Why shouldn't Asuka turn heel? I mean she isn't getting the same reactions anymore that she once did and Ronda Rousey the fans are turning on her more and more each match so why shouldn't she turn heel? Plus Ronda comes off as a natural heel anyway.
Not to mention some of the heels on the list I mentioned are actually growing stale as heels and could benefit from a face turn such as: Bliss, Owens, Zayn, McIntyre especially if you want to build him up as the next face of the company then why shouldn't he?
Not to mention Nakamura as a face he actually was much more successful vs being a heel. I admit probably like the first few months of his heel turn I enjoyed but after that it has been a disaster so why shouldn't he turn face again?

I admit probably like the first few months of his heel turn I enjoyed but after that it has been a disaster so why shouldn't he turn face again? Asuka is too marketable as a face, same with Rousey. A lot of people never thought a Sami Zayn heel run would work, myself included, but he proved doubters wrong. Him and Owens as a heel duo is much better than Owens as a face or the five hundredth Zayn/Owens feud. Nakamura in general has been a complete and utter disaster since NXT because he just doesn't care anymore. |

Plus it makes more sense for Zayn and Owens both to be babyfaces considering Lashley took them both out and Lashley is a full blown heel now with Lio Rush. Why wouldn't they want revenge against the man who put them on the shelf? Which is why it makes sense to book Owens and Zayn as babyfaces. Not to mention Kevin Owens has been a heel ever since coming to the main roster so why not turn him face? What is the harm really? Not to mention Zayn as a babyface is much more marketable if you think about it.

As of right now, Kevin Owens is face already after the double turn in his feud with Lashley

Bobby Roode is another example of a babyface who is a natural heel. The fact that they associate him with Chad Gable is what makes it even more of a disaster. What they need to do is turn Bobby Roode heel and give this damn man a push on RAW because he deserves it. Roode as a heel is much more charismatic on the mic and not to mention he comes off as such an arrogant dick anyway so why not have him look the part as well by having him wear more robes, suits and be in limos like similar in vain to his NXT character.

In the event Roman Reigns returns, he needs to come in as the role he was born to play: the douchebag self-entitled corporate champion that everyone loves to hate. Because he already comes off that way naturally in promos, he actually is management's choice to be the face of the company, and most already do hate his guts.

If and when Roman comes back from beating leukemia he will get cheered not booed anyway so why turn him heel? |

I suggested an Asuka heel turn in the Rumble thread last night. Not like Tuesday, just some point in the future. I just think her screaming at her opponents on Japanese mid match would work as a badass heel. Did she ever play the role in Japan?

If and when Roman comes back from beating leukemia he will get cheered not booed anyway so why turn him heel? He would get a massive pop, and that exact thought will likely be the justification used as to why not to turn him. But is he actually gonna hold that good will with everyone once he gets his spot and superface booking again? I say management's scramble to find someone to carry the load can take some pressure off of one individual being "the guy". A good long absence can be a needed reset for Roman. Have him come back expecting to re-inheriet his spot at the top immediately. But seeing how much others had grown and struggling to reclaim his supremacy makes him desperate enough to accept extra help. All my fantasy booking, of course. They aren't turning him for nothing. Just more jamming him down our throats, with the added helping of guilt for booing a cancer survivor. |

Nakamura has sunk from he turned heel and no one cares anymore. His US title reign was a flop and god knows why they give him it back.

Yes and an Asuka heel turn would actually reset her character or it would actually make her more like the dominant badass she was in NXT |

Sasha, Charlotte & Bayley all need to be heels. Charlotte & Sasha best work are done as heels. Bayley just needs a turn cause shes as stale as 3 week old bread.
Alexa needs the face turn in a bad way. The way her fan base is and the amount of merch she turns its only smart business. Add that onto the fact that her best/most natural rival will be a heel (Sasha) its just smart business.
Id also consider a Liv face turn as well. Really the Riott Squad is just a weird group. None of them really "fit" together. Ruby would be much better off either on her own (as a heel) or with someone else more her style like Rhea in an "Enforcer" type role

I was going to say Anderson and Gallows, but unfortunately I think they're past the point of saving.
Finn Balor's an interesting one. I've been wanting him to turn heel for like a year, but I dunno, depending on where this Brock thing goes (if anywhere) he might find himself as Raw's top face.
