10 WWE Superstars That Should NEVER Turn Heel

Keith Lee didn't become one of the biggest babyfaces in the entire company over one weekend in November 2018 by being easy to dislike, not least when half his arsenal seems calibrated to captivate the company's biggest crowds.

Facing off with Roman Reigns in the closing moments of an improbably excellent Raw Vs SmackDown Vs NXT 15-man Survivor Series match was presumably the moment Vince McMahon saw what many others had done years ago - Lee is anything and everything to any and every fan. This includes potentially being a b*stard of course, but why would WWE waste moments when there's still so many to make?

Lee pouncing Adam Cole into the fifth row of Full Sail University would have been wrestling's meme of 2019 had it not been for just a little bit of the bubbly, and this feat of physicality is far from an isolated incident. Lee's big battles are littered with these, along with a host of spots asking for his own body to move in ways a frame of its size really shouldn't.

He's exactly as limitless as his persona suggests - a heel turn would handcuff the heights to which he could soar.
