10 WWE Heels That Are Real Life Babyfaces

Which WWE heels live a babyface life away from the ring?

As much as we'd like to imagine Bray Wyatt's "Fiend" terrorising neighbourhoods or Randy Orton RKO'ing annoying cashiers in a supermarket in real life, most WWE heels tend to drop their characters the minute they step out of an arena in this day and age.

For a time, this dropping of the act was seen as a monumental no-no in the world of professional wrestling, with some baddies going to unbelievable extremes to ensure people still believed in their characters as authentic personalities once the cameras stopped rolling. But, in an era now rife with reality TV shows, behind-the-scenes documentaries and social media posts galore, breaking "kayfabe" has become about as commonplace as a super kick to the jaw.

This isn't necessarily an entirely awful thing, though, as fans are now given a chance to get to know the genuine, and sometimes rather lovely, folks behind the on-screen villains they see on WWE's weekly in-ring shows. Whether they were helping out their colleagues backstage, making their fans' wishes come true or just being a general hero of a human being, this bunch of WWE bad guys and gals couldn't help but play the babyface in their real lives.

Though he can regularly be found acting like an obnoxious prick whenever he pops on WWE television at this moment in time, it is worth remembering that Dolph Ziggler is actually a rather swell guy away from the heelish character he's currently playing.

If you need an example of the lighter side of Nic Nemeth, then look no further than his recent decision to send fellow wrestler Mad Kurt an incredibly generous fee for a personalised video on his Cameo. Coughing up a whopping $1,001 for this personalised clip from Kurt after the wrestler had reached out to Nemeth in response to a tweet from the WWE star asking for links to "small businesses that could use some help today", this move made Kurt the wrestler with the most expensive cameo ever. Take that "Deadman".

Ziggler has also been buying large amounts of other wrestlers' merchandise online as a way of helping out his fellow performers in these trying times, and been reminding fans to support their favourite stars by purchasing their own t-shirts and other items from places like Pro Wrestling Tees.

He's here to show the world...he's not such a bad guy after all.
