WWE will add two or three more contests to fill out the card in the next week and a half. However, with Clash in Italy going down the following week, some of the bigger matches, like with Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther, will probably be saved for the PLE.
Whatever happens between now and May 23, the following three heel and two face turns could influence Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIV.
#5. Maxxine Dupri helps out a top RAW faction
Maxxine Dupri has been in limbo on RAW after losing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch. She received support from AJ Lee, but once Lee won the title from The Man, Dupri disappeared.
When she did pop up, it would be in the background of backstage segments. In those pieces, she could be seen conversing with the Vision’s Austin Theory.
On the latest RAW, Dupri sat in the backseat of the Vision’s SUV as Theory was interviewed about facing the Profits. Since she’s riding with the group, it could easily lead to a big heel turn at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The faction doesn’t have a female member, and Theory could be recruiting the former Alpha Babe. It would cause tension with Otis and Akira Tozawa, but give Dupri something different to sink her teeth into. Interfering to help the Vision could lead to a heel turn.
#4. Kiana James makes her own mark in WWE
Kiana James lost to Tiffany Stratton in Stratton’s first defense as the new Women’s United States Champion. Ever since Giulia lost the title, the two allies have had issues.
One woman would interfere in the other’s match, but a miscommunication prevented a victory. Some argue that James has outshone The Beautiful Madness in their alliance, so that could easily lead to a face turn in the near future.
The duo could compete in tag team action only for Giulia to turn on her one-time advocate. That would allow James to break out on her own as a face with Giulia remaining a heel on RAW or SmackDown.
#3. Rey Fenix betrays his Lucha Brother
Despite arriving in WWE close to each other, Triple H has booked Penta much better than Rey Fenix. Penta lost in several attempts to win the Intercontinental Championship but finally captured it ahead of WrestleMania 42.
He’ll defend that championship against All Ego Ethan Page after Page pinned him in tag team action. While the former IMPACT World Champion has enjoyed success on RAW, his brother, Rey Fenix, can’t say the same on SmackDown.
WWE routinely books Fenix to lose to nearly every heel he faces. Triple H hasn’t used him on the blue brand for weeks. He returned on last week’s SmackDown, but only to appear backstage for the Gingerbread Man’s wake.
That’s a terrible use of someone as exciting as Fenix. Since he is looking for more opportunities, he could do so by moving to RAW. Turning on his brother to get a title shot could be what finally sets him moving up the ladder in WWE.
Fans want to see the Lucha Brothers team together or fight each other. Turning at Saturday Night’s Main Event would achieve the latter.
#2. Roxanne Perez stands against the Judgment Day
WWE has already planted the seeds for a potential face turn for Roxanne Perez. She’s been a defiant heel as a member of the Judgment Day, but the group’s issues with Finn Balor have put her on the chopping block.
She showed her loyalty to the group by blasting Balor with the ring bell hammer during his match with JD McDonagh. Despite that, it feels like Liv Morgan doesn’t trust her, no matter what she says or does.
The Prodigy will team with Raquel Rodriguez to challenge new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella on RAW. The turn could occur on Monday, but may also be pushed to Saturday Night’s Main Event.
It could happen in a six-woman tag team match. If the Judgment Day loses on either WWE show, it wouldn’t be a shock if Morgan decides to kick Perez out of the group for good.
#1. The Usos finally make a huge move
Despite joining up with Roman Reigns yet again, the Usos think they’re on the same level as The Tribal Chief. The name alone suggests obeying the Chief no matter what.
With that in mind, nothing is different in the latest partnership in the Bloodline. Jimmy and Jey do Roman’s bidding on SmackDown. They also try to tell Jacob Fatu what to do, so as not to upset the dynamics within the Bloodline.
Fatu and Reigns are clearly headed for another clash, but the Usos could be booked in their own match or segment at Saturday Night’s Main Event. That segment could set things up for Clash in Italy.
That possibility increased as they tried to stop The Samoan Werewolf from confronting The Tribal Chief on RAW. Turning on Fatu or Reigns could be the jolt WWE needs after a boring follow-up to WrestleMania 42.
