10 Stupidest Reasons WWE Wrestlers Turned Babyface

3. Kane (Lita's Miscarriage)

If you've ever wanted pro wrestling to remind you of those dodgy Channel 5 soap operas your nan would watch on Sunday mornings, then Lita's 2004 miscarriage angle was the story for you. It featured some of the worst performances ever, and that's saying something. The whole escapade is also here because it made zero sense.

Kane forced Lita to have his baby against her will, then married her after beating Matt Hardy at SummerSlam. As if all those shenanigans weren't enough, the 'Big Red Berk' (not his real nickname, sadly) turned babyface following an altercation with Gene Snitsky and a steel chair. The heel cracked Kane in the back, he fell on Lita and... she lost the baby.

Uplifting sports entertainment 101.

This somehow turned Kane face and he tried to avenge his lost child by taking down Snitsky. Fans with attention spans longer than five minutes struggled to comprehend how a monster who had forced himself on Lita and cackled like a demon after impregnating her was now good.
