While heel turns often get more attention, a well executed babyface turn could turn a WWE performer’s entire career around and create some of the most popular stars on the roster.

Whether it be going against a tyrannical leader, or embracing the support of the fans, a babyface turn can deliver one of the most memorable moments in a single year.

With 2026 now here, there are quite a few WWE stars who could be on their way towards the light and become a babyface after being established as a heel for so long.

Here are seven WWE stars to potentially turn babyface in 2026.

7. Dominik Mysterio

Back at WWE WrestleMania 41 Night Two, Dominik Mysterio defeated Finn Balor, Penta and Bron Breakker to become the new Intercontinental Champion.

This marked the first time that the fans overwhelmingly embraced Mysterio and gave him resounding cheers on route to his first singles title on the WWE main roster.

Since then, “Dirty Dom” has regularly garnered some of the loudest cheers from the fans on a regular basis.

Looking to finally embrace the support of the audience, Dominik Mysterio could turn babyface upon his return from a reported injury and truly take the next step in his career.
