3 Current Heels Who Were Better As Babyfaces

It is a norm in WWE to define each and every wrestler as heel or babyface. All the wrestlers make their character around this image.

There are some basic features that every heel has to adapt, like not caring about fans and using unfair means to win the matches almost every time.

But, there are some wrestlers who are natural in their role as heel or babyface, and when told to perform the other way round, they could not do justice to their character and their career starts taking a plunge.

Even now, there are some wrestlers who were brilliant when they were babyfaces, but since they have turned heel for the ongoing storyline, they are not doing so well. Let's look at the wrestlers who are at the moment playing a heel, but were better as babyfaces.


#3 Aiden English

Aiden English turned against Rusev by distracting him and thus costing him the United States Championship

In the most recent episode of Smackdown, Aiden English turned against Rusev by distracting him and thus costing him the United States Championship. English was with Rusev since the inauguration of the 'Rusev Day' and has made that gimmick what it is today.

I don't think fans would have been into this gimmick so much if it wasn't for Aiden, and I think we all can agree that Aiden is not one of the best wrestlers on the current roster.

When he part of the Rusev's team, he would at least get to be part of the show regularly. Now, when this feud will end between him and Rusev, he would be just another heel wrestler in the company with whom management would do nothing worthwhile.

English's run as a heel has not started yet, but going by the way Vince book such wrestlers, he would play a coward heel for a while and then get lost in the mix.

Unless WWE decides to book him with someone else like they did with Rusev, his career will only go downhill from here.

#2 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is the SmackDown Live Women's champion

Despite turning heel against Charlotte Flair in the ongoing feud between them, the crowd continues to cheer Becky Lynch instead of Charlotte. This proves how over she is right now among the fan. Becky is a natural babyface.

In the last few months, she has redefined herself as a wrestler and everyone wants to see her achieve ultimate glory. She had played babyface since the beginning of her career in WWE and she is good at that.

In my opinion, when she is a heel, we do not get that vibe which we get from a good heel. I don't think that even she is comfortable playing that character. Even though it has not affected her in-ring performance, she was much better as a babyface.

#1 Braun Strowman

E
Monsters among heels

To get fans to cheer Roman Reigns, Vince decided to turn Braun Strowman heel, which was definitely not a good idea. Strowman was the MVP of Raw. He was loved by all the wrestling fans alike.

You know you are in for something unusual the moment The Monster Among Men's music hits. I have not heard anyone saying that they do not enjoy when Strowman comes out to squash the life out of his competitor.

Even when he was a babyface, he was sort of a bully, but still, fans would love him. Now, by turning him heel, they compromised his monstrous character.

He all of a sudden needs support from other guys despite the fact that him being the lone wolf was his biggest unique selling proposition. He is still the same bully but somehow it feels different.
