The WWE has an amazing number of talented wrestlers but not all of them are being used properly. There are plenty of wrestlers on the roster that could turn heel. It's either because someone is naturally better at being a bad guy or they need it to save their careers.
Shawn Michaels' heel turn on Marty Jannetty stands out as one of the best-executed turns of all time and helped launch one of the most successful careers in WWE history.
On Saturday's Super Show-Down event and the subsequent Raw, we have seen The Undertaker, Kane, The Bella Twins, and Bobby Lashley all turn heel. From the list at least four out of five will come as something of surprise to the WWE audience.
Here are 5 WWE wrestlers that need to turn heel now
#5 Asuka
NXT has produced some great wrestlers only for them to win on the main roster. Case in point: Asuka, a wrestler who was a megastar before she even entered the WWE and who was given a monster push in NXT holding the NXT Women's Championship for a record length until an injury forced her to forfeit the title.
Sadly her main roster push was mishandled, first with Asuka losing to Charlotte at WrestleMania 34 then having to put over Carmella. Like many of the wrestlers on this list her character has been harmed by bad booking but there's still time to save her.
She would function well as a heel and the women's roster needs a strong hewl so why not do the obvious? While we can only hope the WWE won't play her off as a foreign menace she needs to turn heel one way or another. Asuka possesses the technical skills that would make her an exotic and formidable opponent for the women's roster on Smackdown or Raw.
#4 Bobby Roode
Fans familiar with Bobby Roode's TNA run and NXT appearances were somewhat surprised to see him play a babyface when he graduated to Smackdown Live. Granted, his glorious bit and memes were funny for a while, but it's time to transform Roode into the cocky heel he placed so well.
The WWE needs an arrogant heel and Roode could play a wealthy character similar to the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase or JBL. Roode hasn't done much since dropping the United States Championship and the WWE knows what he brings as a heel.
Raw has too many heels perhaps, but it's certainly lacking a number of excellent heels and Roode can fill his role well.
#3 Bayley
Bayley's act has been very stale, but there is no doubt she's a great worker and has considerable charisma.
Her current booking has her looking like a loser. Her kendo stick match against Alexa Bliss at last year's Extreme Rules portrayed her as someone who lacked the killer instinct necessary for professional wrestling.
One of the things that seems to be keeping the WWE from turning the Huggable One heel is her large standing with women and girls. If Bayley is bringing in good merchandise sales for the WWE, they may keep her as a face.
However a heel turn could do remarkable things for her career. The WWE could portray her as a goofy heel who doesn't realize the fans are booing her, or the WWE could do a 180 turn with her and transform into a dark evil character .
#2 Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is so much better as a heel and many fans are still scratching their heads wondering why WWE turned Braun Strowman heel when a Shield heel turn could have been so much better and unexpected.
Reigns might never gonna get over as a babyface, even as a member of the Shield. Sadly any pop Reigns gets from being in the shield is going to be short-lived, and he'll hurt Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins because fans will grow tired of anyone associating themselves with Reigns.
As much as we want Reigns to turn heel, it seems the WWE is goingto stick to their guns. So while a heel turn is desperately needed, it's unlikely to happen.
#1 Charlotte
There's no question Charlotte can play a babyface well, but just like Papa Flair, she works better as a heel. In this case Charlotte was put in an awkward situation by the WWE having Becky Lynch turn on her.
Yes, the turn was unexpected, but I felt it didn't make much sense, and it would have worked much better if Charlotte had turned after being shown as taking advantage of her friendship with Becky Lynch. With supposedly long-term plans for Charlotte to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35, it makes sense for a heel Charlotte to face babyface Ronda.
The WWE has plenty of time to fix this but a last-minute heel turn might not be the best way to pursue things next year at WrestleMania
