-- Umaga may be turning babyface after being cheered in many cities during WWE's recent tour of Europe. That kind of explains why WWE put him a spot last week on Raw to get a pop by attacking "Barack Obama" and "Hillary Clinton."

I don't know why but I am seeing Umaga become a Smackdown Main Eventer or maybe a Champ when that happens.

^ It could be good. Umaga is my favourite big man(besides Kane and taker). Umaga should have been champ instead of The Great Khali because unlike Khali, Umaga can wrestle...thanks for the update

I would like him to have a gimmick change. Not completely but I would like him to cut promos. Anyway, I read this and I wouldn't mind it but he looks to 'heelish'. And he may have just been cheered because he is a main eventer.

Is it just me or by the end of the year, when Umaga goes face and moves to Smackdown in the draft and than going at it with Taker for the title....

He really won'y be a babyface though.

He will just start attacking bad guys, but keep the same character. They have teased this a few times with him.

They did it last year for SummerSlam .... then suddenly pretended it never happened. It made sense to me!

 

[Airfixx]

I'd like to see him move to SD, battle the Faces first (particularly Taker) and THEN turn face...

 

[Qwake]

^ but if he fueds with Taker they will all hate him! whoever you put up against taker from the SD roster is going to be hated straight a way...well Rey Might have a chance but...

I dont like this. Him vs. Taker for the World Title could be quality, awesome matches. They need to do that first before doing anything with turning him face. Umanga gets the Title at Survivor Series 08!

 

[Viva!]

They need to start letting him speak English first.

95% of the time it's charisma that wins over the fans not wrestling ability.

Didn't he turn face last year? And then he turned heel the next week lol. Umaga works better as a heel imo, if he turned face I think it would be awkward because of how he looks and the way WWE pushes him as a monster

Just like Kane, yes.

I bet he'll start speaking in broken english, and all the Divas will find him adorable. "Awww Umaga you're so cuuuute! Come to our dressing room after the match... <3"
