WWE is the biggest company in professional wrestling today. The current WWE roster is the best in the world on any promotion. Mostly underused, WWE still consists of the most talented roster. However, WWE has lost most their interest in heels.
WWE has been a company which focuses on a few babyfaces and a lot of heels. These heels only work for one thing: getting the WWE's top stars over and popular with the fans. However, due to this, most of the best heels on the roster are buried or sidelined. That's why the fans love to cheer the heels and boo most of the babyfaces.
However, there are a few heels that have proved their work too good that they just work great even in this bad era. Here are five heels that have defined WWE in 2018:
#5. The Miz
The Miz has been a great WWE heel for years. However, considering his performance as a heel in years, it hasn't been that great of his heel work this year. Anyway, he makes it to the list.
The Miz has been performing well recently. From being the Intercontinental Champion by defeating Roman Reigns to defeating Daniel Bryan in an eight-years-in-the-making match, The Miz has done it all this year. He was even in one of the best matches of this year with Seth Rollins at Backlash.
With his heel promos and heel antics being at level best, The Miz has proved to be a World Champion-caliber heel. However, that might not be far away as he might defeat Daniel Bryan at Super Show Down and win the WWE Championship from AJ Styles.
The fans won't have any problem seeing him as the WWE Champion much like the last time.
#4. Kevin Owens
This far, 2018 has been the worst year for Kevin Owens. However, with his mic skills and wrestling abilities, he is still able to be one of the best heels of 2018.
What to say about Kevin Owens, he simply is a star. After losing most of the matches of 2018, Kevin Owens still has been able to entertain us every week he shows up on Raw. From being the best heel on SmackDown to being the best heel on Raw, Kevin Owens has done it all.
He can simply make a crowd cheering him, boo in seconds. He is that good on the mic. He can even give us the best matches on Raw, just see his match with Seth Rollins this month (before he quit Raw). He is possibly the best wrestler on the Raw roster with the best mic skills in all of WWE.
With that being said, I would definitely love to see him back as the Universal Champion. After all, we are back with the 'Fight Owens Fight', that is the Kevin Owens we all love to hate.
#3. Becky Lynch
Is there any heel better than Becky Lynch in the women's division? I can't think of any other heel better than her on the entire roster.
Becky Lynch has truly changed the landscape of SmackDown Women's division since turning heel the last month. Her heel turn has truly helped in making the lackluster division become one of the best things in WWE today.
Since her heel turn, she has been the best thing WWE has ever created. Did anyone think that a lovable babyface would become an Austin-like heel? She has been on fire since then and cutting the best promos of her life.
She was also able to become SmackDown Women's Champion after two years. I would love her staying heel for the rest of her career with the fans behind her.
#2. Samoa Joe
Is there any heel better than Samoa Joe on the main roster?
Samoa Joe is the third best wrestler on SmackDown (only after AJ Styles and Andrade 'Cien' Almas) and can do anything a cruiserweight can do. He has been getting under the skin of AJ Styles with the best promos of 2018 like 'Night Night' and 'O Wendy!'. Joe is the best heel on the main roster. He can create great matches every time he wrestles, he can put up one of the best promos every week and most of all can put anyone to sleep.
I can't think of any other wrestler to dethrone Styles as WWE Champion. After all, he would be the only person cheered for that in the WWE. He simply is that good of a heel.
#1. Tommaso Ciampa
Is there any wrestler a better heel than Tommaso Ciampa?
Ciampa is not the best heel only in NXT but in all of professional wrestling right now. He can do anything a heel needs to do. He is brutal, egotistic, cocky, obnoxious and most importantly he doesn't care about anyone except for himself.
In my view, we haven't seen a heel like Tommaso Ciampa in years. Him becoming the NXT Champion was the best decision this year, as he's simply that good. He is good on the mic, in the ring and has portrayed how heartless he can be. He has even made Gargano like him.
With that said, Ciampa has been the best heel of WWE in 2018.
