We know the WWE's favorite way to break up a tag team is to have one half of it turn on the other, whether it's the pointless heel turns that ruined Cryme Tyme and the Hart Dynasty, or Big Show punching out Miz that started Show's most recent face run.
So basically, it's pretty much a given that either Kofi Kingston or Evan Bourne will turn heel, since I seriously doubt they'll turn both of them heel. Granted that's provided they don't just stop tagging and nothing is said of it again, but since they've gotten a mash-up theme and matching attire they seem a little more proper than Santino and Kozlov did, though so did Jerishow and they just sort of broke up with little fanfare too, if I remember correctly. Still, statistically, it's more much likely to end with Evan or Kofi turning.
As for which one of them? It's kind of hard, since they've both been babyfaces for the entire duration of their WWE tenures. My money's on Kofi, though; he showed during the Orton feud that he can get darker if they actually let him, and I think his moveset could be more easily adjusted to work as a heel than Evan's. About the only thing they'd have to trim would be the pyro, since as pyro goes, his BOOM BOOM BOOM pyro BOOM is pretty damn faceish. Which is a shame, since not enough of the roster has pyro, but you'd pretty much have to.
Evan? I know he worked as a heel before the WWE, but I still can't see ANYONE buying it.

I would think it would have to be Kofi... Evan is the definition of Babyface

Kofi. He's shown has the IT factor thanks to feud with Randy Orton & if he drops the whole "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" thing, I could buy him as a heel. But Evan? Just.......no.

I can see Bourne working a pretty boy heel gimmick like he did in WSX.

Bourne could only be a heel if he and Ryder turned heel together and made a boy band.

Bourne after winning the WrestleMania series and losing to John Cena by count out at the grandest stage of them all. Kofi beats Cena in a minute on the following Raw for the title, which Bourne will eventually win the next week on Smackdown following a shot to the head with a tag belt.
Ted Dibiase gets the next title shot because he's not busy at the moment.

Bourne couldn't in WWE. Him as a heel would just get his ass beat. He does already sure, but he gets the feisty face come back. He gets mopped up as a heel.
Has to be Kofi

It would have to be Kofi. Evan Bourne is pretty much always the underdog going into matches because of his size and usually only gets in offense during his face comebacks, and you add in the fact that WWE loves to weaken a superstars in-ring abilities anytime they turn someone heel, Bourne would end up being the biggest jobber if he ever turned.

Honestly, I can't see either being that great a Heel.
I suppose if held at gunpoint, Kofi would be the better choice.

I don't think either will turn. If/when they split up, I'm guessing it'll be via the draft.

Neither. They'll just randomly stop teaming. That happens a lot too. Hell it just happened a month or two ago with Otunga and McGuillicutty. MVP and Mark Henry's team pops to mind as one that went the same way. As well as a lot of teams on Superstars.
If it ends with any sort of storyline, it will be a heel injuring one of them.

I can see tham just splitting up and going back to being face singles wrestlers entertainers

Maybe Kofi, but I believe their team will "end" just like Booker and Goldust: friends forever (awww...)

They usually give the one with charisma the heel turn, so Kofi in this case.

Show and Jericho broke up because they lost the titles and were on separate brands - remember how Jericho kept trying to sneak onto Raw? Then eventually Show started teaming with Miz, and Jericho was jealous. Anyway, I always figured that they put Kofi and Bourne together because the bookers just have some sort of addiction to splitting tag teams up by having one turn on the other, and the two of them are such natural babyfaces that turning one heel wouldn't make sense, so it's a way to prevent themselves from doing it

They will break WWE tradition and neither one will turn heel during their eventual break up.
