Thumbs up or Thumbs down: Recent heel/face turns in WWE

#1 Bayley - Thumbs Up

No more Bayley Buddies.

Bayley's heel turn was perhaps the most necessary one on this slide show. For her entire WWE run, she's been the epitome of a face - she loves the fans, always does what's right, and fights her way up from the bottom.

Bayley has been stepped on by many of the women as they've ascended to the top, including the likes of Flair, Bliss, and almost everyone in between. Her initial turn was aided by the return of her best friend, The Boss. While nothing changed visually about the former hugger, she did start exhibiting heel tendencies. She cheated to defeat Flair at Clash of Champions and still felt justified towards the fans with her questionable actions.

The turn was complete when the current SmackDown Women's Champion not only completely changed her attitude, but also her look. She cut her hair and destroyed the inflated Bayley Buddies that have been synonymous with her ever since debuting in WWE. The former hugger now told the crowd that she didn't care about them and that she would only be looking out for herself. Sure, it's the usual rhetoric after a heel turn, but it was true in spades for Bayley. Her theme song also changed from an upbeat song to an emo-sounding anthem.

If there was one star who truly needed a turn, it was Bayley. It has led her to another reign as SmackDown Women's Champion and the top spot on the Blue Brand. She's even started using a different finishing move. Everything that she has changed has helped to make the heel turn even more believable. Had she only done half of those things, it wouldn't have seemed as effective.
