Could Mysterio turn heel effectively?

Plus you have to admit, a team with such a small man and such a large woman would be pretty entertaining. Then go with the "bitter over putting his body on the line and not getting the appreciation he deserves" attitude, and have him bring in the aforementioned "insurance policy" to protect him in his matches. Once you take away Rey's heart and turn him into a coward who hides behind someone bigger and stronger and uses them to win matches, it will get heat. Plus it would be pretty believable. Like a wimp at school bribing a bully to watch his back, and letting it go to his head. Turn Rey into the little annoying jerk at school that everyone wanted to pound.

I like the idea of having Rey hide behind a bodyguard but not Aloisia. It wouldn't work on 2 levels for me. 1) She looks more awkward that intimidating. Much like Cottonwood. 2) WWE would end up booking it as an "Odd Couple Romance" between a little guy and a big girl.

Bring in Awesome Kong and use her, that could work. Or failing that a big guy.
