With plenty of twists and turns left on the Road to WrestleMania 42, there could certainly be new babyfaces leaving Las Vegas.
From fan favorites that have already teased a turn to other flips that could be total surprises, there are some intriguing choices of which characters could have a change of heart at WrestleMania 42.
Here are six potential babyface turns that could occur at WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
6. Bron Breakker
One potential babyface flip that could happen organically depending on his WrestleMania 42 opponent might be Bron Breakker.
With the ability to go up against major heels in WWE like Brock Lesnar or even Drew McIntyre, Breakker could certainly become even more positioned as a renegade babyface versus a true heel.
Able to channel some of the anti-authority spirit that was beloved in Stone Cold Steve Austin, there could certainly end up being the perfect storyline that brings him around to being a babyface.
Still able to feud with Seth Rollins upon The Visionary’s return, the pair could have an intense and intriguing showdown where each could gain their own sympathizers and detractors.

5. Finn Balor
With some recent increased focus on Finn Balor, it seemed as though perhaps the star would be set for another shot at CM Punk and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
However, with Roman Reigns the Royal Rumble 2026 winner selecting Punk as his WrestleMania 42 challenger, it will be interesting to see what is next for Balor.
Potentially looking to embark on his own redemption arc, fans have been notably enjoying cheering for Finn Balor, something that could firmly crystalize at WrestleMania 42.
If the big event were to host the dissolution of the Judgment Day, particularly with Balor besting Dominik Mysterio for the WWE Intercontinental Championship — Finn Balor’s babyface future would be secured.

4. Kairi Sane
After Kairi Sane was inadvertently responsible for Asuka’s elimination at the WWE Royal Rumble 2026, it would seem that things aren’t looking up for the Kabuki Warriors.
With Asuka’s presentation becoming increasingly more violent and psychotic as time passes, it would make total sense to see her not only sadistically target Kairi — but possibly look to recruit new members of the stable.
With the addition of more to the group, it could be that Kairi Sane ends up being able to find her own babyface fighting spirit again.
Able to certainly partner with IYO SKY to battle Asuka, it will be fascinating to see who joins Asuka. Potentially Giulia or another former fierce competitor in Japan — NXT’s Blake Monroe formerly Mariah May during her time in STARDOM.

3. Raquel Rodriguez
With growing tension in the Judgment Day, it is becoming increasingly clear that perhaps all is not well in the Clubhouse.
After Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez have continued to go against the wishes of Rodriguez, it would seem that perhaps a babyface turn could be coming soon for her.
Potentially striking out on her own after departing the group, it could end up being Raquel who proves pivotal in Liv Morgan’s WrestleMania 42 main event as the winner of the WWE Royal Rumble.
With Raquel able to end up costing Liv the title in the end, a brand new babyface era for ‘Big Mami Cool’ could be coming soon.

2. The Bella Twins
While the Bella Twins have reunited in WWE as clear heels, it could be that by the time WrestleMania 42 rolls around, things could be different.
Potentially looking to capture the titles at Elimination Chamber, there could end up being an amazing showcase across generations at WrestleMania 42.
With a variety of teams that could put on a spectacular showing in a stipulation match of some kind — Tables, Ladders & Chairs perhaps — could end up showing off a more hardcore version of the Bellas.
Able to keep an edge but lean more into their positive fan support, the duo could drop the titles but gain a brand new storyline coming out of Las Vegas.

1. Austin Theory
With plenty of memorable moments still ahead on the Road to WWE WrestleMania 42, there are a few ways that Austin Theory could end up leaving Las Vegas as a babyface.
Potentially being revealed as the one who attacked Bron Breakker — but more likely just aligned with whoever is revealed as that second masked man — there are several routes for Theory to turn face.
Definitely able to be revealed as a spy all along for Seth Rollins upon The Visionary’s return, if there isn’t a major flip already with the faction, it could be that Theory comes out as a babyface hero.
Partnering with a presumably babyface return from Rollins, there could be a very fun redemption story for the duo as The Visionary looks to rebuild his own version of his promising faction of future stars.
