Legit question. He's getting better in the ring, he's becoming more established, he's really going to be a pillar for the company. If you're booking him to be a face, one of those "he's next up guys, don't sleep on him" type of faces, how would you do it? What would work?
The only way I can see it working is it he continues to get better in the ring and he ends up with an amazing performance whether it's in a gauntlet match or something similar to the Gunther match. Maybe he gets his ass kicked so much but he keeps getting back up forcing the crowd to root for him in a loss. Besides that I've got no other ideas because the guy's such a heat magnet.
Dude's probably gonna be a heel for the next 3-5 years.
What would you do?

Should be pretty easy, keep him going as he is but have him defend Rhea from another heel couple so it isn't just some damsel in distress shit. Imagine Kross/Scarlet saying all this shit about Rhea and being complete assholes but Dom comes out and is like "nah i don't f***in' think so". Easy easy.

I think the crowd respects Dom and they are just booing him out of respect. To turn him face though, I’d have him have a redemption arc with his dad (even though he is a deadbeat)

I could see someone yeeting him and him being written off only to come back as a face with a mask.

Redemption arc that culminates in him saving his dad from a big heel group beatdown

You could give him a DNA test and reveal that he's Eddie's kid.

Eventually he has to reconcile with his deadbeat father

Yeah that was my first thought, they cheer her, it'd probably be the easiest way to get them to turn their opinion on him as well

Rematch with Gunther post WM, and model it after Hardy vs Taker in 2002.

Save Rey from a beat down is the most likely way I think.

Something involving him standing up to someone alongside Rhea rather than cowering behind her but more likely reuniting with his deadbeat dad.

Honestly I see him like Owen Hart: fans respect what he can do in the ring, but he takes to a heel persona like a duck to water, where turning him face would be a disservice to him.
If you had to do it, he'll have to be kicked out of, or quit, Judgment Day, most likely saving Rey from a beatdown and reconciling with him.

Probably reunite him with Rey, but still have him act incorrigible and crib from Eddy Guerrero where appropriate.

Loads of babyfaces these days are just heels getting cheered. People will love his gimmick enough eventually that they will just book him against heels without saying anything

Have him break into Seth's house and assault Seth's kid.
What? It worked for Swerve.

You could give him a DNA test and reveal that he's Eddie's kid. just have him watch past smackdown's to find this out, then have him do the "Lie, Chat & steal" semi face turn into full face turn.

In a corporate synergy with WWE's payroll trimming initiative, the part of Dirty Dom will henceforth be played by Tiffany Stratton in a mullet wig. As long as no one tells the dirt sheets, most fans won't notice, but they will instinctively be compelled to fall in love with the new Dirty Dom.

Split him from Rhea then reunite them years later in a Savage/Elizabeth moment. Rhea hoist Dom on her shoulders though.

Don't force it. If he starts getting over with the crowd in a cool heel way like Swerve or MJF did then you can run with it but if not, don't fix what isn't broken.
