Professional wrestling is a mixture of heel and babyface wrestlers. Both types of wrestlers are equally important as each other. WWE has a fantastic roster filled with many talented wrestlers from all around the globe and this is what makes them unique from other wrestling promotions.
There was a time when only babyfaces were getting a positive reaction from the crowd whereas the heels were getting the reaction they worked for. Nowadays, things have changed, and there is no face-heel thing among the fans.
They boo whoever they want and cheer the Superstar they like. The same happened with Roman Reigns who was a face but the crowd refused to cheer for him.
This year as well many heel and face turns took place, and some of them were shocking too. Some babyfaces in the company turned into heels whereas some bad guys are now good guys.
Many babyface wrestlers were once a heel in the company. Here we will take a look at such four superstars.
#4 John Cena
The 16-time WWE champion is currently enjoying his success in Hollywood like fellow WWE Superstar, The Rock. Over the years, Cena has transitioned himself into a Hollywood superstar from the face of the WWE.
Many of his WWE fans want him to turn heel because they haven’t seen his rowdy side ever. However, if you have been following the WWE for more than a decade, then you must be aware of Cena’s Doctor Of Thuganomics gimmick.
This gimmick was initially a heel character where Cena would insult the other person through his rap. However, things started changing as the fans were completely into his rap. WWE quickly realized this and turned him into a face wrestler.
From that time, Cena managed to become one of the most over WWE Superstars ever in the company. His run as a heel was the critical reason behind his success as the face of the WWE.
#3 Rusev
Rusev Day was one of the most popular gimmicks of PG Era. Rusev’s merchandise became very popular among the fans, and it was the perfect time to establish him as a top face of the company. However, the company waited for many months before turning Aiden English against him.
He then feuded with his former friend. This was the first feud of Rusev where he was the face. Since his debut in the company, he has been playing the role of heel. At first, he was unstoppable. He defeated many top superstars in the company, but after some time, he became a jobber.
Now things have changed as he is a face now and his Rusev Day gimmick is still popular among the WWE Universe. However, the only problem is the way WWE is booking him.
At WWE Crown Jewel, he faced US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura without any build up for the match. This shows us how the WWE is treating him in the company.
#2 Daniel Bryan
Bryan is currently one of the most over babyfaces in the WWE who has continued to impress the fans since his return to the ring earlier this year. Even though the storyline he was involved in so far isn’t fascinating but still, fans love him!
He has made a name for himself as a top face, but there was a time when he was also a bad guy.
In 2011, at the TLC pay-per-view, he turned against the then World Heavyweight Champion The Big Show by cashing the Money In The Bank. He later continued to become a top heel which would eventually help him to grow as the most over wrestler in the company.
After few months, he turned face against Bray Wyatt and that time, he received one of the best reactions from the crowd. From the past few years, he was on retirement due to an injury but was cleared by the WWE to wrestle this year before WrestleMania 34.
#1 Seth Rollins
After Roman Reigns' departure from the company, Rollins is now the MVP of Monday Night Raw. He had one of the best runs in the WWE as a heel and is currently running things on the brand as a face.
He turned heel in 2014 by breaking The Shield. This was one of the most shocking heel turns in the WWE which helped him grow in the company.
He later aligned himself with The Authority and was all set to win the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens, but Triple H betrayed him.
Later, Rollins feuded with Triple H, and eventually, Rollins managed to become one of the most over babyfaces in the PG Era. So far, 2018 has been the year of Monday Night Rollins, and it would be interesting to see how he would be booked now as he is feuding with Dean Ambrose.
