8 Biggest Turncoats In WWE History

8. Edge

Edge is low on this list because despite turning face and heel many times in his career, he made most of his impact during his heel run from 2004 to 2009, becoming both the 'Rated-R Superstar' and the 'Ultimate Opportunist', racking up several world titles in the process. Still, the guy has had a hard time deciding if he’s a baddie or not. Debuting in 1998 as an edgy (haha, get it) loner, Mrs. Copeland’s baby boy was portrayed as a face, teaming with mega faces such as Sable. Soon, however, The Brood came to television, and recruited Edge as part of their evil vampire cult, with Edge tagging with Christian.

Once that dissolved, Edge and Christian spent a cup of coffee as just good-looking young guys before finding their characters as annoying, offensive dorks. However, when they split as a team in 2001, Edge was just a whitemeat babyface for a number of years before finally becoming the horrible, calculating knob we all love.

When he was injured in 2009 and came back as a shock Royal Rumble winner in 2010, fans were willing to accept Edge as a face. He ended up triumphant in his feud with Chris Jericho, but upon being drafted to RAW, Edge became a baddie again, attacking his friend Christian. But months later, he was turned face by attacking the anonymous RAW GM (i.e. smashing a computer) and being traded to SmackDown, and he remained a face until his retirement, even siding with Christian once again.
