3 heels with massive fan support heading into Stomping Grounds

WWE has tried its best to switch their superstars from heels to faces to set up the perfect matches between their talents and give the audiences the best show possible. They urge their stars to change faces from time-to-time so that there is some variety in the product that they present and the storylines don’t become stale.

Despite their best efforts, the WWE Universe does not always respond positively to the plans that their writers have. Many times, the fans cheer for the heels, while they boo the babyfaces. The acceptance of an audience always plays a major part in the success of any storyline.

Keeping that in mind, there are a lot of rivalries going on at present and more top-notch matches to follow at Stomping Grounds. However, here are three heels who have massive fan support and will be cheered despite the storylines that they are part of.

#3 Samoa Joe

Fans are expecting Joe to bring some prestige back to US Title

The charisma and mic skills that Joe has showcased since his move to the main-roster have drawn the audiences to him. He hasn’t been given the push that he deserves, yet has done justice to the roles that he has been asked to play. He has been playing the perfect heel and has gone up against some of the best baby-faces from the company.

Though he hasn’t been awarded titles until recently when he won the US Championship, he has attracted the audiences to his character and the fans really like him. The WWE Universe has always been on his side and wants him to put in more good promos that can really get them charged and excited to see the matches.

With that being said, when he faces off against Ricochet at Stomping Grounds, he will get the same support as he has been getting in recent times. Though he is a major heel in the company, the crowds don’t really boo him and enjoy both his mic and wrestling skills.

#2 Daniel Bryan and Rowan

Daniel Bryan is one of the top stars in WWE at present

Though the WWE writers tried to end the “Yes Movement” with Daniel Bryan’s change of character, the WWE fans have other ideas. They have not really accepted The Planet’s Champion as a heel and have now shown their backing for The Planets Tag Team Champs. This goes to show that they still like Bryan and Rowan and will cheer them on in their match against Heavy Machinery at Stomping Grounds.

Bryan has always been a hardworking performer for the company and since his return to the company, has always been given the main-event slot from the time-to-time. He has been one of the top features on SmackDown Live and has made a few key appearances on Monday Night Raw too. The fans still love him and are keen to back him even though he is a heel, and it could be once again visible in their upcoming match.

#1 Drew McIntyre

Fans have been supporting his ruthless nature ever since his main roster call-up

The Scottish Psychopath has really revived his career in the WWE since his return to the company. During his first stint with them, he failed to make a major impact and his struggles were quite evident. However, since his return this time around, he has looked a completely changed man.

He has the aura of a future champion and though he has “heel” written all over him, the fans don’t seem to care about it. They have been cheering him and supporting his ruthless nature, which has brought new life to the company. His matches with some of the faces have been really good and he has shown up to work and put in hard shifts, week-in, and week out.

This is something that the fans respect and so they refuse to boo Drew McIntyre, though he is working with the likes of Shane McMahon and taking down the faces of the company. His athletic ability and fierce nature make him a threat to any superstar and he does not back down from a fight, making him an odds on favorite heading into battle.

He has won over the fans to such a great extent that despite a few losses here and there, that the writers have added to his storylines, the WWE Universe just does not mind and continue to support him. Hopefully, he wins some titles soon too.
