7 WWE Heel Turns That Must Happen In 2024

WWE

From Santos Escobar to Drew McIntyre – 2023 sure has seen it’s share of much-needed heel turns for some of WWE’s stagnating babyfaces.

While heel turns aren’t always the answer to refreshing stale characters, they do often at the very least allow for some extra creativity on the performers part.

Although some of the very best can showcase enough personality to be a likeable babyface such as an LA Knight, the shackles are way more evident on others, with many falling victim to being nothing but a smiling sheet of blank paper.

From upstarts that are treading water to established names who have proven to be affective heels in the past, this list looks to identify seven acts in most need of change in 2024.

So without further ado let’s dive into our first of seven entries:

7. Cameron Grimes

Honestly, among the entire WWE roster the very first name that immediately sprung to mind for stars in need of a change was Cameron Grimes.

Despite establishing himself as one of NXTs most entertaining characters both as a heel and face, since his main roster call-up he has had very little time to make any kind of impression on the audience.

Grimes is someone with absolutely no shortage of personality so to see him get little to no promo time or even vignettes is disappointing. Especially when it’s his former NXT boss Triple H in charge of his creative.

You could hear a pin drop when Grimes enters an arena. So instead of expecting the audience to blindly cheer for someone they have no reason to, when you could instead take the burden off him and allow him to spread his wings a bit as a heel first.

His over-enthusiastic, southern drawl is already obnoxious and grating and with the right spin could easily be used to rile up live crowds. Just grow out his beard again, make him a bit of a sleaze-ball and you’ve got a good mid-card heel.
