16-time World Champion John Cena turns Heel at WWE Summerslam 2021?

Cena

John Cena has the biggest opportunity to turn Heel. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest draws of the event, but the question is – Can WWE up the ante by turning Cena Heel at the “Biggest Party of the Summer”.

John Cena has been the face of the company for a major part of his career. But that often leads to fans turning against him. He is clearly the underdog in his upcoming match against The Big Dog! The essence of the match is the fact that the biggest Face of the company is going against the biggest Heel of recent times. This makes the opportunity for Cena to turn Heel, all the more shocking.

Fans are least expecting Cena to turn Heel, setting up the perfect chance for him to turn on the crowd, use some unfair means to pick up victory. But this will obviously require Cena to make more WWE appearances in the near future, but there is no clarity on that as of now.

Can the Rated-R Superstar Edge turn Heel at WWE Summerslam 2021?

Edge

It is undebatable that the Rated-R Superstar Edge is a far better Heel than he is a babyface. But for his current WWE Summerslam 2021 storyline with Seth Rollins he is clearly the Babyface in the rivalry. WWE can decide to deliver a swerve and turn Edge Heel as the match progresses.

This will not be completely uncharacteristic for him, as he had done something similar a couple of months back. Edge had began his rivalry against Universal Champion Roman Reigns as a Face and had then slowly turned Heel, making Daniel Bryan the only Face in the rivalry.

Turning Edge Heel at Summerslam will serve multiple purposes. It will not only Edge to perform on his strengths but also help Seth Rollins for the future. Turning Edge Heel would mean an eventual Face turn for Rollins, which is necessary if WWE plans a Rollins vs Reigns feud. WWE is unlikely to go for a Heel vs Heel angle and hence a gradual Face turn for Rollins in necessary. .

WWE Summerslam 2021 airs live on 21st August, 2021.
