5 WWE Superstars who need to turn babyface right now

With WWE undergoing a massive change at the Executive and creative levels, and with the brand split seemingly coming to an end as new faces continue to appear on Raw and Smackdown, now would be a good time to give established talents a big creative shake-up.

Over the course of the next several months, as Smackdown Live approaches its debut on FOX, fresh faces are going to be a key factor in attracting a new audience for the blue brand, and there are several heels right now that have the potential to become even bigger stars if WWE pulls the trigger on a babyface turn.

Earlier this week, I named 6 WWE Superstars who need to turn heel right now, and you can check those names out at this link.

With the above in mind, let's take a look at 5 current WWE Superstars who need to turn babyface right now.

#5 Cesaro

There was a time when Cesaro was well on his way to becoming one of WWE's top babyfaces, when the Swiss Cyborg, known then as the Swiss Superman, wowed audiences with his incredible strength and his mastering of The Swing.

Despite lacking great mic skills, Cesaro was able to get over huge with fans as a great in-ring talent who possessed a solid look and hard-hitting, phenomenal wrestling ability.

For whatever reason, WWE decided to pull the plug on a possible main event run for Cesaro as a babyface, and even curtailed his brief time paired with Paul Heyman. Instead, the company decided to pair him up with Sheamus, and despite initial concern that the team would not work, they went on to achieve tremendous success in the tag team division.

However, with his heel run alongside Sheamus behind him, now is the time to allow Cesaro to reclaim his spot in WWE as a babyface, and reach the potential that is still left in the former Tag Team Champion.

#4 Andrade

For years, WWE has been trying to create the next breakout Latin Superstar, attempting, and mostly failing, at building a name in the same vein as Rey Mysterio.

Alberto Del Rio is about as close as WWE has come in the past decade at recreating the magic that is Rey Mysterio, and in the end, Del Rio ended up leaving the company and is unlikely to return.

Despite WWE trying its hand with masked Superstars such as Kalisto and Sin Cara, the company has been unsuccessful in creating a Superstar who can boost viewership in the Latin demographic, and Andrade might be the key WWE's success in that department.

With his great look, excellent in-ring ability, and Zelina Vega at his side, now is the perfect time to turn Andrade babyface and create a big star for an important demographic that WWE will certainly be hoping to build upon when Smackdown Live moves to FOX.

#3 Bobby Lashley

During his first run in WWE, Bobby Lashley was a dominant, yet very likeable babyface who was on his way to the top of the company before he made the sudden decision to leave.

Every WWE fan remembers Lashley's participation in the Battle of the Billionaires which pitted Vince McMahon against Donald Trump, and ended with Lashley victorious and McMahon bald.

Lashley works well as a heel in any wrestling company, but considering WWE is not allowing him to work the type of heel character he portrayed in Impact Wrestling, now is a good time for The Almighty to go back to being what worked for him during his initial WWE run - a babyface.

WWE might be concerned with his lack of mic skills, but his in-ring ability coupled with his incredible physique make him the perfect opponent for Brock Lesnar, and can help him achieve success as a top babyface.

#2. Elias

I will be the first to admit that Elias works his best as a heel, but he has been floundering without purpose for several months now on the main roster, and it's time for WWE to make a big change to one of the company's best overall talents.

Elias' initial run as a heel culminated in what looked to be a babyface turn, but WWE inexplicably decided to turn him back to being a heel (likely due to other Superstar injuries), and now he is a purposeless "drifter" who loses big matches on a weekly basis.

If WWE can pull the trigger on a babyface turn for Elias while keeping his cocky, A Star Is Born charisma, there's no reason why the guitar-wielding Superstar cannot become a top babyface on either Raw or Smackdown in a relatively short amount of time. Elias' previous babyface turn was on its way to being a success, and if WWE can perhaps write him a tune which charts on iTunes, he could be a major star in the company.

#1 Alexa Bliss

Little Miss Bliss has been a staple heel on both Raw and Smackdown since she made her debut on the main roster, and despite her innate ability to play the bad guy, enough glimpses into her real life prove she can be a successful babyface.

Despite both Bayley and Becky Lynch being babyface Champions, it would be a breath of fresh air to see Alexa Bliss don the good guy moniker for a while and see where the direction can take her. A babyface turn for Bliss can provide for some new matchups with heels she has not been able to work within the past due to her heel status.

With Sasha Banks possibly making her return to WWE TV, a fresh feud could very well be a heel Banks vs a face Bliss.
