4 WWE Superstars who should turn babyface in 2019

We are way past the era of full-blown babyfaces and heels like Hulk Hogan and Ted Dibiase. The Attitude Era changed the landscape of professional wrestling and gave us anti-heroes like Stone Cold Steve Austin.

All these years later, WWE still uses the classic storyline of a hated heel turning babyface or vice versa. It has always been an effective way to garner crowd interest and will continue to do so for years to come. Let's look at five WWE superstars who have run their course as a heel and need to turn babyface in 2019.

#4 Mandy Rose

Mandy would work much better as a babyface

The Golden Goddess has always been a crowd favourite, despite being part of a heel tag team. Recently, she faced The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, at WWE Fastlane. Asuka managed to retain the SmackDown Women's title after an accidental interference from Sonya distracted Mandy Rose.

On this past week's SmackDown, Rose returned the favour by doing the exact same thing to her partner during her match with Asuka.

This seems to be the perfect time to finally turn Mandy Rose into a babyface. It's clear as day that the crowd won't hate her, no matter what.

#3 Batista

The Animal needs to turn face for this match to happen

The WWE Universe has been clamouring for a Batista vs Brock Lesnar match since a long time. The Animal will be facing Triple H at the grandest stage of them all. Let The Game be victorious at Mania. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Batista comes out and addresses the crowd. He states that he has realized that he was wrong all along and made the biggest mistake of his life by attacking a 70-year old man, who happens to be his friend.

Batista, now a babyface, sets his sights on The Beast. Several months worth of storylines could lead to a blockbuster match at Summerslam 2019, with the match being billed as The Beast vs The Animal. Batista defeats Brock Lesnar to finally get a proper sendoff with the fans cheering for The Animal.

This is one of those rare dream matches we have never seen but WWE is in a position to make it happen. Hopefully, a Batista face turn might lead to this much-anticipated match at a future PPV.

#2 Bobby Lashley

Lashley's heel turn isn't working well

The Almighty Bobby Lashley returned to WWE as a babyface. It didn't last long though, as the company turned him into a bubbly, cheerful guy who never stopped smiling.

Lashley was soon turned heel but it seems that his heel turn has bombed even more than his face run. The only option left for the company is to release him, but it wouldn't hurt to try another babyface run with Lashley before his eventual release.

Just like Batista vs Brock Lesnar, fans have been wanting to see Lashley take on The Beast ever since he returned back to the company.

A babyface Lashley could work a program with Lesnar after WrestleMania 35. Both the superstars have MMA backgrounds and this factor alone makes this match a huge draw. Maybe this rivalry could succeed in making Lashley a mainstay on the top of the Raw roster for a while.

#1 Daniel Bryan

A move to r=Raw could mean a face turn for Bryan

Although The Planet's champion gimmick is turning out to be one of the best characters in recent memory, Bryan might need to turn babyface again in case he is drafted to Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania. The red brand is already chalk filled with dastardly heels like McIntyre, Corbin and Lashley. A small sized wrestler acting like a heel on Raw would probably won't work.

Instead, Bryan can have fresh underdog storylines against the likes of McIntyre and Lashley. He is one of those rare Superstars who is capable of having a good match, no matter how bad is the opponent. Bryan would work much better as a babyface on the Raw roster, as there's no dearth of opponents for him up there.

If he doesn't get drafted to Raw during the Superstar Shakeup, he could continue being a heel and preach the message of saving the planet to the babyfaces on the blue brand.
