3 Double Turns That Could Shake Up WWE Night of Champions 2025 |
WWE Night of Champions 2025 is set to be a blockbuster event live from Saudi Arabia, and the anticipation couldn't be higher. The event promises epic matchups, major title defenses, and the finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. But beyond the wrestling, WWE might be planning something much bigger — double turns that could redefine character arcs and ignite new rivalries.
Let’s explore 3 potential double turns that could take WWE by storm at Night of Champions 2025.
#3. 🔁 Sami Zayn Turns Heel, Karrion Kross Turns Face
Karrion Kross is finally returning to premium live event action after months of cryptic mind games and backstage manipulation. His target? Sami Zayn, who has been on a losing streak and appears to be on edge.
Possible Turn:
During their clash, Zayn — desperate to avoid another loss — might resort to a low blow or a dirty tactic to steal the win. This underhanded move would mark the beginning of a heel run for Zayn.
Meanwhile, Kross could earn sympathy as a fallen warrior who was wronged by WWE’s resident underdog — flipping his character into a fan-favorite antihero. This unexpected double turn would breathe new life into both men’s careers heading into SummerSlam.
#2. 🔁 Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton Turn Heel Together
The King of the Ring 2025 final is a dream match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton — student versus mentor. Both are beloved faces, and fans expect a clean, respectful bout. But what if WWE has other plans?
Possible Turn:
Imagine Jey Uso or Sami Zayn running down to help Cody or Orton fend off outside interference. Instead of gratitude, Rhodes and Orton respond with vicious attacks on their friends, declaring that they don't need help — and turning on the crowd in the process.
The two legends could reunite as a dangerous, dominant heel alliance, with echoes of Legacy 2.0. This shocking betrayal would ignite new feuds while also adding layers to their rivalry heading into SummerSlam.
#1. 🔁 John Cena Turns Face, CM Punk Goes Full Heel
The main event is poised to be one of the most historic in WWE history: John Cena vs. CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Championship. With Cena nearing retirement and Punk on a revenge tour, this match is high stakes — and high drama.
Possible Turn:
After a brutal match, Cena wins — only for CM Punk to snap and deliver a post-match GTS, cementing his heel turn. Then, Seth Rollins rushes down to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, only for Punk to help Rollins steal the title from Cena.
This shocking turn of events would:
-
Turn Cena into the ultimate babyface again, broken but beloved.
-
Reinforce Punk as a cold, manipulative heel.
-
Put the title on Rollins, reigniting tension between him and Punk.
This multi-layered turn would steal headlines and set WWE up for a thrilling summer.
🎯 Final Word
Night of Champions 2025 has the potential to be one of WWE’s most unforgettable events — not just because of its stacked card, but because of the creative risks the company might take.
If WWE pulls the trigger on these double turns, it could lead to:
-
Fresh storylines.
-
New rivalries.
-
Unpredictable SummerSlam matches.
Let’s see if WWE delivers these game-changing moments this weekend.
