WWE May Shift Plans for Ludwig Kaiser Following RAW
WWE audiences embrace Ludwig Kaiser in the Netflix Era, with reports suggesting his European tour popularity could influence a potential babyface turn despite current heel status.
WWE Universe is embracing Ludwig Kaiser more than ever. His relationship with Tiffany Stratton has helped generate buzz, but the Imperium member has received praise for breaking out in the Netflix Era. Reports now reveal potential plans for Kaiser on The Road to WrestleMania 41.
The A-Plus Specimen turned heel one year before joining WWE in 2017. Kaiser and Stratton previously kept their relationship private, but the couple has gone more public recently, with this development combined with Kaiser’s natural charisma growing his popularity.
The German grappler returned home for non-televised events, defeating Austin Theory on Saturday in Dortmund, and Grayson Waller in Hannover on Sunday. Kaiser received immense babyface fan praise and delivered post-match speeches during his return to his native country.
Information has emerged that Kaiser could be turning babyface on WWE TV in the next couple of weeks as the company runs overseas episodes until March 31. Fightful Select added that Kaiser has remained a heel over the years, but is now embracing the babyface role, at least on live events.
Backstage personnel indicate that Kaiser’s babyface European Elegance is currently being used only for non-televised live events on the ongoing Road to WrestleMania overseas tour. Certain aspects like specific crowd reactions could help calibrate the week-to-week status of Kaiser’s character. Reports state that Kaiser is not expected to imminently work on TV as a babyface, but that could change.
Tonight’s loaded live RAW from Brussels saw Kaiser lose a No Holds Barred match to Penta. However, the two-time NXT Tag Team Champion was booked differently to start the tour by taking on the babyface role against A-Town Down Under in their matches.
