According to a list created internally by WWE, these are the top babyfaces and heels in WWE and AEW and Lesnar is the greatest omission.
From a list that was leaked this week by PWInsider, the top ten babyfaces, and heels for the WWE and AEW have been identified. As of this writing, tag teams are not listed, but we will keep you informed. According to a list created internally by WWE, these are the top babyfaces and heels in WWE and AEW. Brock Lesnar is the greatest omission in this. Lesnar is not mentioned on any depth chart, but there is a separate list of performers who are better than the heels and babyfaces listed there, and Lesnar is on that list.
Some people might find it surprising that Bobby Lashley is the leading villain, but this is consistent with a previous rumor that claimed WWE intended to make Lashley a heel. It’s also interesting to observe that Damage CTRL was at the top of the list for red-brand female heels, whereas The Judgment Day is completely absent from this list. There is no mention of Finn Balor, Damian Priest, or Dominik Mysterio, however, Rhea Ripley of The Judgment Day made the roster of female wrestlers. Here’s take a look into the list of babyfaces and heels in the history of WWE and AEW.

The introduction of the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship has made it difficult for new challengers to gain momentum and rise to the top of the company. As a result, many of the company’s leading stars struggle to consistently stay in the mid-card. But Bianca Belair stood out as Raw’s top babyface her champion. Her EST in WWE has been doing great since the elimination chamber. Her year-long feud with Becky Lynch led to an incredible match at WrestleMania 38 and a huge success at SummerSlam. In recent months, the run-in with Damage CTRL has been a highlight for WWE’s flagship brand. This significant stretch has cemented Belair as the perfect role model and competitor to beat for his 2023 season.
Jon Moxley is a strong contender for Wrestler of the Year. His first three-time AEW World Champion has consistently delivered when the company needed him. In 2022 he was the flag bearer for AEW and he couldn’t have been better than Mox. In June, he headlined “Forbidden Door” with Hiroshi Tanahashi. He later gave up a well-deserved vacation to lead the dressing room through the tumultuous post-All Out era. The 37-year-old also provided some top-notch matches and attractive promotions. He shocked the world and gave CM Punk his most devastating loss since his AEW debut. Mox is no ordinary good man. That’s what makes him so interesting. He has a unique swagger and the ability to convincingly blur the line between heel and babyface.
AEW won gold in Pac in 2019. The bastard broke down in his first year with the company. Unfortunately, England’s high-flyer appearances were sporadic during his next two years for a variety of reasons, and he fell out of the cover picture. Thankfully, Puck finally seems to be back on the positive path. The 36-year-old turned in a great performance at his door in the Forbidden and became the inaugural All-Atlantic champion. He then successfully defended his mantle around the world before he and the Lucha Brothers secured the vacant trio titles on the September 7 episode of Dynamite. The two-time champion Puck turned back and delivered the best performance of his life. On October 7, he defended both titles in back-to-back matches. Yet his longtime feud with Orange Cassidy finally came to a head when the dominant star was defeated and won his first singles gold medal at AEW. Death Triangle tied with the Elite in the Best of Seven series after an upset victory over a team returning in full gear. Puck’s influence on Ray Phoenix and Penta El Zero Miedo was an interesting development that could bring even more in 2023.
There’s some tough competition out there, but Maxwell Jacob Friedman might be the best heel in professional wrestling. Many hardcore fans want to cheer in high heels, so creating genuine animosity like MJF. is difficult. Nonetheless, Burberry’s scarf-wearing devil continues to be creative, questioning everything we think we know. As a successful wrestler, it was a godsend in 2022. His promotional and character work has improved significantly, showing off both in his critically acclaimed feud with CM Punk. Salt of the Earth also contributed to Wardraw’s rise in popularity before Double or Nothing. On the next episode of Dynamite, he erupted in a biting tirade before taking a short break, leaving fans wondering what happened next. It’s a testament to how good he is. His segments with William Regal were great. As with his interactions with Punk, they were full of clever references and excellent callbacks to knowledgeable fans.
Roman Reigns has a tight schedule this year, but he’s still one of the brightest stars in the industry. Tribal his chief helms his WWE as the reigning champion of the modern era. His historic reign, unparalleled star power, and formidable stability dominate his SmackDown. Due to his popularity, it can be difficult to call the Samoan star a true heel. Although he is often admired, his striking looks and self-important motives make him a definite villain. Yes, he can be charming, but he’s also a ruthless narcissist who will do anything to defend his position. His leadership in the league has participated in critically acclaimed matches against Lesnar on his block and Logan on his pole. Nonetheless, his compelling character work with Bloodline and Sami Zayn is currently the hottest act in professional wrestling.
