5 superstars who need a heel turn to reach their full potential

Although there are two sides to it, heel turns often save one's career. All of a sudden, it changes one from being bland to interesting. Take Randy Orton for instance. As a babyface, he was hovering in the upper mid-card of Smackdown ever since he lost the WWE title. But when he attacked Jeff Hardy, he became "interesting." Heading into Hell in a Cell, the Hardy-Orton feud is one of the marquee feuds.

The same can be said about Sami Zayn also. He was merely existing in the roster, losing to the likes of Jinder Mahal and Mike Kanellis. Once he turned heel, he was skyrocketed to the main event and even had a marquee match at Wrestlemania 34.

However, not all superstars need to turn heel. Professional wrestling just does not work like that. But these superstars need to turn heel as soon as possible in order to reach their full potential.

#5. Bobby Lashley

It was speculated that Bobby Lashley returned to face Brock Lesnar. However, WWE dropped the ball with Bobby as soon as they made him feud with Sami Zayn and had a segment involving Bobby's "sisters." Ever since that, the Dominator has been just another guy on the roster who smiles a lot. His booking has been atrocious and since WWE has made it clear that Roman Reigns will remain the top babyface, Bobby needs to turn heel in order to reach the main event.

#4. Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks had an excellent NXT run as a heel

Sasha is undoubtedly one of the best women wrestlers WWE has to offer now, but she is often criticized for botching. However, no one seems to give her credit for having great matches with almost anyone on the roster. Bayley, Charlotte, Asuka - they all had their best matches with the boss.

She is too talented to be wasted in random tag team matches or filler segments. WWE had a golden opportunity to turn her heel and feud with Bayley leading to Wrestlemania. But they didn't. Sasha can be a worthy opponent for Ronda Rousey once her business with Alexa Bliss is finished.

#3. Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode had an excellent heel run in NXT and TNA

People are still wondering why this guy is a babyface. He has had an excellent tenure as a heel in NXT. Now, he is just another guy who does a "glorious" entrance. Bobby needs a reset butto, and he definitely needs a heel turn. The guy can cut savage promos and has the attitude to be a really good heel. WWE should pull the plug on Roode's face run.

#2. Dean Ambrose

How can you look at this guy and say he is a babyface?

Admit it; as a babyface, Dean Ambrose will always have a glass ceiling. He is one of the best brawlers in the world, but WWE does not see him as big a deal as his SHIELD brothers. After his return on the RAW before Summerslam, the fans were sure that Ambrose would turn heel, but he didn't.

Now that The SHIELD has reunited once again, he will not turn any time soon. Although he is doing good now, turning him heel on his SHIELD brothers will do Ambrose a world of good. Now, he has the looks and the attitude of a proper heel and his wrestling style was always for suited a heel gimmick.

#1. Finn Balor

The Bullet Club

WWE Creative has no idea what to do with Finn Balor. He just loses most of the time and he does not even have a proper feud. In the last 3 weeks, he lost against Braun Stroman, Baron Corbin, and Roman Reigns. It is apparent that Vince McMahon has no plans to push the original Bullet Club leader.

As a face, Finn has nothing left to do other than go for a secondary title. He is just another babyface who smiles a lot. Hopes were high for him when he won the inaugural Universal championship, but his injury has completely derailed him.

However, if he were to go to Smackdown, turn heel, and join forces with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, things would turn on its head for the Irish superstar. He could have a phenomenal feud with AJ Styles. Whether WWE would pull the trigger on this is still a big question, but in an ideal world, Finn would be leading the Club in WWE.
