#4 Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston has been a face throughout his WWE career. With a catchy entrance theme, energetic persona and attractive in-ring style, Kingston became a fan-favourite soon after his debut.

After their initial run as heels, The New Day also veered into face territory. This led to Kofi Kingston's ultimate race to WWE Championship glory. 'Kofimania' ran on audience support, and it would be impossible without Kingston's evident allure as a face.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

#3 Former WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth

R-Truth is no stranger to playing a villainous role. As a villain he even main-evented a WWE pay-per-view event. However, he receives much better audience reaction as an amusing face.

His "my bad" habit of forgetfulness has become a classic comic relief. Apart from this, his dance routines with Carmella had constant audience participation. Even Brock Lesnar cannot resist the temptation to work with the hilarious veteran, who can perform a humorous skit to perfection.
