WWE: Top 5 Heel Turns Of 2016

One of the most interesting parts of the WWE TV is to see the character given negative shades after a span of time. This adds a new color to the persona of characters and also tests that certain one how good he is playing either a good or bad role. Plus it opens a new way of story-telling for the particular feud. The creative gets new options by a heel turn to add to the storyline. 2016 was no exception as we saw multiple superstars turning into negative characters and garnered much despise from the crowd.

Chris Jericho

Y2J is perhaps the best ever in the WWE while playing both positive and negative characters on-screen. So it does not really matter for him to turn heel because he knows the audience is still going to respect him. This one villainous act was needed from him for a guy like AJ Styles, who was new to the WWE. So he turned on him hitting a trifecta of Code-breaker and burning his ring-gear. This brought out a great Wrestlemania match between the two and Styles got into the title picture going forward.

 

Charlotte

It was evident Charlotte was going to turn heel at some point with the “dirtiest player in the game” in her corner. So she did the same by attacking and delivering a vicious beat down to Becky Lynch on the first Raw of this year. But we were just disgusted with her actions towards her own father later the year. She abandoned Flair declaring him ‘dead’ on live television. To build up her heel character, she repeated the act a couple of weeks ago again by slapping her father. We can only say Charlotte has already surpassed her father in all the dirty games.

 

 

Natalya

This was another shocking heel turn of the year and unfortunately, the victim was Becky Lynch, again. The Queen of the Harts had a rough time in her feud against Charlotte post-Wrestlemania season. She was screwed for the title several times. In addition, she was pinned by Charlotte again in a Tag Team match. Out of frustration, she back-stabbed her own partner Becky. Nattie did not profit from the heel turn but the creative received various booking options from this turn.

 

James Ellsworth

“The turtle with the shell” betrayed Dean Ambrose at WWE TLC PPV. He cost the Lunatic Fringe the world title and thereby turned on the man who helped him get a job on Smackdown Live. Everyone around the world got shocked when he put Ambrose off the ladder through the tables. Not only that, he even made himself despised cheering for Styles and saying he did not do anything wrong!

AJ Styles

It was a dream night for the fans since they witnessed AJ Styles and John Cena in the same ring at the same time. The crowd just got mad with the scene. But the bizarre thing happened when his club members Luke Gallows and Carl Anderson came out. The Phenomenal One changed his popular face and turned into an attacker to the franchise player of the company. Cena’s return to the company turned into a nightmare as the Club reunited to start the trend #beatupJohnCena.
