4 Face turns that worked and 3 that didn't

Modified Nov 10, 2018 05:40 GMT

Rey Mysterio has spent his entire WWE career as a Face.

#1 John Cena (Worked)

John Cena will go down in history as one of the biggest Professional Wrestling Superstars.

The Biggest Star of last 15 years, John Cena tops this list. John Cena made his main roster debut in 2002 and quickly turned heel before the end of that year. Cena then spent nearly the entire 2003 as a heel and feuded with the likes of Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle etc. Cena's "Doctor of Thuganomics" gimmick was hugely popular with the fans.

John Cena turned face in November 2003 after he refused to join Team Lesnar at Survivor Series. After turning face, John Cena's mega push finally started and he continued to climb up the card. John Cena won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 21.

Over 15 years have passed since Cena turned face and never in those 15 years has he ever turned heel again. He became the biggest star of the current era, won 16 World Titles and became a household name. Even now that he has become a part-timer and rarely shows up, he still remains one of the top Merchandise Sellers and the most popular WWE Superstar.

Ali Siddiqui is a listicle and feature writer for Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2018. After completing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, he decided to write for Sportskeeda Wrestling after learning about it through a friend. He briefly worked for The Sportster as well.

Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.

When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
