4 current Superstars who have never been heels on the main roster

Being a babyface in WWE requires Superstars to be either loveable personalities or those that have an anti-authority gimmick, much like Stone Cold Steve Austin or Becky Lynch.

Babyfaces get all the adulation and love, but it doesn't always make a storyline or a gimmick interesting as being a face forever in WWE could stagnate a gimmick.

Most WWE Superstars have a run as a heel and a babyface in their career, but some Superstars stay babyfaces for most of their career. Let's take a look at 4 current Superstars who have never been heels in WWE. This list includes Superstars who have never been heels on the main roster:

#4. Bayley

Bayley is one of the most popular babyfaces in WWE currently and has been a babyface for her entire WWE run in the main roster.

Bayley even knows the kind of heel she wants to be if she ever transitions to becoming one in the future in WWE. While speaking to Stone Cold Steve Austin a few years ago, Bayley revealed that she would be a heel like how Eddie Guerrero was in WWE.

"You don't get that anymore out of heels being like coming out like they're completely miserable and that makes you like... “Gah, dude, if you don't want to be here just don't come then!” That's how I felt watching him. It's like “Why are you even doing this if you don't even want to do it?”

"And then he'd get into the ring and be so nasty and just have that look of like disgust and he was too good for it all. I don't know, it was something about that, like, I always told myself too if I were to ever be heel I want to make myself so miserable because that's one of the most hateable things, I think," said Bayley, back in 2017.

If Bayley does turn heel sometime in the future, it would be quite a surprise considering she's always been a loveable babyface on WWE television.

#3. Asuka

Asuka has had a rather quiet year in WWE, despite winning the SmackDown Women's title. She had an incredible record where she was undefeated for 914 days in WWE, which was eventually broken by Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34.

She also held the NXT Women's Championship for 510 days - the longest reign for the title, and didn't lose it but had to relinquish it due to injury.

The Japanese Superstar eventually moved to the main roster in 2017, and has switched between RAW and SmackDown, and throughout her WWE run, has been a babyface.

Many of her fans feel that she has not been used properly on the main roster and not given enough time or a run with a title to show what she is really capable of.

There were rumours doing the rounds last year that WWE had cancelled plans of turning Asuka heel, which they had reportedly had discussions about. But WWE shelved the idea after Becky Lynch's successful heel turn last year and WWE focussed all their energies on Lynch instead of Asuka, when both Lynch and Asuka were on SmackDown Live.

Asuka is currently tag teaming with Kairi Sane, and it remains to be seen if the Asuka will turn heel once she becomes a singles star once again. While the Empress of Tomorrow has been a heel during her time in NXT, she has yet to turn on the main roster.

#2. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio is a legend in the pro wrestling business and a future WWE Hall of Famer, and the 21st Grand Slam Champion did so as a babyface throughout his long career.

Mysterio first joined WWE in 2002, winning several titles along the way, including the WWE Championship, becoming one of the most-loved Superstars of all-time. Mysterio has never been a heel in WWE, but was briefly a heel on WCW, when he was in a faction called Filthy Animals that comprised of Mysterio, Billy Kidman, and Eddie Guerrero.

Mysterio's first run with WWE stretched from 2002 to 2015, following which he left the company to a wrestler at AAA, Lucha Underground, and NJPW, as well as other promotions, before returning to the WWE in 2018.

He won the United States title earlier this year, becoming a Grand Slam Champion. Mysterio could perhaps be one of the few Superstars who could end his career without ever been a heel in WWE television.

Recently, Mysterio explained why it is difficult for heels to get heat these days: "It is [impossible for heels to get real heat nowadays] because, for the fans, if you have a rich history on your way to becoming one of the top heels, all-of-a-sudden, heels are loved. Why? Because you worked hard to obtain your spot."

#1. Finn Balor

Finn Balor, like Rey Mysterio, is a very popular figure among the WWE Universe, and has been a babyface in his entire WWE run. The former Universal and Intercontinental Champion was not always a babyface as he was a heel in NJPW as the leader of the Bullet Club.

But over on WWE, he has been a babyface, even when he teamed with former Bullet Club members Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who are, incidentally, with another former Bullet Club leader AJ Styles. Styles, Anderson and Gallows recently turned heel and call themselves The OC, aka Original Club.

Balor explained the differences between his NJPW run and WWE run, and revealed what separated the Balor Club and Bullet Club apart. “Yeah, I feel the club for me has really evolved since what it was in Japan. You know Bullet Club came from a very dark place in my personality and probably a dark time in my life where I wasn’t really happy with where I was.

"I feel like Bálor Club now has kinda gone in a separate direction, I’m trying to spread more positivity and equality for everyone. So I feel that, although we all came from the same place we’re definitely going in different directions and I’m happy with the direction I’m going in now that’s for sure," said Balor
