The Miz and Nia Jax may never turn face in WWE again.

Some WWE Superstars are simply born to be bad and are very good at it. No matter how many times they attempt success as a face, they revert to becoming a heel.

As a result of this, a few of them might never go back to trying to elicit a positive reaction from the fans. They are at their best as villains, ranging from cowardly figures who thrive on heat to menacing monsters who destroy the fans' favorites.

These superstars are doing well in their roles as heels and are unlikely to change characters, based on a variety of factors. Whether a couple of them flopped as babyfaces or their characters just don't fit that role anymore, it would be a major surprise if any of these five end up becoming good guys in WWE.

Which WWE Superstars do you think will never turn babyface again? Let us know in the comments below.


#5 Karrion Kross - WWE RAW's latest debutant

He may have encountered a difficult start to his WWE main roster career, but Karrion Kross is still salvageable. He would need to revert to his presentation on NXT, but a babyface turn will never be an answer.

If Kross was to ever be a successful babyface in the promotion, there would have been some more emotion in his current entrance. Instead, it feels a bit soulless. His menacing look also prevents a potential face turn to ever work.

Scarlett would add a lot to Kross and his act, further enhancing him as a dangerous savage. That is where his strength lies in the ring. The current NXT Champion is a dominant killer, who destroys everybody's favorites with menacing ease. He could still be a potential force to be reckoned with on RAW.

While most of the others on this list could have mild success as WWE babyfaces, that would not be the case with Karrion Kross. The reactions to him on NXT have largely been due to his opponents, with Samoa Joe being the latest example.

#4 Former WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax

Nia Jax has turned face in WWE once before. It came in 2018, as the result of a bullying angle involving Alexa Bliss. Jax had been fat-shamed by the five-time WWE Women's Champion and delivered a massive beating on her at WrestleMania 34. She was great in that role.

However, over the next year, The Irresistible Force ended up becoming quite the bully herself. She turned heel and formed a dominant tag team with Tamina, eradicating the circumstances that led to her babyface turn earlier.

Jax would double down on her new heel role after accidentally concussing Becky Lynch less than a week before her big match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018. She has remained a dominant presence in WWE, with her most dastardly act coming at the expense of poor Lana.

Also, Nia Jax's recent run has hardly set the world on fire. She was used as a comedy prop on multiple occasions, while fans have been clamoring for Shayna Baszler to cut ties with her. If any one of them has to be the babyface following their inevitable break up, it would be The Queen of Spades.

#3 WWE Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews

Before 2021, Apollo Crews spent the entirety of his WWE career as a babyface. He would constantly smile, but barely had any character development to complement his incredible in-ring skills.

While a run as United States Champion improved his stock last year, Crews truly became a force in the company when he turned heel at the expense of Big E. Since then, he has been vicious and unapologetic in his approach, going back to his Nigerian roots to cultivate his new identity.

Crews has been successful as a heel so far. He won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 37, while gaining a muscle in the form of Commander Azeez. Even when he drops the Nigerian gimmick, expect him to remain a heel in WWE.

Fans were not entirely behind Apollo Crews during his babyface run, which might not lead to an overwhelming desire to see him return as one. He has found his spot as a solid bad guy on SmackDown and could explore other options as a heel.

What if MVP recruited Crews and Azeez into a new-look Hurt Business after the 2021 Draft?

#2 Recent WWE returnee Eva Marie

Easily one of WWE's best heels in terms of getting a negative reaction, Eva Marie has remained an unlikable figure since her return a couple of months ago.

She thrives in her current role, in which she is hogging the spotlight from her "protégé" Piper Niven, known as Doudrop. Her impending babyface turn at the expense of Marie would be one of the better moments on RAW all year.

The face of the Evalution isn't the greatest in the ring, which has been the prime factor behind fans hating her during her initial run in the mid-2010s. Marie used them to her advantage and took on Bayley in one of the most intense NXT Women's Title matches at the time, with the crowd biting for every near-fall.

WWE attempted to present her as a face in 2016, but it flopped spectacularly. Eva Marie was viciously booed when joining the babyface side of a 10-woman Tag Team Match for WrestleMania 32. So, with her immense heat with the fans in mind, WWE may rather keep her a heel for the entirety of her current run with the company.

#1 Former WWE Champion The Miz

The Miz has accomplished a lot in WWE. He has won countless titles, including a double Grand Slam. The A-Lister carved out a Hall of Fame-level career, through his immense charisma as a heel. He is one of the greatest superstars to ever garner heel heat from the fans.

However, that brilliance does not translate over when he is a babyface. The Miz has had two year-long spells as a good guy in the company. Neither run worked well, with a heel turn being necessary on both occasions.

He was tipped to succeed as a hero, particularly during his second shot at doing so in 2019. WWE fans respected him for being an excellent heel, while he himself became a more likable figure. However, his babyface run was doomed following a defeat to Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 35.

Since then, it has been clear how much more comfortable The Miz is as a villain. Whether he remains on the goofy side or becomes a more serious player, The Awesome One must stay heel until the end of his WWE career.

Even his Hall of Fame speech should ideally be a heel promo. Wouldn't that be quite something?
