5 WWE Superstars Who Need a Face/Heel Turn

Turning the allegiances of wrestlers is almost always a refreshing change. These five men could really use a turn in order to shake things up, both for the company as well as their own personal careers.

This may be an interesting choice, but I believe it could be effective. They aren't pushing him and he barely does anything longer than a few minutes of screentime. When I think of a heel Adam Rose I think of when Doink was an evil clown. That was spectacular and ahead of its time. Rose worked well as a heel with the Leo Kruger character, and I think that insanity could translate well here. Of course the Rosebuds would come along to play.

The man is a beast. Not only that, but he's a beast that can move and wrestle. He has proven that he can play the sympathetic, yet mean face role very well, and that's what he should do. Wyatt's lack of success can turn into extra berating, then Harper will have enough, and he disposes of Rowan and goes for Wyatt. It would set up great matches and a great new mid-level face. Harper vs. Sheamus!

Dude has charisma -- a lot more than he's been given the chance to display. He isn't the best talker in the world, and the initial push with the Ryback character was terribly botched. It looked like they had a chance when he became a Heyman Guy, but he and Axel were complete dead weight, which is a shame. He has some time off, so let him return as a face (feud with Orton, maybe?) and give him a second lease on life.

What happened? He got over like crazy with the crowd, dumped Swagger and Zeb, became a Heyman guy (bad idea in the end) and won the battle royal at WrestleMania. It seemed like they were going to try to keep him as a face and a Heyman guy, but that quickly changed with no warning and it has been a massive disappointment. He's continuing to have great matches and is feuding for the U,S, Title, but he could be in a better place as a good guy.

I have been absolutely begging for this for a long, long time. Sheamus, while continuing to be a workhorse and having really good matches, has been horribly stale and is in dire need of a change. Not only will a heel turn refresh him, but it could very well lead him back up to the top of the card as a contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion once the reign of Lesnar is over.
