10 WWE Superstars That Should NEVER Turn Heel
4. Bayley
Never again, anyway.
Your writer is a very big fan of Bayley, having seen the very beginnings of the character's formation in NXT, the landscape-shifting encounters she had on the brand with her Four Horseman comrades and many others and the tangible shift in interest she tapped into amongst a section of the fanbase underserved by main roster babyfaces that were wholly unbelievable superheroes.
A 2016 call-up, with limited exceptions, began the steady decline of everything she'd built. Her 2019 heel turn was powerful in execution but also represented the peak - there was a shared catharsis (and devastation) at the sight of her taking an axe to her old self, but the character has felt unfinished beyond a haircut and gear change ever since.
There are few with in-ring chops as polished as SmackDown Women's Champion and thus not that many as worthy to hold the belt, but there are plenty far greater at gathering heat than the former 'Hugger'. In the meantime, though it may yet seem a long way off, the machine that broke her owes a wronged performer a second chance and heroic superstardom.
