Karrion Kross has become a running joke for WWE, where WWE always tries to change gimmicks and make fans care. With his behind the scenes transition to manipulator, Cross began to influence other talents, saying enough to make a second guess.
AJ Styles, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and others have embraced the dark side after having interactions and storylines with Cross. Inspired by Sean O’Hare’s early 2000s run, the unique character made fans care about Kross for the first time in WWE.

Logic heels create a good story

October 2024 March 2025 | Self-appointed WWE Champion (not official) | Cody Rhodes |
Kevin Owens’ heel turn against Cody Rhodes actually made him appear to the right side of Rhodes. WWE booked a unique Owens and Rhodes angle that references their real-life friendships on television until Cody agreed to team up with his former enemy Roman rulers.
Owens snapped to attack Rhodes and make some vicious attacks to tolerate someone who tormented both. The heel character of KO, who becomes a self-appointed champion using the Winged Eagle title, has added a leg that conveys the heel character to his truth.

WWE has struggled to book a strong All-Mail faction on the main roster, and groups like the Riott team and Team Bad won’t hit their full potential. Triple H used his first PPV to introduce Bayley’s original damage Ctrl Facion.
The trio of Bailey, Io Sky and Dakotakai played perfectly the heel team that broke all the rules to take over. All three were hugged with gold and together became a big star. Damage CTRL ultimately made more changes by adding and losing members, but the original group was a smash hit at the right time.

Honorary UCE supported WWE’s top angle

When Sami Zayn entered the equation, the lineage was already the biggest WWE storyline, but he helped it reach new heights. Zayn’s comedy timing was added to the story when he tried to join a Roman governing group, despite not being part of the family.
The segment provided fans with a range of storytelling, from persuasive to hilarious to heartbreaking. It was Zayn’s “honor uce” in the last magical work that would make the lineage a great historical storyline. The WWE ultimately benefited from this as Zayn ultimately stood up to governance.

Chelsagreen became a star using minimal television time by providing hilarious lines and mannerism. Fans began to enjoy the green heeled character, providing so much entertainment, and Triple H attracted attention to highlighting her.
WWE shocked the world by introducing the women’s American championship and holding the title first. The Green Regime featured Green, despite her Canadian origin, as she was the new head of state and acting as if she were representing America in comedy.

Wrestling is rarely appreciated for playing heels that he hates, but Drew McIntyre has been doing it in recent years. WWE told the layered story of McIntyre who doesn’t respect the faces of his fellow peers that Jayuso accepted because of his previous actions as part of his pedigree.
CM Punk’s Return leads to McIntyre becoming a perfect heel by shaming Punk through a bomb of truth from the past. The character’s shift with Drew playing bitter heels worked well as he had a great point calling for the awful acts of various babyfaces loved by fans. McIntyre has become a respected main event heel by telling the bitter truth that fans don’t want to hear.

Triple H has been a Gunther supporter since the early days of NXT and helped him become a star on the main roster. Most of Gunther’s record-setting Intercontinental Championship rulers were deliberately booked for Triple H, trying to use history to make him a star.
Gunther was protected by reservation and became a reliable heel that recorded a clean victory as an invincible ring general. Triple H later booked Gunther to become King of the Ring, and eventually won the World Championship, solidifying himself as the dominant star.
