5 AEW Babyfaces Who Could Make Good Heels

1. AEW Star CM Punk

All Elite Wrestling Star CM Punk

CM Punk's AEW debut will go down as one of the biggest moments in wrestling. After seven long years away from the squared circle, CM Punk decided to join a roster of talents such as Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, Jon Moxley, and more.

Punk can easily be a fantastic heel as we've all seen. However, Punk's AEW debut came in his hometown of Chicago and there was no chance of him getting booed. Punk could literally come out and deliver an hour-long lesson on the anatomy of the human body and the crowd would cheer every single minute of it.

In AEW, Punk is the best babyface candidate to turn heel. His heel promos are incredible! His heelish mannerisms and heelish in-ring style is what made some young wrestlers want to be wrestlers in the first place.

Punk vs. Darby worked even though it was a babyface vs. babyface, but those matches can't be all a wrestler has in his career. At some point, Punk is going to have to become heel if AEW fans want to see a Punk vs. Jungle Boy feud.

AEW could even make Punk and Colt Cabana a team, and use their real life situation as a vehicle to get Punk to turn heel on Cabana.

Anyway, if AEW decides to do it, they'd have a star that can be both a babyface and a heel, and excel in both. It shouldn't take long before AEW fans, and maybe even Punk himself, decide it's time for another heel CM Punk pipebomb.
