List of WWE Superstar Heel and Face Turns in 2024
Pro-wrestling has its own terminology for many things, including how they describe heroes and villains in their storytelling. Heroes are referred to as babyfaces, or simply faces, in pro wrestling, while villains are referred to as heels.
Turning from face to heel or heel to face is a big moment for a wrestler regarding impactful moments, storytelling, and audience reception. These turns are important because, if handled properly, they could propel a wrestler to greatness or set them up for doom.
Check out the list of all the WWE superstars who turned heel or face in WWE in 2024.

In 2022, I’d like to see Mandy Rose turn face, after getting blasted with a shovel by Dakota Kai(the shovel shot was intended for Io Shirai). Dakota takes issue with Mandy getting the headlines and after Mandy loses the NXT women’s championship to Io Shrai, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne join Dakota in attacking Mandy. Io comes back and fights them off and gives Mandy a rematch. The feud would continue on the main roster, after Mandy teams with Bianca Belair and wins the WWE women’s tag team championships from the condescending Carmella and the overbearing Zelina Vega. Suddenly, Dakota Kai, Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin show up to challenge Bianca and Mandy, but a newly-crowned Raw women’s champion, Rhea Ripley stands with Bianca and Mandy, making it a 6 woman tag team match(a dejected former Raw women’s champion Becky Lynch would be serving a suspension for her post-match actions, after losing to Rhea Ripley). A new assistant authority figure, Victoria(Sonya Deville is fired and is ordered to return to the ring to wrestle, joining the main roster version of the Robert Stone Brand) bans Carmella and Zelina Vega, entirely from ringside. Rhea, Bianca and Mandy win the 6 woman tag team match as Mandy Rose finishes Dakota Kai with the Bed of Roses move. Afterwards, Rhea, Bianca and Mandy stand with each other, raising their respective championship belts, then greeting the WWE universe fans!!!
Wow you had that one in the chamber
