On Saturday, February 28, WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 will take place from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
While all eyes will be on the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber, WWE could leave fans with some memories if some heels on the roster turned babyface over the course of the evening.
Here are seven potential babyface turns at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
7. Giulia
On the January 2 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Giulia defeated Chelsea Green to become a two-time WWE Women’s United States Champion.
With Kiana James by her side, Giulia has been on a mission to garner more gold and reach the top of the SmackDown women’s division.
However, “The Beautiful Madness” might be at her best when she is a babyface and is able to embrace the fans in a way that she did when she first signed with WWE.
With Giulia potentially competing in the Women’s Elimination Chamber, she might need to turn babyface and leave James as her associate to stand on her own on the WWE main roster.

6. Austin Theory
At WWE Survivor Series 2025, Brock Lesnar and The Vision defeated CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Usos and Roman Reigns in the Men’s WarGames Match thanks to interference from a masked mystery man.
A few weeks later, it was revealed that the individual behind the mask was none other than Austin Theory.
Becoming the latest member of The Vision, Theory came with a new attitude and looked determined to turn his career around. However, a new masked attacker has seemingly appeared out of nowhere to make The Vision’s life a living hell as of late.
Revealing that he is working with this mystery attacker, Theory could be nothing more than a mole who is looking to take down The Vision from within and turns babyface to show his true identity at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.

5. Lash Legend
Ahead of WWE Survivor Series 2025, Lash Legend was officially called up to the main roster after several years on the NXT brand.
Joining forces with Nia Jax, Legend has been establishing herself as one of the most intimidating female stars on the WWE roster today.
At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Legend had arguably her most impressive performance yet with five eliminations in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match.
With the fans obviously wowed her stunning strength and undeniable presence, Lash could need to turn babyface and go against Jax to fully reach her true potential at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.

4. Kairi Sane
Heading into WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Kairi Sane was adamant about wanting to do everything in her power to help her senpai Asuka win and advance to WrestleMania 42 to become a champion again.
However, Sane inadvertently eliminated “The Empress of Tomorrow” from the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and has not been seen since.
With Asuka not liking Kairi’s error, fans could see the Kabuki Warriors finally going their separate ways.
Kairi Sane finally standing up to Asuka could be a memorable moment at the WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 premium live event that feels like the culmination of the story they have been telling over the past few months.

3. Trick Williams
Ever since being called up to the WWE main roster, Trick Williams has become one of the most popular stars on Friday Night SmackDown.
Usually garnering one of the loudest reactions every time his music hits, Williams has felt like an instant star who can easily reach the top of WWE.
After staking his claim to become a future world champion, it feels clear that Williams is destined for huge things in the near future.
Wanting to embrace the cheers he usually receives every time he appears, Trick could turn babyface and face off with some of the heels on the WWE roster on a major stage like Elimination Chamber 2026.

2. Drew McIntyre
Despite some of his actions over the course of the past few years, one thing has stayed consistent with Drew McIntyre and that is he always feels like he is the one in the right.
Being the hero of his own story, McIntyre was able to overcome the injustices against him to finally defeat Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell Match to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on the January 9 edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
With both Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu attacking him at every turn, McIntyre has been made to sound like a babyface in his promos, especially on the February 6 episode of SmackDown.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 could see McIntyre opposite Rhodes and witness a double turn that has “The Scottish Warrior” turn babyface, while “The American Nightmare” becomes the heel in this ongoing rivalry.

1. Finn Balor
After coming up short against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 19 Monday Night Raw, Finn Balor looked to gain entry into the Men’s Royal Rumble before being denied by GM Adam Pearce.
This led to Balor viciously attacking Punk and eventually convincing “The Best In The World” to accept his challenge for a rematch for the title at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.
While Balor will be the heel against Chicago’s own Punk, the post match might see The Judgment Day member finally see the error of his ways.
Showing respect to Punk once again, Balor could draw the ire of his Judgment Day stablemates, which leads to him finally turning babyface and fighting against Dominik Mysterio after over a year of animosity between the two men.
