10 WWE Wrestlers Who Benefited Most From Turning Heel

10. R-Truth

Everyone loved R-Truth's sing-along entrance for the first 150 times, but the novelty eventually wore off, and when it did the former TNA star became another bland good guy in a WWE mid-card full of bland good guys.

Instead of accepting a tough hand, Truth used his lack of progress as a catapult, by claiming that he was the victim of a fan-led conspiracy to prevent him from seeing that his main event potential was fulfilled.

Almost instantly, he was rewarded with a place in Capitol Punishment's headline match, where he unsuccessfully challenged John Cena for the WWE Championship.

And while he never got as far as winning the belt, that brief run in 2011 still - to this day - represents the most successful one of Truth's WWE career.
