WWE: Five Incredible faces who were better as heels

There are some wrestlers who play faces very while some are who play heels effectively. Some wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and John Cena were and even now great as faces while others like Kevin Owens and The Miz played heels at its very best. However, there are some wrestlers who play both great and are appreciated in both with the same passion.

At the same time, some of the WWE superstars became fan favorites and rose to prominence when they turned heel and for some, it gave their career's a new lease of life. The likes of Edge, Chris Jericho, Triple H, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair and so on have been widely remembered as some of the greatest WWE superstars to have graced the ring.

However, the wrestlers who play both greatly also face the dilemma of deciding which of their personas will be liked more. A WWE superstar's arc is one of the most important things and the trajectory of the wrestler's career is so many times dependent on it.

There are some wrestlers who we thought are better as faces but actually were better and effective at playing heels. Here are five wrestlers who played heels better than their face persona:

5) Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair is just like her father, legendary Ric Flair. Like her father, she plays both heel and a face perfectly. Although she gets booed sometimes even as a face unlike her father, one thing is for sure, she is great as a face. However, one question arises, which role did she play better?

The answer simply is a heel. Charlotte Flair was possibly one of the best heel WWE's women's industry has ever seen. Her work as a heel definitely gets the fans to boo her no matter what she did. From torturing Bayley to fighting out Sasha Banks with her heel tricks, her work as a heel was exemplary.

Charlotte's work was comparable to plenty of seasoned veterans who were known for working as a heel and her arc was perhaps one of the in WWE in the year 2016. Her work redefined the Women's Wrestling. Heel Charlotte was simply amazing!

4) The Rock

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's work as both face and heel was great. However, many fans think of Rock as a face due to his incredible work as a face, however, his heel work was much better.

The cocky and ruthless Rock was the one which redefined wrestling during the Attitude Era. The Rock was the biggest heel of Attitude Era and his rivalry with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was popular with him being a heel and Austin being a face.

His heel work was on next level. From being an Authority member to playing guitar and getting heat, the Rock's heel work was one of the best heels in WWE.

3) AJ Styles

AJ Styles has been incredible both as a face and a heel. He has been a fighting WWE champion in both the personalities with the fans firmly behind him during both. However, whenever we compare both of his reigns, we might very well find out that his heel work was better.

AJ Styles' cocky and ruthless attitude as a heel were key parts of his title reign. He worked brilliantly and defeated biggest babyfaces like John Cena, Dean Ambrose, and Dolph Ziggler. His in-ring work and character work at that time was the best character in the WWE.

Compared his 150-day reign as a heel to his 300+ day reign as a face, many people would choose his heel-reign as he was much better as a heel than a face. Many fans even want heel AJ back and that would be a treat to watch.

2) Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch was a great babyface with the crowd firmly behind her whenever she came out to the ring. She was a lovable babyface and no one thought that she would ever turn heel due to her personality. The fans thought that if WWE turned her heel, the fans would never have been happier to be proved wrong.

Becky Lynch, since turning heel, has proved that she is much better as a heel than a face. While the fans are still behind her, she has proved us how great a lovable babyface can be. She somewhat reminds the fans of the legendary "Stone Cold" Steve Austin because of her trash talks and rubbing shoulders with practically everyone in the roster. Her mic skills have too, reached another level with the turn.

With her heel turn, she did what she wasn't able to do in the last two years: become a champion again. After staying under the radar for two years, a perfect heel run has made her relevant in just a month. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to her character and she is one of the best female athletes in WWE today.

1) Seth Rollins

While many fans might think that Seth Rollins is having the run of his career, that might not necessarily be the case. Seth Rollins might be one of the best babyfaces in the WWE, but he is still not on the level he was at during his heel run.

Seth Rollins was a far better heel than a face. He always looked like a genuine heel during his run and the heat he used to get during that run was insane. He was also able to win both US title and WWE title at the same time during his heel run, something which he has been unable to replicate as a face.

Seth Rollins as a heel overcame a huge amount of faces and was a top guy in WWE(something which is difficult during a heel run). He even used to put on much better matches as a heel and proved that his mic skills are among the best in the current WWE. Rollins was truly a genius as a heel. He is an incredible face, but his heel work was unparalleled and one of the best in the WWE.
