8 Babyfaces The WWE Universe Turned Heel

8. The New Day

After a few weeks of vignettes, The New Day finally arrived on our screens way back at the end of November 2014. Some were hoping that Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E. would return as some sort of Nation of Domination-type faction, despite how silly that would be in the modern age.

Instead, what we got was a whole lot of smiling, clapping, and positive feeling, which combined well with the mass eye-rolling from the audience. From the very beginning, the group as a happy-clappy babyface trio was dead in the water, but it took a long time for the creative team to latch onto this.

The audience rejected them immediately, and by the middle of 2015 the group had little choice but to turn heel. Since then, they've consistently been one of the most entertaining aspects of WWE TV - ironically leading back to a full-blown face realignment, which they've maintained ever since, selling pancakes and setting records along the way.
