Tonight's WWE RAW will feature the fallout of the Bad Blood Premium Live Event this weekend along with several matches, a couple of them with championships on the line. Interestingly, one of them might also feature an unexpected heel turn.
One of the championship matches set tonight on WWE RAW will be between Jey Uso and Xavier Woods for the Intercontinental Championship, making it the champion's first televised title defense. The challenger got the match after Jey initially offered the shot to Kofi Kingston, but he gave it to Woods instead. However, Kofi might have a hidden agenda for this kind gesture.
Xavier has been in a bad mood on the Monday show lately. Last week, he even took advantage of Rey getting unmasked to get the win during their singles match. Due to his recent actions, fans speculated that he could turn heel anytime soon, maybe even tonight. However, The New Day could pull a surprise by revealing that Kingston is also turning heel alongside his partner.
As mentioned above, Woods took advantage of Rey last week, yet Kofi looked past it and offered the title shot to his partner. This could be because Kingston was getting Xavier's point of view and became more understanding about his actions.
The former WWE Champion turned face on February 21, 2016, making it around 3,151 days since he played a heel character. Becoming the bad guy could revitalize not just his career but the entirety of The New Day. The group could be viewed as a more legitimate threat, get more title opportunities, and they wouldn't have to disband.
What hint did a former employee think Kofi Kingston dropped on WWE RAW last week about a heel turn?
While Kofi was delivering the news that Xavier was about to have an IC Championship match, the former said he knows he shouldn't have made that decision, but his partner deserved the title shot. Interestingly, former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci thought this was a subtle hint about a heel turn.
In an episode of the Behind the Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Tommy said that due to Kingston's choice of words, it might just be his subtle way of making Woods think they were on the same team only to swerve Xavier in the end and turn heel instead.
It would be interesting to see what will happen between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods tonight on WWE RAW.
