He has had pretty much the perfect heel turn, partially because as far as I'm aware (I've missed an episode or two) he never 'turned,' he just got booed enough that he started wrestling faces.
He hasn't changed a thing about his character. Like many of the very best turns, he is the same guy, just wrestling people of the other alignment. Instead of soaking in the cheers that largely weren't there, he soaks in the boos. He still has that petulant look on his face (which now makes perfect sense), and a kinda badass finisher. His entrance, which was always cool, now makes him seem up his own ass, and adds to his character.
I've always found him weirdly unlikable, but now that I am allowed to not like him... I can't wait for him to show up, because he gets actual heat from me, and so few heels do that these days. I want to see him lose. And he's on a winning streak, so I never know when that will be. I want to see what Joe can get out of him.
I've ended up kinda marking out for Baron Corbin. Never thought that would happen.

Helps that Corbin isn't cutting "I hate the WWE NXT Universe" heel promos or anything, proving that it is possible to have a heel who doesn't resort to telling the fans that they suck to get heat.

I just love this whole "I'm a a big hoss, and big hosses are winners and get paid. So there!" sense of entitlement gimmick.

He definitely works better as a heel. It also helps that he is going up against a big guy like Joe rather than just squashing jobbers every week.
Also his finisher is awesome.

I'm glad he could hit the finish on Joe. I wasn't really sure he could.

I think when he gets called up it'll be as a Tomko/Tyrus type bodyguard for a smaller heel (Miz?).

He's got a natural smugness about him. Like he's insulted that someone would actually step up to him. I like that.

Does anyone know when exactly he turned heel? I thought he was the face during the build up to his match with Rhyno, but then he was suddenly a heel during the match. I never quite followed how that happened.

I never quite followed how that happened. It was an "NXT turn" so to speak. Where the guy only changes subtle things and starts getting booed. They did the same to Adrian Neville a while back. |

Corbin could be awesome if they actually tried to develop his character. And by that, I mean GIVE HIM A DAMN CHARACTER. I don't know what I'm supposed to think about this guy when he comes out. He has a cool finisher, he can beat jobbers, but he struggles with the regular roster...Okay, so what? Why do I care if he's facing Samoa Joe?
He's just there right now. He's nothing, nobody, just a guy who squashes jobbers. He has a TON of potential, and maybe could one day be a huge heel figure, but right now, he desperately needs something to make me give a damn.
