8 WWE Superstars Who Are Miscast In Their Current Roles

8. Rusev

Rusev was your typical foreign heel when he was called up to the main roster in April 2014, playing the part to perfection as he ran through the roster in the remainder of the year. It wasn't until the following year, however, that he started to incorporate some personality into his promos and it quickly became evident that he was actually hilarious.

It made sense to keep him a heel while he was with Lana, given she was desired to inspire jealousy in a certain part of the audience. The two went their separate ways upon moving over to SmackDown Live in the Superstar Shake-up, raising the question why we're supposed to hate him now when in reality he would make for an amazing babyface.

Rusev's social media and various WWE.com interviews are enough evidence that he is totally likable and has plenty to offer in a comedic role. Anything would be better than having him engage in pointless programs with John Cena and Randy Orton.

A double turn with him and Tye Dillinger was rumored after a recent live event match they had, so maybe a face stint for the Bulgarian brute isn't far off.
