Despised WWE star to apologize to his Hall of Famer father, Solo Sikoa to get betrayed - 4 Top heels who will be incredible babyfaces in the future
The top heels in WWE are doing a tremendous job at the moment. However, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that some of them are bound to be strong babyfaces in the future.
WWE's history isn't short of examples of devious heels ditching their villainous roots and then rising the ranks as mighty fan favorites. Randy Orton's successful babyface turn in 2010 after portraying one of the most menacing heels for five years is prime proof.
Therefore, considering that most of WWE's stories and top wrestlers' gimmicks are clicking with fans, it's easy to see how the four top heels below can eventually become the ultimate good folks.
#4. Bron Breakker
With Bron Breakker already near the top of the card, it's all but a guarantee that WWE's future is bright. In fact, he could emerge as one of the most pivotal babyfaces in the future.
The second-generation juggernaut recently dropped the Intercontinental Championship to Jey Uso. Following the loss, Breakker teased a face turn, and the live crowd was quite welcoming. That's no surprise because, over the last few months, Bron Breakker's 'dogs' have started packing the arenas across the country.
While the rising star turned heel merely a week after teasing the aforementioned switch, a career-defining babyface run must be in store for him sooner or later. After all, Breakker's explosive in-ring game will keep earning him more applause from the fans as months go by.
#3. 2024 WWE Women's Money in the Bank winner, Tiffany Stratton
It's beyond impressive how popular Tiffany Stratton has gotten with the fans despite her being a heel and on the main roster for less than a year. Her surreal charisma and pristine in-ring work to complement it has resulted in her getting babyface reactions.
From the looks of it, WWE seemingly sees potential in Ms. Money in the Bank as a top babyface. Her ongoing storyline with current WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax could very well lead to said turn.
Lately, The Irresistible Force has been struggling to hide her anger while dealing with the 25-year-old star due to many misunderstandings. If things keep escalating, the clock on Jax's reign might strike Tiffy Time before she knows it. There's no denying that a successful cash-in would instantly catapult Stratton as a top fan favorite.
#2. Dominik Mysterio
The way Dominik Mysterio has come into his own as one of the most despised heels across the wrestling industry today is remarkable. It goes without saying that a major chunk of his success as a villain goes to his father, Rey Mysterio.
Given how beloved the WWE Hall of Famer is in the business, anybody who turns his back on him is bound to face the harsh side of the WWE Universe. So, it's understandable that Rey's own son became a heat magnet after backstabbing him.
Even though 'Dirty Dom' still has a lot to accomplish as a heel, many fans still believe that he will go through a redemption arc one day, and an apology to his father would be the perfect way to start it. Moreover, the improvements he has made as an on-screen character would ensure that his potential next babyface run is better than his previous one.
#1. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu's addition to the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline resulted in the faction's credibility skyrocketing overnight. In a span of two months, The Samoan Werewolf laid waste to iconic fan favorites such as Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton & Roman Reigns.
While his heel work has been off the charts so far, it's only a matter of time before Jacob gets the opportunity to showcase his potential as a babyface. So far, he has only been able to show the WWE Universe glimpses of his uber-charismatic personality. Once he is allowed to go full throttle, it might be impossible for fans not to cheer for him.
An intricately crafted slow-burn turn, akin to Batista's in 2005, that ends with Jacob ditching Solo Sikoa to go solo could be the key that helps him unlock the door to becoming one of the top faces of the company.
