WWE wants to build African American babyface

There has been a call internally for WWE to try and create an African American babyface. The idea is to create him both to attract that demographic and to sell merchandise, similar to the role Rey Mysterio has played with the Latin community.

Out of the ones on the WWE payroll now I'd say Langston or Xavier Woods have the best chance at being a long term investment. Xavier edging out Big E for me personally.

Put the tag-team titles on the Prime Time Players after a face turn for them. That could work.

Xavier > Titus in my opinion. More charisma in Woods and a more entertaining style to him. Plus Woods has age on his side and he has a damn doctorate. HHH is high on the boy.

I'd pick some African guy to be honest. Maybe Kingston or Gabriel. Gabriel is playing a babyface role right now so it's a plausible option + he was great when he was with Nexus.

Gabriel isn't African American (A black guy). He's South African, probably of colonial roots.

By African American they mean black. It's just a politically correct way of saying it. Gabriel would not fit into these plans.

Actually, African American is a person who lives in American and speaks English but his ancestors are from Africa. As almost every single person in Africa is black they consider African American people black guys.

As far as the current roster goes, Titus O'Neil is the only option I can think of. He's also entertaining enough and he has a good look to him. Plus, that barking lol.



His age I don't feel would work against him either and the last I checked, Vince was said to be 'high' on him a while back.
