In this article, we will discuss five potential betrayals that might happen in 2026, and you may not see them coming.


#5. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair

The pairing of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair continues in the WWE women's division. Earlier, the company dropped major hints about the heel turn of The Goddess, but it has not yet happened.

However, 2026 could see the breakup of Bliss and Flair. This might happen when Alexa finally turns to her darker side and decides to leave The Queen. Later, she might join The Wyatt Sicks faction with Uncle Howdy.

Triple H has been teasing a breakup of The Judgment Day for months. Recently, tensions were clear between Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. However, the breakup - possibly happening in 2026 - might involve Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor.

The former Universal Champion is unhappy with Dom Dom because of past incidents, and with Dominik still holding the IC Title, it could lead to jealousy. Balor might finally betray The Judgment Day member and challenge him for a mid-card title match.

#3. The Usos

The Usos are back on Monday Night RAW as a tag team and are aiming for the World Tag Team Titles. Jey and Jimmy Uso recently defeated The New Day, which shows they are still good as a pair.

However, next year could be tough for The Usos' fans when The YEET Master turns heel and betrays his real-life brother. WWE hinted at a heel turn for Jey, but then suddenly reunited him with Big Jim.

So it's possible the company might want to use this opportunity on a bigger stage when they finally execute the heel turn of the Samoan star in 2026.


#2. Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY

The alliance between Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY continues on WWE RAW. Whenever the former Damage CTRL member needed some help, The Eradicator was always there to support her.

This positive duo of Ripley and SKY might come to an end in 2026 if one of them betrays the other and turns into a villainous star. Mostly, Mami could be the one who betrays IYO and turns heel after a long time.

The return of Randy Orton is eagerly anticipated by the WWE Universe. It's been a long time since fans wanted to witness a showdown between Cody Rhodes and Orton.

However, this may happen in 2026 when The Viper turns on his real-life friend and challenges him for an Undisputed WWE Title match. A feud between Orton and Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship will feed generations.
