#2 WWE Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair

Like her father before her, Charlotte Flair is a natural heel. She has sufficient swagger and attitude to become an antagonist in every WWE viewer's eye. Flair excels as an in-ring performer, a fact that lets her confidently proclaim in promos her ability to defeat anyone on the roster. Her in-ring skills, coupled with her 12 championship reigns, make the fans completely believe in her bold proclamations.

WWE has often tried to use Flair as a face and every time she has failed to indicate sufficient progression. As a heel champion, and a foil to the likes of Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley, this is how she helps the best babyfaces in her division perform at their peak.

#1 WWE Raw Tag Team Champion Randy Orton

Randy Orton works best when he is portraying a loathsome heel who serves punishment without concern for his opponent's life. His pandemic-era return to The Legend Killer zone is an outstanding example of his heelish tendencies, as is his work against Daniel Bryan.

Orton is currently a face on the WWE roster. His tag team with Riddle is popular, and fans eat up every antic of this oddball duo. However, every WWE fan believes that it is only a matter of time before Orton attacks Riddle and turns heel. Orton has done the same countless times before and he still manages to capture the attention of viewers with every assault.
