5 Best & 5 Worst WWE Things Of 2018

#2 (WORST): Heel Turns

I believe 2018 was a wake up call for fans like ourselves who are so easy to jump to the conclusion that for us, the only way to get out of a tricky situation is to have the wrestler turn heel. Roman Reigns not getting over? Turn him heel. Randy Orton not going anywhere? Turn him heel... and so on and so forth.

Well this year though, WWE gave us exactly what we wanted. There was a plethora of heel turns on the main roster alone this year. There are so many, I bet we'll probably miss some out here or there.

Superstars like Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Becky Lynch, Braun Strowman, Randy Orton, Nia Jax, Dana Brooke (twice), Big Show, Aiden English, The Bella Twins, and many more succumbed to their evil sides this year with the most recent being Dean Ambrose and Daniel Bryan on their respective brands, and that's not even counting Charlotte and Bayley who supposedly turned heel this year, only going back to being babyfaces the next time we saw each of them.

The point is, a heel turn should be this huge revelation that fans do not see coming or is something fans are invested in. There was practically no weight in most of these heel turns this year simply because of how frequently we've seen it happen in the past few weeks alone.

Yes, it was me who fantasy booked Ambrose and Reigns turning on Rollins earlier this year; but that was because the end goal was to have a Shield Triple Threat in the main event of WrestleMania.

The story and the stage demanded those turns; Now, it's all about the short moment with little-to-no future planning or character motivations.

WWE seriously needs a good grasp at creating engaging babyfaces rather than having a roster full of performers and authority figures vying for crowd heat for five hours every week.
