WWE Extreme Rules 2018: Bobby Lashley and the Most Probable Heel and Face Turns | Bleacher's report

WWE Extreme Rules 2018 could very well figure The most beautiful event history card dates back to 2009. This Sunday, the SmackDown Live and Raw Superstars are will gather for what is generally known as the most "extreme" night of the WWE, seeking to settle accounts and "

Although the construction of pay-per-view left much to be desired, a number of matches Advertisements have the potential to steal (and save) the show. More importantly, a character change or two could be exactly what WWE programming needs at the moment, and the Extreme Rules would be a good place for some stars to move from face to heel or vice versa.

on Raw and SmackDown, but these three are the most likely to take place at Extreme Rules 2018.

Bobby Lashley

Whoever watched Bobby Lashley's run in IMPACT knows well that his best character work was a stub, both in the ring and at the mic. He never had the opportunity to embark on the heel during his first stint at the WWE, but it was possible that he would be brought back as a villain earlier this year.

Unfortunately, the WWE did not waste any time to reintroduce Lashley as the same smiling babyface as it was before leaving the company more than ten years ago. The problem is that he had a short life with this shtick the first time, and until now, his second stint with the WWE has not been different.

His quarrel with Roman Reigns did not have much juice up to that point, but a flip of Lashley would certainly make fans more attentive to his character and the rest of their rivalry. In fact, the former ECW and US champion relegating to sneaky tactics to defeat Reigns would be an ideal way to return him.

In addition, Raw currently lacks credible villains with Kevin Owens, Jinder Mahal and Baron Corbin. to be reserved to look like losers. Therefore, Lashley is the high heel that Raw desperately needs.

Rusev

Rusev has been a full babyface for a long time. That was evident as early as December 2017, when his "Rusev Day" trick invaded the public, but the WWE never felt that the time had come to pull the trigger of the turn

. Recently, he began to be featured at the top of the card and had the opportunity to fight for the WWE title. He has accumulated a number of notable victories over the past month, but he will still be seen as a staggering one when he manages to knock AJ Styles off for the WWE title at Extreme Rules.

That said, it is not imperative for Rusev to leave with gold on Sunday. The styles keeping the title in SummerSlam are the best choice, but that does not mean that Rusev can not look strong in defeat against Styles.

In doing so, the Bulgarian Brute can come out of her outing with Styles as a revered babyface. He already has the fans on his side, so all the WWE has to do is put him on the heels to make the tour official.

Kane

Kane's return to the ring and reunion with Daniel Bryan last month caused shockwaves in the SmackDown team division Live. The Hell No team has appeared on the scene fighting The Usos, The Bludgeon Brothers and SAnitY en route to the challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

Bryan and Kane have made a fun final race as a tandem, but is certainly not destined to last and should end on Sunday. Although this allows Bryan to re-enter the WWE Championship table, it is unclear what would happen to Kane if they were to separate.

Kane has a habit of befriending people right after; just ask The Undertaker, Rob Van Dam and Big Show. Bryan may not be an exception, especially if they fail to capture the twin titles

Of course, Kane would betray Bryan and turn his heel for the umpteenth time would be the worst case, if only because we have seen it happen so many times before with him. However, you can not rule out the obvious with WWE, so do not be surprised to see the return of the Big Red Monster on the dark side Sunday.
