WATCH: Two SmackDown Stars Tease Big Heel Turn
To the other side? No matter how talented a wrestler might be, there is always going to be a time when they need some kind of a freshening up. Maybe they need a different look or a different character, but occasionally the right answer is a different direction. The most common version of this is to have a wrestler turn good or bad, and now two WWE stars are teasing such a change. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Second Generation Star Signs With WWE The main event of this week’s SmackDown saw Madcap Moss fall short in his challenge for Gunther’s Intercontinental Title.

WRESTLING RUMORS: NXT Set To Change Title Belt Designs
An old look. Titles are some of the most important things in a wrestling promotion. A wrestler holding a title is one of the signs that the company has made an investment into them and it makes them feel like more important deals.
