The most recent addition to this list is the Leader of Yes! Movement Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan turned heel on AJ Styles on an episode of Smackdown Live!.

Build-up:

Bryan was cleared to return to the ring in 2018. It was a major boost for both him and WWE.

Bryan became the no. 1 contender for WWE Championship after defeating his arch-rival The Miz at Super Show-Down. He was destined to get his match at Crown Jewel. Bryan pulled himself out from that event due to the controversy around it.

He got his match at the go-home show of the PPV, but lost that match to Styles.

After Crown Jewel, Bryan was announced as the co-leader of Smackdown men's Survivor Series team. At the end of the night, a mini glimpse of The New Daniel Bryan was shown to us.

Execution:

Paul Heyman came out to hype Lesnar vs Styles II on Smackdown Live. He said AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers in the world, second only to Daniel Bryan. Bryan came out all angry, and a brawl between the two was initiated.

Shane McMahon made a match between the two official for the night with the Championship being on the line. In the closing moments of an incredibly contested match when the referee was knocked down, Bryan cheated his way up. He delivered a low blow to Styles and pinned him one-two-three.

The new WWE Champion did not stop there and destroyed Styles with all his might.

Aftermath:

Daniel Bryan gave Lesnar his best match of the year after turning heel. He told a great story and almost defeated Lesnar in that match only to come up short in the end.

Later he declared the Yes! Movement had died and a new Daniel Bryan had been created. He delivered a great match against AJ Styles at TLC.

His feud with Styles is far from over.

Conclusion

The ultimate winner
The ultimate winner

After comparing all the things regarding each heel turn I will say the ultimate winner of this battle is, Becky Lynch. She is followed by Daniel Bryan. Ambrose and Nakamura are close behind him.

So this was my opinion on all these heel turns, there is a strong possibility that my views could be different from yours.
