WWE Hell in a Cell 2015: Most Likely Heel and Face Turns at Event

Ahead of a big run-in toward the end of the year, expect WWE to have some twists and turns up its sleeve at the upcoming Hell in a Cell show.

It's been a disappointing few months for WWE, so it needs to ensure HIAC goes off with a bang to keep interest high in the latter part of the year.

One way to do that, of course, is via face and heel turns. There hasn't been many of those to speak of in recent months, so what likely turns could be on the card at Hell in a Cell?

Paige

The first choice is perhaps an obvious one, but the Divas division desperately needs some clarity regarding Paige moving forward.

She's clearly one of the more popular, unique and ultimately interesting Divas on the roster, so WWE has to ensure she is used properly in the next few months.

Her brilliant promo she cut on Charlotte and Becky Lynch the night after Night of Champions seemed to suggest a full-blown heel turn for Paige, but since then, she has hovered back and forth with little explanation or clarity.

So with her not scheduled to compete in the ring, Paige needs to make a big statement and turn heel, a scenario which could well take place. Sure, have Charlotte defend her Divas title and beat Nikki Bella, but then when it looks like Paige is ready to celebrate with Team PCB, instigate the end of that faction by having her lay Charlotte out in the middle of the ring.

It would set Paige up as the division's stand-alone rebel, likely because Natalya would join forces with Lynch and Charlotte permanently.

And that would certainly add a fresh new dynamic on a division that needs some impetus at the moment.

Dolph Ziggler

Much like Paige, Dolph Ziggler is one babyface that isn't currently scheduled to compete at Hell in a Cell.

However, expect the go-home edition of Raw this week to correct that problem, with Ziggler likely competing against John Cena for the U.S. title this weekend.

That scenario could then open up the possibility for Ziggler to turn heel at the event, actually in a not-too-dissimilar way to Paige.

The aftermath of his match would be the best way to turn Ziggler heel. Whether he wins or loses against Cena (preferably he wins), he can refuse Cena's offer of a handshake, savagely assaulting him and putting him off TV for a few weeks.

That would certainly get him over as a heel with some fans, although you expect there will be some applause from the John Cena detractors.

Nonetheless, a heel turn could then be secured the following night by pitting him against one of WWE's best babyfaces. Imagine a heel Ziggler and Dean Ambrose fighting for a major piece of silverware, for example.

And above all, Ziggler just needs something new now. The angle with Rusev and Lana was a disaster, and it feels like Dolph has run his course as a babyface for now.

Seth Rollins

It may not be the most likely turn of the bunch, but are we nearing a scenario where Seth Rollins turns heel?

He's fighting Kane for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this weekend, and if the demon is to pick up the title and end Rollins' reign, perhaps a face turn for Seth is the best way of doing things?

With The Authority in two minds about who their man is on Sunday, perhaps they're ultimately convinced by Rollins' losing streak of late.

They're unconvinced he's the best man for the title anymore, so throw their weight behind Kane and execute an Authority-style screwjob to rob Rollins of the title. The face turn could then be secured by Rollins attacking Triple H, or even vice versa.

Of course, there's even another way WWE can turn Rollins face. Have him just about hold onto the title at the expense of Kane, but just as he celebrates with Triple H, The Game lays him out in the middle of the ring.

He then calls for Sheamus, the new face of The Authority, who storms to the ring, cashes in the Money in the Bank and becomes the new world champion.

There's lots of ways WWE could turn Rollins, but you just wonder with him losing so much lately whether there's a plan to have The Authority finally step away from his side.
