WWE Royal Rumble 2021 is on the horizon and it does seem like it's the most unpredictable show in a while, where it is almost impossible to predict who will win the men's and women's Rumble matches.
To make the road to WrestleMania interesting, and to ensure that there are enough headlines that emerge out of WWE Royal Rumble 2021, we could potentially see a bunch of heel and face turns at the pay-per-view.
Be sure to share your thoughts and let us know if you think one or more of these twists could potentially happen. Also, if you can think of more heel and face turns at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, do let us know in the comments section below.
Also, be sure to list your picks for WWE Royal Rumble 2021 in the comments section right below.
#1 Apollo Crews turns heel at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 helping Roman Reigns defeat Kevin Owens
He has been showing heelish tendencies, by pulling on tights and then consulting with Roman Reigns backstage, but it would be premature to call Apollo Crews a heel at this point in time.
However, he could certainly go heel at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 by helping Roman Reigns defeat Kevin Owens, making the latter look strong even in defeat.
It will be the third time that Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens will have faced one another, and it is clear that Roman Reigns will be winning this contest as well. There is no way that they will stall his momentum, based on just how hot he is at the moment.
Apollo Crews going heel and aligning with Roman Reigns will probably be the most significant thing that he has done through the course of his career, since he first arrived to the company.
#1 Cedric Alexander turns face at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 when he eliminates Bobby Lashley, becoming a good guy in the process
At WWE Royal Rumble 2021, we could officially see the end of The Hurt Business, if you consider how the weeks leading up to the pay-per-view have shown dissent within the current ranks. Could WWE Royal Rumble 2021 be the straw that breaks the camel's back, where Cedric Alexander eliminates Bobby Lashley effectively splitting the ranks?
Bobby Lashley has been booked as one of the most dominant United States Champions in recent memory and it just seems like there's nobody in the mid-card that can potentially take him down right now.
Perhaps Cedric Alexander has a moment at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, where, even though he doesn't win the whole thing, we see him have an iron-man performance, establishing him as a breakout star for the future.
And this man could go all the way to WrestleMania, where he ends the reign of terror of Bobby Lashley, capturing the United States Championship in the best moment of his entire career.
#2 Charlotte Flair turns on Asuka at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 after losing the titles
At WWE Royal Rumble 2021, we will see Asuka and Charlotte Flair team up to take on their challengers Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler in a match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. Yes, this is a big match, but it's also an odd one because Asuka is also the WWE RAW Women's Champion. The winner of the women's Royal Rumble match could certainly challenge Asuka, but there's every chance that we could see a heel turn instead.
Let's assume that Charlotte Flair and Asuka come up short at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, where Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are able to overcome them and become the brand new Champions.
If this was to happen, it is all too likely that Charlotte Flair turns on Asuka, upset at them losing, making a feud for the RAW Women's Championship official at some point after WWE Royal Rumble 2021. Maybe the two of them clash at WrestleMania later in the year?
#2 Bianca Belair wins the women's Rumble at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, picks Sasha Banks as her opponent, and then goes heel with the whole world watching
When it comes to potential WWE Royal Rumble 2021 winners for the women's Rumble match, a lot of people are picking Bianca Belair as a strong favorite. WWE clearly believes in her, considering they had her lift Otis on her shoulders not long ago. But if Bianca Belair does stand tall after WWE Royal Rumble 2021, it presents us with a unique problem for WrestleMania.
Unless Carmella was to win the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship match at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, we will be getting a Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair match at WrestleMania (with all due respect to Carmella, Carmella vs. Bianca Belair doesn't seem like as big a match).
One of the two women has to go heel then, and with the kind of momentum that she has right now, it is not likely to be Sasha Banks. Bianca Belair's 'EST' personality would also lend itself to a heel gimmick.
#3 Sheamus interferes in the WWE Championship match at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, helping Goldberg pick up a big win
So, WWE Royal Rumble 2021 is just around the corner, and this week, Denise was joined by a good friend of SK Wrestling, Alex McCarthy, who picked his favorites for the show. Find out if your own predictions for WWE Royal Rumble 2021 match theirs by clicking on the link shared right above.
Drew McIntyre has been very open about wanting to work with Sheamus and elevating him in the same manner that Roman Reigns elevated Jey Uso, over on the SmackDown brand. Could Sheamus be the man who costs Drew McIntyre his WWE Championship at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, where he causes a distraction, allowing Goldberg to win the match?
For Sheamus to go heel wouldn't be much of a stretch because that's the role that he's played, very well, mind you, for most of his career. Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus could fill in the gap until WrestleMania when McIntyre faces Goldberg for the WWE Championship again.
