What on earth? WWE were thinking join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 WWE character changes that made zero Subscribing hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive leaves Wrestling channel incredible Number 10 big time becks a Becky Lynch made a grand return to WWE at the Summer Slam PPV in 2021 Lynch would return following a 15 month hiatus and would squash ultra popular baby face of Bianca Belair To women's title out what followed was a misplaced and misguided Smackdowns women's title most popular stars Lynch would turn heel immediately after a Summer Slam return and begin to berate the fans This personality change made no sense though as before Lynch departed WWE the year prior She had a genuine connection with the fans and there was no logical reason why Lynch suddenly hated the audience the character change I'm one of those people she shouldn't have went heel. It didn't make sense. Her heel turn wasn't really that good It didn't make sense You come back of course, you're gonna be a face sometimes you can pull that off a surprise heel turn from a return like a comeback but Like no, bro But it didn't work and the fact that she squashed Bianca was just it was like what the fuck that that was kind of Criticism from fans, but also Triple H as Lynch would reveal that the game questioned Why when a WWE's most universally beloved stars is now a villain? Thank you defied all rationale Piper Niven becomes do drop Final few years running definitely got a change to make the face. She she's better as a face WWE he seemingly became obsessed with changing everyone's name Whether this was shortening names or completely erasing the old characters names Well, man seemed to believe that a new change was the key to a character getting over on the main roster But what are the more infamous of these name changes was when Vince McMahon renamed Piper Niven? Niven would now turn into do drop Way better name. Yeah, it was really hard to recover from the name change would also be explained in a segment on raw where do drop would debut as even Marie's protege Do drop would be about to introduce herself as Piper Niven before Marie cut her off and revealed her name to be do drop in a debut match the raw announced team had to pretend that they had no idea who she was The McMahon decided to completely erase her pride work in NXT UK This was a huge disappointment as it would have made logical sense to simply introduce Piper Niven in the role and bring up her NXT UK success Yeah To make things worse when do drop eventually left the side of Marie do drop decided to keep the infamous name Which was a character decision that was completely baffling. Yeah, don't like the name She turns into a bad man And one of the most nonsensical storylines of the attitude era was who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin angle that started It was me series 99 When this angle first went down WWE creative had no idea who was going to be revealed as a one behind the attack for an Austin return in 2000 WWE had to think of someone relatively quickly They eventually came up with the idea of having Rikishi be the one driving the car who ran down Austin and Triple H would be the mastermind Behind the entire thing Rikishi would explain that he did it for the rock In order to help the rock reach super stardom in WWE this reveal with poorly executed and fans still continued to criticize WWE's decision to name Rikishi as one ran over the Texas Rattle snake following the big reveal Rikishi would completely alter his persona And he would turn into a menacing heel this character change flopped and fans hated it Take too long for WWE to completely scrap the heel character and before fans knew it Rikishi was back to his lovable colorful Dancing babyface persona number seven three Bella's subjective memory. I did it. I did it for the rock. I'm like wait When you look back on it, I was like Really? It could have come with anyone else to be the driver. Hell you could have had Triple H as the fucking driver Just had a mask on them. That would have worked The line between the Bella twins in 2014 was universally panned by fans It centered on Nikki Bella turning on her sister Brie and this would escalate when Nikki won a match against Brie Forcing her to become a personal assistant for 30 days Nikki put Brie through hell during the feud and the storyline officially lost fans at the Survivor Series pay-per-view Brie would help Nikki win the Divis title from a daily at the event and following the pay-per-view The Bella twins would be back together again with the two showing no animosity whatsoever Brie had seemingly forgotten that her own sister had put her through severe torment Yeah, he had previously sworn revenge on her It was WWE character development at its very worst and killed any ounce of credibility Brie had left as a compelling character on the show Number six Triple H and Ric Flair are better. Imagine imagine They say yo, you're gonna fight your your sibling which happens, you know, you're gonna be in a few with your sibling and then They choose you like trash and then you're just supposed to forget and forgive You don't even get your revenge or nothing Yeah, that's some Vince McMahon booking right there. Yes friends again Another 2005 feud between Triple H and Ric Flair is a vastly underrated feud that delivered a fantastic storyline between two icons of the WWE The rivalry was a pure blood feud and when the feud came to a close There was simply no way WWE would ever go back to the former evolution stablemates being friends However, when Triple H 10 babyface in 2006 and reformed DX alongside Shawn Michaels It was presented as if the game and flair were once again best friends Triple H will come to the aid of flair during his battles with Edge and Randy Orton And it was never remotely mentioned that less than a year prior these two men were literally trying to end each other's careers You know what that's funny. I never really paid attention to that Now that he brought that up that makes a lot of sense it what didn't make a lot of sense Wait a minute. It's what if I did just try to kill you multiple times And now y'all cool because you're a babyface Huh I actually forgot all about that Whilst this wasn't a full-blown character change from both men It certainly damaged the established law of the respective characters. I forgot all about that Randy Orton suddenly loves the fans Randy Orton's babyface 10 in 2004 was poorly planned and ultimately poorly executed Upon winning the world title at the SummerSlam event Orton was unceremoniously kicked out of the evolution stable Orton had been one of the most calculated villainous heels on the roster And now he was suddenly a babyface He would begin to cut babyface fan-friendly promos where he mocked evolution and tried to suck up to the fans It made no sense that just because Orton was kicked out of the faction that he suddenly had good guy tendencies It worked the support of fans This was one of the main reasons that Orton's babyface pushing 2004 completely failed And wwe would make the executive decision to turn him back into a heel just a few short months later Well, you know him working. He just works better as a heel at that point. He still worked better as a heel He didn't have like that babyface Like persona down like he still came off as a as a prick number four edge forms the judgment day Edge instantly became one of the most popular stars on the roster However, two years after his return wwe made the bizarre decision to turn one of their biggest babyface stars into a heel On the road to WrestleMania 38 age would issue an open challenge for WrestleMania And when this was accepted by AJ Styles, Edge would viciously attack the former champion Which is wild Love it The son of which had gothic and supernatural undertones and he would ridicule the fans despite them showing him nothing But support upon his 2020 return Edge's character would undergo further evolution when he started the judgment day stable This would consist of Rhea Ripley and Damien Priest The stable promised to banish any wrestler who didn't fit in their mountain of omnipotence Unfortunately, the character change for edge didn't work as fans had no desire to boo edge at this stage of his career Wwe would make the sensible decision to turn edge back into a babyface in the summer of 2022 Well, here's the thing about that that I don't I'm sure he knows but he's missing There's a lot of context as he's missing out of that one. They kicked him out the fucking group The thing is I think edge was all behind the judgment day because he was mainly just trying to get What the judgment day is now is what edge wanted it to be Before vince kind of was trying to mess around with it and creative That's what it is now is what it should have been and I think edge was trying to do that I think edge wanted to be a heel because you know, I mean he works better as a heel anyway And he was trying to get them over. I think edge wanted to be a heel they didn't turn them baby face because All of a sudden he just wanted to turn baby face to turn them baby face Because he didn't want to be a part of the judgment day no more. So he had to turn baby face So There's more context. It's not just they just decided to turn them baby face No, he had to Because he wasn't in the group no more. They kicked him out Finn baller becomes the leader of the judgment day Speaking of the judgment day following the hell in a cell event in june 2022 Since we're talking about it maybe we're going a different direction with the stable The stable would come out for a promo on raw and introduce their newest member Finn baller baller Rhea Ripley and Damian priests will then kick edge out of the group making baller the new leader There was a major issue with this development as the stable had been making baller's life hell and baller and priest had been in a violent Feud why baller was willing to put bad blood behind him in order to join a stable of people He disliked it was yeah when you think about it It's being nonsensical baller as the leader arguably worked better though as baller Ripley priest and later dominic mysterio Certainly had more chemistry as a collective unit. Yeah, they're doing pretty good. The demon goes corporate A wwe hall of fame mccain has undergone some unique character changes throughout his tenure as a devil's favorite demon However in 2013 the cane character completely took a nosedive as cane became Corporate came came when corporate came was the worst version of came. I couldn't stand it Oh, it was so cringe. I hate it this version of came And his master Stephanie McMahon on an episode of raw and in the process joined the authority He would appear in a suit and tie on wrestling soup pants and Was truly awful and it was no surprise that most fans label us as the worst incarnation of canes Bro, it's funny when he says he's wrestling his soup pants and I don't know why that's funny the way rustling me. I said it bro. He wrestled in poot I mean wrestling soup pants The devil favorite demon is out here wrestling in corporate clothes, bro The devil's favorite uh tax man. Like what the fuck bro He was never explained why it was happening or why came suddenly wasn't demonic It was basically a normal human being came would eventually revert to his prior persona with the iconic mask down the line But unfortunately the mystique was heavily damaged with the corporate stooge character And number one stone cold sells his soul to the devil himself Yeah, this I I can understand this being on air because when you think about it in paper in theory It just it sounds good, but ultimately They didn't need to change what wasn't broken, you know Stone cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon's feud defined the attitude error That's why it was so unbelievably shocking when the two joined forces at WrestleMania 17 McMahon would assist Austin in defeating the rock to win the wwe title It was presented on screen that Austin had sold his soul in order to win the wwe's top prize Austin subsequently turned heel and some fans liked this as the end of the attitude era and a downward trajectory of the creative output from WWE The common complaint surrounding this character change from Austin was that it was unnecessary and failed to make a logical sense Yeah, McMahon was Austin's mortal enemy and would never under any circumstances join forces with him Additionally, the key favorite reasoning of Austin needing help to defeat a man He's defeated numerous times failed to justify the character shift Austin would discuss the heel turn on his podcast and revealed that he regrets the character change and wishes it never transpired But they have it. Yeah, he never needed to go heel bro I mean, he's one of those people You didn't have to turn him heel like Especially or if you wanted to turn him heel, it could have been another way granted It was gonna be hard to get him to get booed because people loved him. So it was like, I don't know But that was that was always a Definitely a headscratcher especially growing up like why why would he do that? That don't make sense for Stone Cold JR still sold it like a Champion though because he was just as surprised as I was he sold the hell out there But I was just so confused by that but comment down below. Let me know. What are some character changes in WWE?
