With WWE WrestleMania 41 fast approaching, there could be major shifts in several characters by the time the roster leaves Las Vegas.
Providing the ‘grandest stage of them all’ in which to make a major moment, there are a variety of current stars that could seemingly turn heel at WrestleMania 41.
Here are six potential heel turns that could happen at WWE WrestleMania 41.
6. Randy Orton
While Randy Orton was originally scheduled to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 41 in a match where he would be decidedly the babyface, there is now a unique opportunity to pivot entirely.
His WrestleMania 41 position remains a bit unclear after SmackDown featured dramatic developments – firstly, Kevin Owens informed fans he would be unable to compete at Mania.
Secondly, in the segment following the news, Randy Orton would end up delivering a vicious RKO to none other than SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
Perhaps Randy Orton will resume listening exclusively to the dark voices in his head and reinvent the heel version of the Viper.

5. Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair is scheduled to face IYO SKY at WrestleMania 41 in a match that Rhea Ripley continues to attempt to insert herself into, and likely will do by the time Mania actually comes around.
If things don’t go Belair’s way, after having won the Elimination Chamber to get the opportunity to have the match to begin with, she could snap and turn heel.
While Naomi is set to face off against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 41, the ultimate betrayal could be Bianca popping up for that match and turning on Cargill as well.
Cementing themselves as heels, the duo of Belair and Naomi could go on to dominate the WWE women’s tag team division for the rest of the Summer.

4. Alexa Bliss
There have been some general rumors that Alexa Bliss may be returning to WWE action for a match at WrestleMania 41, but so far, nothing has occurred on TV.
Also absent is the entire Wyatt Sicks faction (Bo Dallas, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan and Nikki Cross) with some potential tie-in between the two being speculated about.
Should Alexa Bliss pop up sometime between now and WrestleMania 41, we may see her turn heel at the event.
Potentially aligning with Nikki Cross directly to interfere in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match or even waging a surprise attack elsewhere, it would be fun to see Bliss back on the ‘grandest stage of them all’.

3. Bayley
Recently becoming affiliated with inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria, Bayley is set to team with her on SmackDown for a shot at the tag team titles at WrestleMania 41.
Last time Bayley got close to others in the locker room she would go on to be betrayed, but maybe Bayley will strike first this time.
With Damage CTRL having schemed to turn against her and being seemingly unaware that close friend Naomi was behind the attack on Jade Cargill all along, perhaps Bayley will decide to go back to her own heelish ways.
A babyface Bayley is beloved by the crowd, however she is just as intriguing of a performer when she is being a heel – the true utility player could easily switch things up at WrestleMania 41.

2. Sami Zayn
While Kevin Owens’ match with Randy Orton has been canceled, it would seem that Sami Zayn remains out of action from his last match with Owens.
There are a couple of theories that lend to the idea of Zayn turning heel, one of them being him going after Orton. However, that would massively undercut the feud Zayn and Owens have had over the past few months.
Another option though would be for Zayn to return and cost Jey Uso the World Heavyweight Championship in his match against GUNTHER.
Being able to leverage the fact he’s never won the World Title himself as well as sort of playing second-fiddle to others during his career, denying Uso the title in favor of being able to be the one to topple GUNTHER himself for his first WWE World Championship could be a very intriguing turn of events.

1. Seth Rollins & Paul Heyman
With Paul Heyman often being the key to all of these intertwining storylines, a few fans have theorised something that would be a true swerve in the WrestleMania night one main event.
While CM Punk and Roman Reigns are seemingly fighting over the love of Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins is an intriguing third man in this equation.
Could there be a chance that it’s actually Rollins who walks out of Mania with Heyman by his side, and potentially even revealing that they’ve been in cahoots all along, going back to Rollins costing Punk at Elimination Chamber?
