Currently, six out of the eight main roster titles in the WWE are held by faces. Only two of the remaining titles are under the control of the heels which makes the WWE seem desperate for ratings and merchandise sales.
Three top championships of Raw are held by faces who all won their respective championships at Summerslam 2018. These include the Universal Championship, the Women’s Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship.
Along with these three titles, even the Cruiserweight Championship is held by an extremely talented babyface, Cedric Alexander. Only the Raw Tag Team titles are now held by heels Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre after they defeated the B-Team.
SmackDown has a similar story, where the top two championships are held by faces AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair. The SmackDown Tag Team Champions are also the fan-favorite The New Day. Only the United States Championship has a different dimension after begin clenched by Shinsuke Nakamura who initially turned heel in his quest for the WWE Championship.
With the Survivor Series fast approaching, the WWE Creatives might want to shake things up a little to build more excitement towards the clashes between champions of both the main brands. They would also want to do so to keep a fair balance among the championship ranks and keep the fans involved in the storylines.
Let’s look at some of the heels who deserve to become champions before the year ends.

#3 Samoa Joe
AJ Styles has held the WWE Championship for over 300 days now and is no doubt a worthy superstar. He’s done justice to the title and defended it over and over again against many superstars. However, it’s time that the superstar lets the title go.
Samoa Joe is a world-class act and the top heel on the brand. He has had many matches with Styles in the past and the two have great chemistry in the ring. With Joe winning the title, Styles can take some time off and go on a hiatus which will be shown as a part of the storyline.
Joe has the potential to become the face of the blue brand and do justice to the title. His antics will keep other faces on SmackDown wanting to get the title before Styles can return to get his revenge.
#2 The Demon King
The blue-eyed babyface is the most lovable face on the red brand. Fans cheer him on no matter he wins or loses. All that’s missing is a title which the man deserves for all the hard work he’s put in and also for being the inaugural WWE Universal Champion for a day.
Since the Universal Title picture seems a bit too overcrowded, Balor could go after the Intercontinental championship. By turning heel and bringing out The Demon within him, he could do it convincingly and get back to being an elite on Raw.
Seth Rollins doesn’t need the title much since he is back with The Shield and his popularity won’t see any dip even if he loses the title. He’ll also become the Tag Team Champion with Dean Ambrose sooner or later. Hence a heel Finn Balor could attack Rollins and take away the title for him to bring about a much-needed character change and popularity boost.
#1 Becky Lynch
Even though Becky Lynch isn’t the WWE champion, she is surely the people’s champion. The amount of cheer the Irish Lass Kicker gets is unreal and undeniable. So much so that even her character change from a babyface to a heel has done little to the support she gets from the WWE universe.
Lynch is one of the hardest workers in the WWE and deserves to have the title around her waist. She’s already advertised for title matches against Charlotte at Hell in a Cell and then again at the Super Show-Down.
With Raw having a face as their champion in the way of Ronda Rousey, a heel Women’s Champion on SmackDown would give the creatives more to work with heading into Survivor series in November.
Who do you think deserves a title run on Raw and Smackdown?
