It might seem stupid for Dolph to turn, but if done right, it won't be. He's over in spite of being a heel and can go. Might be the change he needs. Besides, it is inevetable anyhow. Once he splits from Vicki, that's an automatic face turn. Likely why they're still together when he clearly doesn't need a mouthpiece.
I agree with Miz. His inital outing was being a face, and it was abysmal. His heel turn showed how great of an asshole he could be. I thought a face turn was coming a couple weeks ago when he was on commentary. Fun fact, that's where my "TEXAS CLOVERLEAF, SON!" came from: him calling that Sheamus match. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the only reason he's even still a heel right now is to (initially, before the Punk insertion) put Ryback over, and now with that program not happening between the two, getting Kofi over as a singles competitor again.
R-Truth's initial heel turn was golden, with the no music and the smoking and the angst-filled, heel 101 promos. Although with the combination of Truth's screw up and the subsequent bastardization of "Lil' Jimmy" from a generic term for "Cena fan" to an "actual" invisible child derailed that and made him a comedy act akin to Santino, it was still better than the rap intro every night for 2 years. Not counting when he did the same thing when he first came in and teamed with Road Dogg after the NAO split.
Isn't DiBiase face already? I must admit, I don't know, because I haven't seen him since being Cody's reluctant bag lackey and going on to form the "DiBiase Posse".
I've said before Swagger could go face, and he could do it by unjokingly snapping and becoming a badass submission machine instead of Angle Jr... saying things like his arrogance led him to becoming a champion, but not a GREAT champion, and that he had to remember what made him great to begin with by stepping away and stepping up to PROVE he can be great, bla bla bla. He adds a couple new submissions and shelves the ankle lock. He changes his attire. He cuts less cheezy, smiley promos. He stops refering to himself as an "American" 4 times in a row. He stops doing the showboat pushups. And so on. Change him up completely. Hell, if they did it right, he could stand in the way of the Barrett Barrage.
As far as 3MB... they just got together. They don't need a face turn already, just to solidify their identity as this generation's Freebirds. Jinder could start rocking different color turbans to match his shirts, and Drew-Pac can just keep being himself. They already have the "so zany, this somehow works" vibe of being a band without playing music, clashing accents, and having Slater as their frontman, and if it gets over huge and unexpectedly, THEN they can cash in on a face turn and shirt sales... but to do it too soon just makes them another comedy act. Less D-X, and more "JUST THREE SANTINOOOOOOSS!"
