WWE: 5 Heel and Face Turns We Should Expect in 2020
By Mark Justice
1.) Braun Strowman: Turn Heel
Remember when Braun Strowman was actually a comedic heel in 2017-2018? That was a time when he was actually one the most over monsters in recent memory and when the WWE Universe wanted him to break into the main event scene and become Universal Champion.
Unfortunately, thanks to Brock Lesnar’s dominant reign, he was never successful in those Universal Championship matches. The WWE Universe stopped believing in him because he continuously failed to deliver in high-stake situations.
To make matters worse, the WWE turned him into a boring, one-dimensional babyface in 2019-2020. Once his momentum was irrelevant to the WWE Universe, the WWE decided to book Strowman for a Universal Championship victory at WrestleMania 36.
Talk about bad timing? Thanks to Wyatt Family history, Strowman’s current rivalry with Bray Wyatt has been decent. However, it is clear that the WWE Universe is on Bray Wyatt’s side and not Braun’s, so it would be fitting to book a double turn where Strowman turns heel and Wyatt (not the Fiend) turns face.
The majority of fans obviously don’t appreciate Braun Strowman as Universal Champion, so he could use this as an excuse to turn to the dark side. In order to apply this heel turn to the storyline, Strowman should succumb to the powers of the Fiend, join the puppets in the Firefly Funhouse, and become the black sheep he was known as in 2017.
Maybe that will bring the Braun Strowman back that the WWE Universe knew and love.
