5 WWE Superstars who are great as both heels and faces

#2. Asuka

The Empress of Tomorrow incorporated mist into her heel persona.

Asuka is a different beast (so to speak) when it comes to the other WWE stars on this slide show. While the likes of Owens, Zayn and the next entry can talk circles around almost anyone, Asuka showcases her craft much differently. Her limited English is overshadowed by her amazing ring and character work. Instead of relying heavily on her promo ability, the Empress has leaned into the performance side of things as a member of the WWE roster.

Whenever she's involved in a non-wrestling segment, it's her dancing, yelling and overall antics that put her above a lot of the other performers in WWE, either male or female. Communicating non-verbally and without speaking a great deal is hard to do but Asuka has parlayed that into a successful run in WWE.

Her run in NXT was as a dangerous face because she was a legitimate threat in any match. The problem was that she was so darn good that it started to leave her without options. Asuka started to delve into heel territory towards the end of her historic NXT title run, but she left without losing the title.

Her debut on RAW was also as a face and it later led her to a SmackDown Women's Championship. The limited English didn't hurt her as much as it could another Superstar in her position. In fact, her yelling in Japanese was threatening in its own right. Her dancing as a face was fun-loving but when she turned heel last year, it worked just as well. It was more in jest and as a way to taunt her opponents. The green mist also helped her aura as a vile villain. Asuka's facial expressions are also among the best among the WWE women and her most recent run has seen her turn from heel to face thanks to her fantastic ability to adapt.
