5 Top Wrestling Superstars Known for Babyface Personas

​Throughout the history of professional wrestling, certain Superstars inherently exhibit more charisma and a particular special charm and skill when embodying one persona over another—whether it be the dastardly, cunning heel or the noble, heroic face. Hulk Hogan serves as a prime example of a wrestler who spent a considerable part of his career primarily portrayed as a face. However, given Hogan's complex history, it often appeared that this role was more of a forced persona rather than a more naturally created one. Thus, when he infamously turned Heel at the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, it marked a pivotal moment that would ultimately become one of the most iconic moments in the brief yet impactful history of WCW and professional wrestling as a whole!

Thank you for joining me on this brief journey through wrestling history to illustrate an idea that captures the essence of this article. Now, let’s shift our focus back to the central theme at hand. Without further ado, here’s my list of top wrestling superstars who showcased more charisma as Faces. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean they never turned heel; rather, they are primarily remembered for their roles as faces—much like John Cena (similar to Hogan, who was portrayed as a forced face and later shockingly turned heel). It's crucial to clarify that this list isn't necessarily ranked in terms of in-ring ability or even superstar popularity, but rather in terms of who I believe exhibits more charisma as a face and connects with the fans most that way—along with their overall impact on the business.

I've been a fan of pro wrestling since I was around 15, during the lead-up to WrestleMania 28 in 2012. It's hard to believe that I've been captivated by this world for nearly half my life—I’m 28 now! Naturally, I've had my ups and downs with the product, experiencing phases of intense engagement followed by periods of more sporadic viewing. Admittedly, I haven't tuned in regularly over the last five years, but my passion for it has recently been rekindled. To me, it's akin to a close friendship: you may go a while without seeing a good friend, but when you do reunite, it's as though that bond has remained unchanged and you simply pick up where you left off.

​With Adam Cole's contract with WWE set to expire this Friday, rumors about his eventual whereabouts have been floating around, making him once again among the top talked about wrestlers in the industry. Thanks to a few hints and teases left by the AEW roster, and Cole himself, there may now be legitimate reason to believe he will be AEW's next biggest signee.

Also, before we move forward with the list, please note that this is NOT necessarily ranked in order and with that in mind there is plenty to be hopeful about to see if this does actually come to fruition. So, from a Bullet Club revival in AEW, to The Young Bucks and more tag team glory there is much to be expected and excited about even if it's still a fantasy at this point. So, without further ado, here is the list..
