Too Many Heel Turns?

[Aster Davis]

Not in order because give me a break.

1. Daniel Bryan
2. Johnny Gargano (Which I still don't get)
3. Nia Jax
4. Drew McIntyre
5. Big Show
6. Mickie James
7. Zack Ryder (I bet this is news to you)
8. Shinsuke Nakamura
9. Randy Orton
10. Braun Strowman
11. Dean Ambrose
12. Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush
13. Buddy Murphy
14. Roderick Strong
15. Aiden English
16. Becky Lynch
17. Nikki Bella
18. Brie Bella
19. Hideo Itami
20. Shane McMahon (Soon?)

So, maybe this is just me but this is WAY too much for one year and there will probably be a few more to close out the year such as Shane McMahon. Heck, I've probably left out two or three. Also, here are all the face turns I can recall this year after looking at the WWE roster.

1. Rusev & Lana
2. Chad Gable
3. Bray Wyatt
4. Elias
5. Carmella
6. Natalya

And only Elias really had a satisfying face turn out of all of those. I don't usualy bitch about WWE and try to look at the positive side of things but all these heel turns have just gotten stale to me.

7. Zack Ryder (I bet this is news to you)

It is...

5. Carmella

And this one just happened...for no real reason...
only with Becky turning heel they most likely did
it to try & keep the division somewhat even.

Still...Carmella is lame...

Hot...but Lame.

6. Natalya

And this just happened because of the draft
& Nattie being friends with Ronda...although...
the WWE seem to have put some distance
between those two now.

You would have thought Nattie would have been
at ringside for the Evolution main event right?

Johnny Gargano (Which I still don't get)

I'm glad I'm not the only one...

Nia Jax

Back & Forth with this one...

She's a heel against Asuka...then a face against Alexa...then a heel against Ronda...
& I guess still a heel now...especially after what she did to Becky.

Randy Orton

Makes sense...he's more suited to a heel role...at least he is in my opinion.

He just looks & "moves" like a bad guy.

Roderick Strong

Made sense with the past history with the Undisputed Era...and finally gave
him the "boost" he needed...although...if the Undisputed Era lose at WarGames...
I could see them turning on Strong.

Becky Lynch

I had been calling this for 2 years...and while she didn't really turn heel...
she finally just snapped and said "No More No Nice Lass" and was given
free reign to FINALLY be aggressive & intelligent.

Daniel Bryan

No idea...

Nikki Bella
Brie Bella

Because a feud/match with Ronda...and it doesn't really
mattered because they just disappeared again afterwards...
which has annoyed me greatly.

idk we'd have to compare it to other years. What I will say is that we did have a couple big ones over the past couple of months, which gives off this vibe of having too many. I don't have a problem with it tho, I think every person on the roster should be a bit of a heel, mostly because majority of the E's babyfaces are bland as hell.

In my opinion, the best solution to not having to turn people constantly would be to slightly alienate this old school heel/face dynamic and just have conflicts between wrestlers, no matter what "side" they're on. HBK vs Undertaker from 09 and 10 wasn't a face vs heel or heel vs face feud, it was a wrestler vs wrestler feud, where both of them had clear motives and understandable animosity. Bryan vs Cena from 2013 is also a great example for a feud that didn't need character labels. The company should just write around the characters instead of their face/heel status. On paper, Lynch vs Jax would be heel vs heel, but the story would still work really well given the context and the backstory as to why there's beef between the two.
So in conclusion, I'm not bothered by more people turning heel, I'm bothered by how they book them against the babyfaces afterwards

Daniel Bryan's heel turn doesn't make any sense and The Miz just sucks as a face so they should turn him face again and let the Miz be heel
