Heel and Babyface. These are two personas that define a Superstar in WWE at the moment. It has been the defining factors in many storylines and blockbuster feuds we have witnessed in WWE over the years.
We have had even authority figures like Vince McMahon, Stephanie Mcmahon dawn the hat of these personas and deliver us some memorable moments. Who can forget the great feud Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin that really changed the landscape of WWE as we know it.
When it comes to the Superstars, there have been quite a few who have had tremendous success embracing both the personas. Triple H, The Rock, Trish Stratus are some of the few legends who have attained tremendous success working as a heel and face. The Big Show was one Superstar who used to switch between the two, so much so that, it was hard to determine what was his character on the main roster week in week out.
If you closely look at the crop of talent in the current roster on RAW, SmackDown Live and NXT, there are Superstars who have the potential to pull off both sides of their character with relative ease. Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn are two Superstars who in the recent months have embraced their dark side and executed some interesting moments.
So having said that, let's have a look at five Superstars in WWE at the moment, who can pull off heel and face personas with relative ease.
#5 Aleister Black
Ok, now I know people would find this as a surprise that the current NXT champion Aleister Black is on this list. The man from Amsterdam has worked most of the time as a face, but the reason why he is on the list is because of his character.
What makes me add Black to this list is the dark element present in his character which makes him perfect for taking up both the personas. The guy doesn't talk much, yet can cut some deadly promos.
He is also capable of scaring off his opponents with his unique in-ring antics and his skills on the mat are evident for everyone to see. Add to the fact that the entire WWE Universe sings his theme song every time he enters the arena, WWE certainly has a talent that can take them to new heights.
The main roster call-up for Black isn't far away and whichever brand he ends up on and whatever persona he will embrace, Superstars should be careful so that they don't fade into black!
#4 Sasha Banks
One of the hard workers in WWE at the moment, Sasha Banks was one of the talents who kickstarted the Women's Revolution and has been a pioneer of it.
And how did he make an impact on her debut? Working as a heel as a part of team B.A.D alongside Tamina and Naomi. Banks has gone on to deliver some great matches with the likes of Charlotte and Asuka and is currently in a feud with Bayley.
What makes the Boss embrace both face and heel personas is again down to the character she portrays. Banks can easily be the sweetheart of the WWE Universe and at the same time, be a trash talking arrogant Superstar who wouldn't care what the fans think of her.
It would be interesting to see what character she will embrace in her feud with Bayley in the coming months, but one thing is for certain. The Boss is a talent who is guaranteed to attain success on the main roster and who knows, soon she could be back on top of the mountain in the Women's division.
#3 Charlotte Flair
When you are the daughter of the dirtiest player in the game, you certainly have a reputation to live up to and Charlotte has easily cemented her legacy in WWE as one of the best WWE Female wrestlers of all time.
While the Queen is currently a babyface and has been in that character for a long time, Charlotte can easily switch to her heel side and flaunt with relative ease. Early on in her career, she had embraced that dark side and delivered some of the finest matches in the Woman's division with the likes of Banks and her best friend, Becky Lynch.
While the Queen has been away from the screen since Money In The Bank, everyone is awaiting her return back to the blue brand. Who knows, she could come back as a changed person and could even cost someone a title opportunity. After all, she is the one who took away her undefeated streak at WrestleMania 34.
#2 AJ Styles
There is no doubt that AJ Styles is one of the greatest in-ring talents WWE has had since the likes of the Showstopper himself, Shawn Michaels.
And much like HBK, the Phenomenal One has been both a heel and a face and with great effect. His feuds with likes of John Cena, Dean Ambrose, and Shane McMahon were brilliant and he certainly can hold himself when it comes to cutting promos as well.
As a face, the WWE Universe adores him. He has surely made the blue brand, the house that he built and delivered a classic with Nakamura at Money In The Bank.
Against any opponent, as a heel or as a face, Styles always rises to the occasion and it has always been phenomenal!
#1 Seth Rollins
Is there anyone else to take the No.1 spot other than the Architect, the Kingslayer Seth Freakin Rollins.
Being a part of the Shield executing attacks on other Superstars, then turning on his brothers for being promoted to the top and crowning himself WWE champion with what could go down as the greatest MITB briefcase cash-in at WrestleMania 31, Rollins has done it all as a heel.
Many could see glimpses of the Rated-R Superstar, Edge, in the Architect as his work as a heel was top-class.
And when he was turned into a face, there would have been a few doubts as to how he would hold his own. But he just started to burn it down every week with his performances.
He is over with the fans as the WWE Universe goes mad whenever he enters the squared circle, be it for a promo or a match. That IC title match at WrestleMania 34 kept the bar so high for the rest of the card that some of the matches just couldn't reach the expectations.
Rollins is certainly going to be one Superstar that WWE would be banking on to carry them forward and be it as a heel or as a face, the Architect is ready to burn it down!
