As of late, WWE Raw has seen several stars teasing or hinting at a potential heel turn coming soon.
Seeing that the red brand has some of the most popular stars in the company, it would be very intriguing to see who might have a major character change in that way.
Having one of the biggest babyfaces turn heel could deliver one of the last memorable moments on Raw of 2025.
Here are six potential heel turns on WWE Raw.
6. Jey Uso
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, CM Punk defeated Jey Uso to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
This followed weeks of Uso dealing with growing frustrations with his inability to regain the World Title.
Having major disagreements with both his cousin Roman Reigns and twin brother Jimmy Uso, Jey has been teasing a potential heel turn down the line.
Jey Uso turning heel would be quite the risky choice by WWE with the former World Heavyweight Champion being among the most popular stars in the promotion and a major merchandise mover.

5. Jimmy Uso
Alongside his twin brother Jey, Jimmy Uso has returned to Monday Night Raw to fight against The Vision.
This has led to some miscommunication between Jey and Jimmy with Roman Reigns playing an instigator of sorts.
Wanting to help guide his cousin back to the gold, Reigns sees a little of himself in Jey and wants to see him regain the World Heavyweight Championship.
This close bond between Roman and Jey could lead to Jimmy turning heel on his family and finally standing on his own on WWE Raw.

4. The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar)
To start 2025, The War Raiders stood atop of the Raw tag team division as the World Tag Team Champions.
However, Erik and Ivar lost the titles to The New Day at WrestleMania 41 and have not come close to recapturing the gold since then.
With AJ Styles and Dragon Lee now holding the titles, it might be time for The War Raiders to turn heel to challenge the new champs.
Erik and Ivar could become a feared and intimidating as a duo if they turned heel to run roughshod over every other team on the red brand.

3. Nikki Bella
On the October 20 edition of WWE Raw, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Roxanne Perez. Post match, Perez and Raquel Rodriguez jumped Vaquer until Nikki Bella made the save.
This created an alliance between the two women against The Judgment Day, which should culminate with a tag team match on the November 3 edition of WWE Raw.
However, this could also lead to Bella eventually turning on Vaquer to try to get one more run at the top of the WWE women’s division.
The WWE Hall of Famer going after the Women’s World Championship could be a compelling story to tell and give Vaquer a bonafide star to overcome.

2. LA Knight
Ever since making the move to the WWE Raw brand, LA Knight has been focused on finally becoming a world champion.
In his hot pursuit of the gold, Knight has drawn the ire of his fellow babyfaces on the red brand, such as CM Punk and Jey Uso.
Now that Punk is the World Heavyweight Champion, it would not be surprising to see Knight come out to be his first challenger.
Knight turning heel on Punk could create one of the most heated rivalries of his entire WWE run and see him finally capture a world championship.

1. CM Punk
After winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, CM Punk sits at the mountaintop of Monday Night Raw.
Punk is still one of the biggest and most popular stars on the WWE roster today and will remain in that position until he retires.
However, many fans believe Punk is at his best when he is a heel, ane he could now have the opportunity to turn on WWE Raw.
With the likes of Roman Reigns, LA Knight and Jey Uso on the same brand, Punk has the perfect chance to finally turn heel for the first time since his 2021 return to pro wrestling.
