5 WWE Heel Turns That Need To Happen Now
Bobby Roode as a heel = Glorious.
Note to WWE creative: if the men and women featured here don't turn heel before the summer kicks in, you're dicing with disaster. Without the menace of villainy, they'll either continue being ineffective babyfaces who are slowly-but-surely being neutered of their credibility or eventually turn into the second coming of Shinsuke Nakamura pre-turn.
Look at what a heel switch (one over a babyface fans take seriously) did for Nakamura's career. Without it, he was fading fast and quickly en route to becoming a wasted opportunity in a company that, annoyingly, had failed to establish exactly why he had come to the company in the first place. Now, bolstered by the boos of fans who adore AJ Styles, Nakamura is one of the most exciting characters around.
That magic can be replicated again with others, but it must happen soon before it's too late.
Some wrestlers suit playing heel more than they do babyface, and it's ever-so-slightly irritating that WWE don't see that. Yes, they have a lot of moving parts to deal with, but this is fantasy. They control what happens, so it's time to pull the trigger on some bad-ass heel turns that'd re-energise the roster...
