Rumor Round-Up: Two Smackdown Stars Turning Babyface? Cain Velasquez’s Next Match, More

1) Two Smackdown Stars Turning Babyface?

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer also spoke about some potential babyface turns that could happen on Smackdown.

In the short-term, it appears as if WWE is turning Lacey Evans babyface. She worked as a babyface on RAW alongside Natalya. The blue brand is currently low on female babyfaces, which is why they could be officially turning her.

In the long-term, it appears as if WWE could also turn Sasha Banks. According to Meltzer, this is because the big program on Smackdown looks to be Sasha Banks vs Bayley. That appears to be more of a long-term turn though and won’t happen for a while.

In my Wrestlemania 36 predictions, I have Sasha vs Bayley for the Smackdown Women’s Title at the event. Turning Sasha down the road would set that one up nicely.
