While The Revival may be comfortable playing heels that no one likes, there's still something to be said for over-the-top, ultra-charismatic bad guys who are impossible to truly hate. In the WWE, there's nobody who falls into the old "better than everyone else" archetype as well as Austin Aries.

Aries is a veteran of the independent scene who's done it all, and many never expected that he'd end up in WWE. Still, he's been a revelation since arriving, and his heel turn only made him better. He's always been comfortable in his performances, but now that he's on a larger stage than ever before, he's delivering the goods 100% of the time.

As for what the future holds for Aries, it's hard to say - there are those who feel he could be an expert NXT Champion, others who think he'd be great as a heel centerpiece of the cruiserweight division, and even people who think heavyweight gold on the main roster could be in his future. No matter what happens, though, fans are assured some of the best heel work in the world.
