10 WWE Superstars That Should NEVER Turn Heel

The long-tenured Women's division star was a heel as recently as 2018, but in light of the some of the significant events in her life since that point, a return to the dark side feels quite wasteful.

WWE went ultra-dark following Jim Neidhart's death, but somehow found a light at the end of the tunnel. Printing a picture of 'The Anvil' onto a table in order for The Riott Squad to have the most ghoulish of props was the sort of sleep deprived Vince McMahon idea that somebody probably should have stopped but nobody had the guts to...that then worked well enough to justify him spewing out a few thousand more.

Only a deep-rooted respect large swathes of the audience had for stalwart Natalya carried this over the line, in much the same way it did for mini-programmes against Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans in what turned out to be an underrated 2019 for the Hart Family Dungeon graduate. The occasional Divas Of Doom reunions with Beth Phoenix only further the sentiment too - there's neither need nor place for such a figure on the heel side of the fence.
