7 WWE Stars Who Should NEVER Turn Babyface Again

1. Stephanie McMahon

It's barf-worthy when Stephanie McMahon is written to act like she has the best interests of wrestling fans at heart. Whether or not that's true of the woman behind the scenes, it doesn't go with how she's been presented as a TV character since forever.

Steph, as much as some hardcore fans dislike it, is one of the absolute best promos in WWE when she's in full-flight as a ball-cutting put-down machine who is only too happy to remind everyone that her father is Vincent Kennedy McMahon. That, and her shrill voice, has always been her core asset as a performer.

The days when Stephanie could appear as a babyface GM (like he did on SmackDown between 2002-2003) are long gone. People know too much about her corporate influence on WWE backstage to believe she's all nicey-nice, and it's much more apt for a McMahon once called the 'Billion Dollar Princess' to act like a cold-hearted witch who enjoys undermining her employees.

It'd be a mistake to ever try and make the Raw Commissioner sympathetic or sweet-natured again.
