I was just looking at AEW's roster and man, they are pretty light on heels at the top of the card at the moment. The following are male wrestlers I consider either as main event or upper midcard (that can step into a programme with a main eventer at any time) talent:
Face: Hangman Jericho Christian Punk Cody Mox Danielson Penta Rey Brian Cage Darby Dustin Eddie Kingston Hager Jungle Boy Archer OC Pac Sammy
Heel: Kenny Bucks Adam Cole MJF Andrade Ethan Page Scorpio Sky Matt Hardy Miro Malakai Black Hobbs Starks
That's 19 faces vs 13 heels- feels like a fairly big imbalance. Factor in that Black is basically a face in crowd reaction and the Bucks and Kenny might be taking a step back once the Super Elite storyline finishes up in the next few months and AEW are really thin on top heels.
Could we be looking at a few heel turns to balance it out a bit; or does AEW work as a company with more faces to heels?

Lance Archer and Brian Cage are both possibilities.

Lance Archer and Brian Cage are both possibilities. Archer seems to be aligning with Suzuki-gun stablemate Minoru Suzuki and they appear to be feuding with Mox soon.

If Kevin Owens does come to AEW, he needs to be a Heel.

It's pretty equal when you use something approaching a complete list.

I personally don't understand how Sammy Guevara is not a heel. Dude's got a face for a-punchin' and he carries himself like such a little prick!

I want Christian to go full Christian Cage so bad and just be the f***ing worst person on Earth again like in 07 TNA where he would literally gaslight ppl on TV.

Lance Archer should have never turned heel.
I was thinking that Jon Moxley should have gone full heel, but I think there's potential for matches with the new heels/arrivals. But I think he's going to fully turn on a far off time.

I can see them longterm building to heel classic Christian once his Impact run is done and him turning on JB and Luchasaurus can hurt more.

Since you've written this, Wight has already squashed Marko Stunt, and then helped Jungle Boy beat Miro for the title. Don't look up the results, all of what I said has happened. EDIT How about a side-wager? Who will turn first; Punk or Danielson?

I could definitely see a scenario where Cody turns heel.

I can see Mox going heel. It almost feels like he's on a really slow-burn heel turn already.
I think Pac always works best as a heel because he just radiates mean misery, so I'd turn him back (even if it leads to a split with the Lucha Bros.)

EDIT How about a side-wager? Who will turn first; Punk or Danielson? I know Punk is a great heel, but it feels like he’s just thankful to be around and work with young talent. AmDrag came in and said he can’t wait to kick everyone’s heads in. It feels like an easier path to have him turn and just brutalize a few youngsters like ROH Champion Danielson.

It's funny that Punk's first match back was against a fan-favorite. I feel like they're also skewing towards a Punk v. Sting match too. You may be right, though. Danielson is at his best when not only do I want to watch him kick ass, but more importantly, watch him get his ass kicked. Punk's deal is that he usually tries to reach a peek of popularity, and then pull-the-rug out from under the fans with a heel turn. My heart says Punk will turn heel first.

I could definitely see a scenario where Cody turns heel. A Cody heel turn has to coincide with him reneging on the "I'll never challenge for the AEW World Title" stipulation to be a maximum dick.
