I have seen glimpses of what could be a good face run with him keep getting up against Brock at EC last year and his promo with Cena showed he’d be a good underdog type character. If he’s going to be a long term main Eventer he’s gonna need to have a face run at some point. Something tells me he can be a better face than a heel

I think he needs to embrace his inner goofball dork persona again. His new look is money but his no nonsense “I’m the best and I’m also young and good!” character isn’t great.
All the tools on the world though.

If his promo with Cena showed something is he’d be an awful underdog type character

Yeah, the dude is such a goober/dork that when they try to pretend he's not he comes off even more like a goober/dork.
You need to embrace your qualities not hide them. As long as they keep doing this he's going to flat out suck.

He doesn’t have the face to be a face.
He has resting heel face.

It's worth trying sometime, if only because he's a really mediocre heel at the moment.

Dumb heel Austin Theory is the way to go. He’s not as dumb as the character Homer Simpson but I think he’s got to be the dumbest heel compared to the other heels but that’s not saying much. The guy is talented though and tough. |

I can't buy him as a face unless they give him a complete personality transplant. He's just a punchable-looking guy, and any hint of cockiness or confidence amplifies that.
I'd say their best bet is to lean into him being an old-school chickenshit heel. Does WWE ever do that right anymore? I want to see a guy getting into all kinds of trouble with his mouth and then begging and pleading not to have his ass beat.
