The 10 biggest heel turns in WWE history
Triple H has become the modern master of heel work in WWE programming.Perhaps the most basic componennt of WWE programming, like any television show, is the struggle between the good guys, or babyfaces, and the bad guys, or heels. But unlike other shows, characters tend to switch back and forth between the two sides.Over the course of WWE history, there have been a variety of such turns, some that mattered a great deal and some that didn’t. Here are 10 of the biggest, some because of the wrestler involved, some because of the circumstances and some because of the impact on the company.
#10 Big Show turns again
Perhaps no one has turned from heel to face as often as the Big Show has in his lengthy WWE career, but one of his more recent turns stands out.
At Survivor Series in 2014, the Giant was on Team Cena with John Cena, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan against the Authority with the bosses’ control of the company on the line.
As the match wore on, it came down to Show, Cena and an apparently injured Ziggler against Seth Rollins, Kane and Luke Harper. Sensing the odds weren’t in the good guys’ favor, Show knocked out Cena and joined the Authority in the process.
The plan didn’t work out immediately, since Team Cena won, but it led to another heel run for the gigantic superstar.
