5 Current WWE Superstars who may never turn heel 

Faces and heels have laid the foundations of the wrestling world for decades, any wrestler who has made a name for themselves in the business over the past century can be defined as a face or a heel. Ric Flair was the dirtiest player in the game and worked better as a heel throughout his career. That being said, John Cena was never a heel in his lengthy career, aside from when he was first getting acquainted in WWE.

Some Superstars can go from face to heel seamlessly much like The Miz, whilst others are only destined to be one character in their entire career.

It all depends on the audience's response to the character and whether or not they can change the gimmick to suit face or heel. The following list of Superstars all work better as a face and it's likely that the company may never turn them heel.

#5 Rey Mysterio

Much like John Cena, Rey Mysterio has never actually been a heel in his lengthy WWE career. The Master of the 619 has been so popular with the WWE Universe and so relatable as the smallest man in the fight that he would never be able to transform himself into a believable heel.

At present, Mysterio is in a feud with The Monday Night Messiah Seth Rollins and even though the former World Champion just announced the stipulation for their match at Extreme Rules as "An eye for an eye", he's still seen as the underdog.

Rey Mysterio has made a lot of money for WWE in merchandise revenue over the years which could be why the company has never opted to turn him heel and why he will never be a heel in the few years he has left.

#4 The Street Profits

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were only promoted to WWE's main roster last year but they have become a popular team in a short amount of time. Their catchy entrance music and dance to the ring wouldn't fit in with a heel persona and the two men themselves pull off their personalities as faces seamlessly.

Ford and Dawkins were once the hosts of Monday Night RAW where they were able to show off how well they can cut promos and it appeared that the two men were just portraying themselves in a lot of the skits that aired.

Given the feuds that they have been put on in recent years and the fact that Angel Garza and Andrade are the main heels in the Tag Team Division at present, it's hard to see WWE ever wanting to turn The Street Profits' persona.

The only way a heel turn would work for these two stars is if they decided to go their separate ways, like many other teams in WWE, have before them.

#3 R-Truth

Over the past few years, R-Truth has portrayed a character on WWE TV that has been there for some of the comedy relief moments. Truth memorably came into the Royal Rumble match with a ladder and was even able to get Brock Lesnar to crack a smile when he broke character on RAW earlier this year.

WWE has pushed Truth into the WWE 24/7 Championship picture over the past few years, a title that he has held a record 37 times.

The only real reason that there are currently eyes on WWE's 24/7 Championship picture is because R-Truth has been able to deliver some hilarious segments that have made it worth tuning in.

This wouldn't be possible if Truth was a heel since the segments would make much less sense, whilst he's the Champion looking over his shoulder. There are many more ideas and options for the company to get him over than there would be if he was a heel, much like Akira Tozawa looking to reclaim the Championship from the current holder.

#2 Edge

Edge made an emotional return to the ring back in January at the annual Royal Rumble which was the first appearance that The Rated-R Superstar had made in a WWE ring for almost a decade.

Edge was told back in 2011 that he had to retire from the business because he had cervical spinal stenosis. Over the past nine years, the former 11-time Champion has managed to rest his neck enough that his doctors could clear him to make a shock return.

Edge was once seen as one of the greatest heels in WWE history given his Rated-R Superstar persona but the story that has led to his WWE return could mean that he may never be able to be the heel again.

The former Champion was recently in a feud with Randy Orton where he was able to play a believable underdog. Given the depth of the WWE roster at present and the fact that he's been away from the business for so long, it could be hard for Edge to transform back into The Rated-R Superstar for the current generation.

#1 Roman Reigns

Many fans have been waiting for WWE to turn Roman Reigns heel, even though technically The Big Dog was a bad guy when he made his main roster debut alongside The Shield back in 2012.

Reigns has become the star that WWE has backed for the push to the top, much like John Cena before him, huge things were expected of Roman Reigns and it's hard to argue that he hasn't delivered.

Reigns would be the Universal Champion at present if COVID-19 hadn't forced plans to change and he would have defeated Goldberg in order to win the title, completing his babyface climb once again.

Even after defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania, Reigns was not considered to be a heel, despite being booed out of buildings all around the world and still continued to portray a face character. This shows that WWE has no plans to change Reigns' character any time soon.

When Reigns makes his return, it will be interesting to see who the Universal Champion is and if he is able to reclaim his title.
