Who can be a real hero?

[Sephiroth]

I pointed out in a thread left night tha WWE has a lack of credible heroes right now, I stand by it. Part of why Cody really was the choice to go over Roman at WM is that Cody is the only honest straight up hero on the roster, or at least the only one who has credibility on that front. When I look at the roster I simply see no one else who can play the role of the white knight to slay the dragon. To give an example; even when Seth Rollins does a face turn, he still plays it so douchey that he doesn’t come across as a hero, plus he’s been such a despicable villain on and off in the still recent past that it would make the audience take him doing another face turn with a grain of salt. The same applies to Lesnar, Lashley, Miz, Balor, and just about every other midcard act. Is there honestly anyone that can play a credible hero?

I don't see anyone obvious on the roster that could step up into that type of role. Cody seems like the only choice right now, and he probably still will do it eventually.

Other options:

Gunther could credibly challenge Reigns, but not as a white meat babyface hero.

Dragunov could be extremely capable as a foil to Reigns as well but, again, not in that conventional WWE hero mold.

Bron Breakker probably fits the top WWE face role as much as anyone but needs more seasoning.


Dark horse pick - Cameron Grimes. He's certainly capable and with the right booking I could see him playing a great underdog to a guy like Reigns.

Sadly there's just not many heroes brave enough to stand up and protect love and peace.
