7 WWE Stars Who Can Never Be Babyface Again

No turning back.

WWE like to flip characters between babyface and heel often.

It makes sense sometimes. Most company stars appear on programming 52 weeks of the year, and they're hardly the most layered of personalities that maintain permanent freshness with the audience. By the second or third month of their run as a good guy or bad, the vibrancy begins to fade and wrestlers start to show themselves as one dimensional gimmicks who bore the pants off everyone.

In other words, they and the writers run out of new material and decide to press the panic button, change their alignment and start again as if nothing happened. Take someone like Big Show as a great example; the big man has witnessed more turns than the average roundabout, and fans definitely greet every latter day switch with yawns.

Now he's a legendary part-timer, Show should never turn again. The same general rule could be used for these guys, although they're camping out on the other side of the fence. Everyone on this list currently works as a heel, and they've got their own reasons for why they can't become credible goodies again.

There's no turning back...
