#1. Becky Lynch - A better heel or face in WWE?

This is another one that many WWE fans can and will debate about. Is Becky Lynch a better babyface or a heel? She made her name as a babyface, but it was in 2018 when the unpopular decision was made to turn her heel when she was gaining the most momentum of her career.

It backfired, and Becky Lynch became the company's biggest babyface. Her momentum was so strong that it led to her headlining WrestleMania and beating Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey in the main event to become the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship.

She had a strong year-long run as the babyface RAW Women's Champion and took more than a year away from WWE between 2020 and 2021. When she returned, fans were appalled when they realized that the new SmackDown Women's Champion had come back as a heel.

There was instant backlash, but it was soon revealed that Becky Lynch had personally requested a heel turn, perhaps viewing it as a challenge after seeing Roman Reigns' success.

While she has been a successful SmackDown (and now RAW) Women's Champion so far, Lynch seems to work far better as a face and has the natural charisma to not come across as too cocky or arrogant.
