5 WWE Superstars who are great as both heels and faces

#3. Kevin Owens

Much like his best friend Sami Zayn, Owens is so good on the mic that he's easy to either root for or against in the ring. When he initially joined the WWE in NXT, he was an opportunistic heel that would turn on his own mother given the chance (he didn't actually do that). He even debuted as a face and then turned heel on the same night in NXT. Owens could easily back things up in the ring and his big debut on the main roster in WWE came against John Cena. For the majority of his run as Universal Champion, he was booked more like a cowardly heel.

Due to having superior mic skills, as well as a non-traditional look for a wrestler (not chiseled), it was also easy for the WWE Universe to get behind Owens. He's just as believable on the mic and his words rang true when he opposed Shane McMahon. How can you not root for someone that sticks up for their co-workers, and in his case the WWE roster, against the boss? The best heels are the ones that can bury people on the mic (like Owens and MJF) but the best performers do it masterfully on both sides of the aisle.

His current face run has been just as good, albeit without any title wins. Owens truly cares about the business and it shows. Just rewatch his WrestleMania 36 match with Rollins. How many people would jump 20 feet off of the sign onto the announce table? The one thing that stands out with Owens is that he is not only a student of the game, but one that truly cares about the craft. Since he's does, it's easy for him to be a great heel or a wonderful face.
