Not every WWE Superstar can pull off the role of being a hero. But for those who do, it is a role that fits them perfectly. Some names are so perfectly embedded in WWE as babyfaces, that it is difficult to envision them as heels.

A few of them did use villainous runs to become bigger stars but aren't likely to go that route again, having gained immense popularity among all sections of the fanbase. Another couple of current stars haven't ever turned heel as well, which makes it an impossible prospect at this stage of their respective careers.

While a heel turn is a great way to save a dying character, these superstars don't need one at all. They are perfect in their current babyface roles. Similar to how some stars may never turn face, here are five that may never turn heel.

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


#5 WWE megastar John Cena

Having been the top guy in WWE for over a decade, John Cena remains the biggest babyface of his generation. Fans have been clamoring for him to turn heel for a long time, but that ship sailed a few years ago. It would have been an exciting prospect, particularly in 2012.

Cena gave us glimpses of what he would be like as a villain, but never fully turned during his time as a main-eventer. Now that he is a part-timer, fans have grown to appreciate his greatness.

The 16-time world champion does not show up nearly enough for a potential heel turn to work. He would need to be a regular on WWE TV for a few months if the company is to get the most out of him as a villain at this stage. As a result, Cena will likely remain a good guy until he retires.

John Cena is now one of the most beloved superstars in WWE history, with his earth-shattering return opposite Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank proving just that. He is near The Rock's level during his return in 2011, which does not bode well for anyone still hoping for Cena to turn heel in the company.

#4 Former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio has never turned heel during his WWE career, remaining a beloved hero since he arrived on the scene in 2002. His in-ring magnificence, underdog charm, and variety of masks have ensured a fruitful career as a face for the three-time WWE world champion.

The closest Mysterio has gotten to a heel turn was at the Royal Rumble in 2014, when the fans booed him simply because he wasn't Daniel Bryan. He is incredibly likable in and out of the ring, which furthers the case for him to remain a career babyface in the promotion.

As he is getting close to the end of his career, a heel turn for Mysterio would not make any sense. In fact, he may facilitate one for his son. There might be some value in Dominik Mysterio turning on his father and feuding with him, possibly for the legend's retirement angle.

There is no chance Rey Mysterio will be the one to turn heel if the father-son duo has to split. He will always remain beloved, as he became a household name through the years in WWE.

#3 The New Day - WWE's greatest ever tag team

While a heel turn could lead to interesting possibilities for The New Day in WWE, chances are they will remain babyfaces for life. The 11-time Tag Team Champions should remain connected for the rest of their careers.

There is value in real-life friendship and brotherhood in WWE. Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods must never fully split. So, as a result, a heel turn for one of them would mean a heel turn for all of them. But that isn't likely to ever be the case.

Woods may have potential as a cunning heel, but he cannot be the only New Day member to turn. Kingston - like Rey Mysterio - feels like a career babyface, not counting The New Day's heel run in 2015. Meanwhile, Big E is about to explode into a babyface megastar in WWE. He will not be turning heel any time soon.

As a result, The New Day as a unit may remain good guys until their time in the promotion is up. It is incredible how over all three of them have remained for five years as babyfaces, having been rejected by the fans before their career-saving heel turn. That is unlikely to change.

#2 WWE veteran Jeff Hardy

While not quite a career babyface, Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular babyfaces in WWE history. The Charismatic Enigma possessed an energy that barely any superstar can match. He had a connection with the fans and did some insane things for them in the ring.

Hardy has taken some unbelievable risks in Ladder and TLC matches over the years, further endearing him to the fans. A brief heel turn in early 2003 would not change that. The three-time WWE world champion was so beloved during his rise to the main event scene in 2008.

The goodwill carried over to his return in 2017. Jeff and Matt Hardy made a comeback for the ages, garnering one of the loudest pops in WrestleMania history. His redemption story is inspiring, which furthers the claim that Jeff Hardy will remain a babyface for the rest of his career.

The return of "No More Words" has reinvigorated Hardy, who still has the respect and support of the WWE fans. He was a big part of most of their childhoods, either as a young daredevil or an unlikely main event megastar. Either way, Jeff Hardy is set to remain a good guy for life.

#1 Becky Lynch - The female face of WWE

Becky Lynch is one of WWE's greatest heroes ever. This is backed up by the fact that her only "heel turn" on the main roster led to an unprecedented ascent to the top of the industry. The Man has been so beloved, as she blossomed as a character and in-ring worker over the years.

From her days as The Irish Lass Kicker all the way to her year-long RAW Women's Title reign, Lynch has never run short on fan support. Fans even cheered wildly as she decked Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2018. She was supposed to be a villain but the company could not resist the reactions for much longer.

The Man made her way into the main event of WrestleMania 35, defeating Flair and Ronda Rousey to become a double Women's Champion. Lynch would remain a popular figure, elevating her rivals throughout her title reign.

She dropped it in a heartwarming segment last May, as she announced her pregnancy. Becky Lynch is yet to return to WWE, with fans eagerly awaiting her comeback. Her overwhelming support ensures The Man would remain a babyface, while she also is the most likable female in the company.

Lynch has become a megastar through her natural charisma and as a result, is the female face of WWE. She might remain in that role until retirement.
