10 WWE Face/Heel Turns That Must Happen In 2021
4. Adam Cole Turns Heel
Adam Cole has been a very entertaining and endearing babyface since losing his NXT Championship to Keith Lee. He has mostly avoided being the centre of attention recently, allowing fellow stable member Kyle O'Reilly to be the most prominent member of The Undisputed Era for the last few months. Cole is one of the genuinely nicest men in all of professional wrestling and his recent run as a good guy has shown the world his natural friendliness. He will have a great babyface run if they continue this direction going forward.
However, the best outcome would be to turn Cole heel again, this time against his friend Kyle O'Reilly. The hints have been prominent since O'Reilly was officially declared as Finn Balor's first challenger and the amount of time audiences have invested in the Undisputed Era would mean that a turn against O'Reilly would be viscerally effective, immediately getting Cole over as a heel again and leading to a guaranteed masterpiece of a feud. Their chemistry as opponents is impeccable and they'll be guaranteed to deliver if NXT creative decide to fragment the Era.
Hopefully, NXT will pull off their best heel turn of the 2020s so far with Adam Cole.
