#3. Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins

The Street Profits disappeared from television briefly after they feuded with The Wyatt Sicks. Before walking into the shadows, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were apparently in the midst of a character shift as if the Wyatts had awakened a whole different side of theirs. It could work as a catalyst for a major change upon their return to the company.

Ford and Dawkins, who have been beloved babyfaces, could come back to WWE as a heel duo. The creative team could repackage them on SmackDown or RAW, giving The Street Profits a new gimmick. The two superstars could wreak havoc in the tag team division, unleashing their wrath on a babyface team, which could officially mark their heel turn.

#1. LA Knight may return to WWE as a heel

LA Knight suffered a merciless attack at the hands of Logan Paul and Bronson Reed this week on RAW. The nature of the attack was so severe that The Megastar had to be stretchered away to an ambulance. Knight is expected to remain away from television for a few weeks. There is a good possibility that he might come back to WWE as a heel.

Over the past few months, LA Knight may have very well realized that being a good guy wouldn't take him any further. His recent string of setbacks and being constantly attacked by The Vision may prompt him to undergo a seismic change. As a result, The Megastar could officially shed his babyface ideals and embrace his villainous side, officially turning heel.
