7 WWE Stars Who Should NEVER Turn Babyface Again

4. Randy Orton

At his peak, Randy Orton worked as both a smug, handsome young heel who wanted to end the career of legends and as an angry, bitter b*stard who had ice in his veins. Playing heel comes naturally to Randy, and it always has. The same can't be said of his runs as hero; when asked to smile, Orton looks painfully uncomfortable.

His recent return to form opposite Jeff Hardy as a twisted psycho proved what Randy's strengths are again.

Although he's such a WWE stalwart that he's entered a unique star phase that doesn't bank on one character or another, it's still fair to suggest that Orton enjoys being heel more than baby. His snake-like mannerisms suit it, and so does his ring style. Put it this way: Randy is not a wrestler known for his heroic mid-match comebacks.

Whether he lasts another few years before calling it a day or slips neatly into working one or two matches per year for the next decade, Orton must stay heel. He's way more effective that way, doesn't need to force being nice and can help younger talent grow as a baddie.
