WWE Reportedly Planning Shocking Babyface Turn For Top Heel
According to reports, WWE might soon turn a top heel star into a babyface.
Balor had stated earlier in his promos that he would face Punk without any help from his Judgment Day stablemates. As a result, he never asked for help, and Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh never showed up to assist him at Elimination Chamber.
Following the match and his loss, Finn Balor shook hands with CM Punk. As per Dave Meltzer, all of these small details lead to one conclusion, and that is that WWE will soon turn Finn Balor babyface.
Finn Balor Babyface Turn In WWE Could Lead Him To Clash With Dominik Mysterio
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated that WWE is planning a babyface turn for Balor. He added that this is why fans have recently seen him cut more babyface-style promos and avoid using heel tactics to try to win his match against CM Punk at Elimination Chamber.
It was also added that a babyface turn could trigger WWE’s original plans of having Finn Balor clash with Dominik Mysterio.
“Well, he did do the handshake, and there was no JD and Dom and he never called for them. So that’s the story. The story is, is that he’s going to be, I think that they’re finally going to get to him and Dom. You know, I mean, him and Dom were scheduled for SummerSlam. I mean, that’s when the match was first scheduled to happen. And I think that they just dragged it out because Judgment Day was doing so well. They didn’t want to rush it.”
“But lately, you know, Finn’s been certainly building towards being a baby face. He did those baby face promos leading into this match. You know, ‘I have to win it on my own’ and all that, which I thought was just gonna be one of those things where they come and interfere later in the match.”
