10 Times WWE Fans FORCED A Heel Turn
10. Edge (2004)
Edge's most recent attempt to turn his back on the WWE faithful was a bit of a disaster from start to finish.
Who in their right mind wanted to heckle a bloke that had somehow found a way to come back from a career-ending neck injury after nearly a decade away from in-ring competition?
This wasn't the first time The Rated R Superstar had found himself fighting against the tide somewhat, however. Almost twenty years earlier, what was shaping up to be a promising run as WWE's next up-and-coming babyface hero soon took a turn for the worst in 2004.
Not long after returning from injury that year, fans quickly realised that Edge's general hero schtick had grown a little stale. And by the time the then-Intercontinental Champion rocked up to his hometown of Toronto for SummerSlam 2004, the future world champion was actually booed out of the Air Canada Centre.
Sure enough, it wasn't too long before WWE sensed that a significant change-up was needed to salvage their blonde-haired main event project. And by the time the year was out, Edge had finally began to show flickers of the opportunist slime-ball persona that would ultimately carry him all the way to his first WWE Championship.
