6. Heel Turn For Sheamus

Oh please, definitely this! Within six month of bursting onto the WWE scene in 2009, Sheamus had won the WWE Championship off John Cena. That push was extraordinary and perhaps too quick, but it shows how strong his heel character was. He stayed that way until mid-2011 and hasn€™t gone back since, despite rapidly losing steam as a believable main eventer. WWE made his red hair marketable, give him kid-friendly catchphrases and heavily used him in their anti-bullying campaign. He sells merchandise as a babyface but he€™s stuck in a rut and, with Cena, Bryan, Reigns and Ambrose ahead of him as face, maybe the time has come to turn him heel. Will Santa return Sheamus to credibility?
