7 WWE Stars Who Can Never Be Babyface Again

It sounds weird right now, but Sasha Banks has another chance to play babyface in WWE if the writers weave some reality into the mix. Before turning, Banks can express remorse for how she acted last summer and point to the fact that she thought being controversial was the way to progress her career.

Bayley, meanwhile, is stuck.

Sasha's 'Legit Boss' character was always a bit of a bitch. Bayley wasn't. She was the 'girl next door', and the kind of pro wrassler who loved entertaining your kids or encouraging adults to shed their inhibitions and just have fun. Bayley was the female John Cena in some respects, but not anymore.

She turned her back on everything she previously stood for, and there's no going back. The side pony is gone, the wacky waving inflatable tube men have been punctured and the former hugger is a much more serious performer overall. It'd be totally stupid if she abandoned recent fan bashing and returned to acting 12 years old.

Her heel turn was a hard enough change without hitting rewind.
