunately, that storyline will now have to go on hold until the entire chapter involving Goldberg is over. In the meantime, WWE could experiment with a heel turn for Keith Lee. Not to mention, it would account for a great swerve on WWE RAW.

Lee spent the entire 2020 proving his mettle inside the ring. Amidst his impressive performances on RAW, there were also backstage rumors about him returning the Performance Centre in order to work on certain aspects of his gimmick. He is one of the most promising Superstars in WWE today, and now would be the right time to test how he can carry himself on the two sides of the spectrum.

WWE doesn't want these wrestlers back - Find out now!

As harsh as it may seem, WWE RAW desperately needs interesting storylines to unfold in order to gain its viewership as well as a fraction of its past glory. Currently, AJ Styles and The Miz are the only two heels who pose a serious threat to the world title on the brand. Adding a villainous Lee into the mix would certainly spice things up for the WWE Championship and help in developing better storyline to create engaging content for a three-hour show.
