5 Top Heels who were Faces at this time last year

The Fiend is on his way to becoming WWE's top monster heel in the coming months

#4 Daniel Bryan

From the Leader of Yes Movement to the Savior of Planet, Daniel Bryan definitely knows how to tweak characters.

Daniel Bryan's comeback story last year was an inspiring one. The way he fought for his dreams to compete in front of the WWE Universe was commendable. Bryan had been a face since 2012 after he became a part of Team Hell No. When The Leader Of The Yes Movement finally got cleared to compete last year, the WWE Universe started predicting the dream matches and feuds he could be a part of.

One thing that fans couldn't have predicted accurately was the timing of his heel turn. Bryan was undoubtedly one of the most over babyfaces in WWE. At this time last year, he was involved in one of the most important feuds of his career (against The Miz). To have him turn heel a few weeks after wrapping that up was a moment uncalled for.

Five days prior to Survivor Series 2018, Bryan turned heel in the closing moments of his WWE Championship match against AJ Styles. Bryan won the Title but lost his tag as The Leader Of The Yes Movement and became one of the most despised heels on the roster.

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.

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.
