Wrestlers are trained to be able to work both face and heel in the ring in order to envoke a reaction from the WWE Universe. Most of the time, most superstars will have a preference when it comes to working face or heel and that will be the character that they opt to perform as on a regular basis.

Sometimes WWE turns stars face or heel in order to create a reaction, even though this isn't the best option for them. Dolph Ziggler recently turned face just so that he could enter a feud with Drew McIntyre. Whilst there are a number of stars who turn heel due to frustration within the company and whilst this has been effective over the years, there are still many stars who are in the wrong role on WWE TV.


#5 Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss has been given the reins in the Women's Division on Monday Night Raw by acting General Manager Baron Corbin but it's become more and more obvious over the past few weeks that Bliss has been receiving a face reaction.

Bliss worked as a face when she was a fairy on the NXT roster a few years ago, but has predominantly worked as a heel throughout her time on the main roster because she has found the perfect character to get herself over. Despite being a heel, Bliss is still one of the biggest merchandise sellers and often proves that she is a firm fan favorite with the WWE Universe.

Throughout her feud with Nia Jax earlier this year, many of the WWE Universe favored The Goddess over the Irresistible Force, which shows that she could have an interesting face run in the future if given the chance.

#4 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen on WWE TV since August when he was in a tag team with Matt Hardy and the duo was forced to drop their Raw Tag Team Championships because of an injury to Hardy. Over the past few months, Wyatt has been waiting for his return to WWE since the company currently doesn't have anything creative for him.

Wyatt has worked as both a face and a heel in WWE and even though The Wyatt Family has been one of the best parts of his history, Wyatt could make much more impact as a face on Monday Night Raw. The former WWE Champion could be much more useful on Raw as a face since the company has been lacking in faces on Monday Night Raw since Roman Reigns was forced onto the sidelines next month.

The Revival have been one of the hottest Tag Teams in WWE ever since they were NXT Tag Team Champions. Whilst their callups to the main roster have been somewhat underwhelming, they are now in a position where they could turn face on The Lucha House Party.

Even though Kalisto, Gran Metalik, and Lince Dorado are all faces, they are gaining the upper hand in matches by using a numbers advantage which is a heel tactic. The fact that The Revival have complained that the numbers game has given the three stars the advantage in both tag and singles matches in recent weeks shows that WWE is looking to get the two men sympathy which could lead to an eventual face turn down the line if this feud continues into the new year.

#2 The Miz

The Miz has been such a good heel over the past few years that the company has pushed him as the main face on both SmackDown Live and Raw but now he has reached the point where he is being used as a babyface instead.

Miz's feud with Daniel Bryan has been one of the biggest rivalries of his career and now that Bryan is a heel, it makes perfect sense for The Miz to turn face and then continue his feud with Daniel Bryan but this time as opposites. This is the exact storyline that WWE has done with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins now that Rollins is the face and Ambrose is the heel and it could be an interesting dynamic if Bryan and Miz are able to switch places moving forward.

Becky Lynch turned heel back at SummerSlam when her frustrations at being in Charlotte's shadow throughout her career on SmackDown Live finally became too much. The WWE Universe then refused to boo Lynch because she had a legitimate reason to turn on Charlotte since she was the one who had been given all of the opportunities over the past few years.

Lynch then stepped into her feud with Ronda Rousey ahead of Survivor Series, which led to her becoming one of the most popular women in the company and now her meet and greet tickets for The Royal Rumble have sold out in less than two minutes. It appears that Becky Lynch is in dire need of a face turn in the coming months since she is already getting a face reaction from the live crowd.
