Fans tend to boo and hate heels in WWE because, after all, that is exactly the point. Heels will commit heinous acts and have unbearable attitudes to earn the hatred of the fans. Some heels generate genuine heat and are truly hated.
Some WWE wrestlers have been getting more fan support than others in recent times. These are currently the most popular WWE Superstars!
But that’s not all, as some babyfaces are also legitimately hated because of their real-life attitude, or perhaps because they are not good enough in the ring or on the microphone, or because they just don’t have the charisma to endear themselves to the fans.

Finn Balor is one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster, and fans admire Balor’s body of work. However, Balor isn’t popular with the fans now as he cost his former Tag Team Championship partner Damian Priest the World Heavyweight Championship in his match with Gunther at SummerSlam 2024.
The inaugural WWE Universal Champion is set to face Priest at Bad Blood 2024 which promises to be an exceptional wrestling match. Balor is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions with fellow Judgment Day stablemate JD McDonagh, and the faction continues to grow stronger with their dominance on Raw.

Despite Jacob Fatu’s arrival, Tama Tonga announced on the September 20, 2024, edition of SmackDown whilst he was cutting a promo that he’s Solo Sikoa’s right-hand man. Tonga has been a remarkable addition to the Bloodline as he’s a fantastic in-ring performer.
Tonga is the adoptive son of Haku, and the cousin and adoptive brother of Tonga Loa. Tama currently holds the WWE Tag Team Championship with Loa after Solo revoked Fatu’s ownership of the Tag Team Championship. Loa is one of the first line of defense of The Bloodline before anyone can get to Solo, and he receives a chorus of boos from the fans.

Grayson Waller made a name for himself in NXT, and he was drafted to SmackDown in the 2023 draft lottery. Waller wrestled Edge in one of Edge’s final WWE matches in 2023 before the WWE Hall of Famer departed for AEW.
Waller’s Grayson Waller Effect has seen him interview some of the biggest stars including the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. However, Waller struck gold when he began teaming up with fellow heel Austin Theory and they feed off each other. The former WWE Tag Team Champions have appeared in NXT recently, and they have their eyes set on the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Liv Morgan was fed up with being a bridesmaid in 2024 as she was the runner-up to Bayley in the women’s Royal Rumble match, and runner-up to Becky Lynch in a Battle Royal to crown a new Women’s World Champion. However, Liv’s patience paid off as she was on her revenge tour, and she finally got the better of The Man at King and Queen of the Ring 2024 to become a two-time Women’s World Champion.
Morgan turned heel, and she became obsessed with Dominik Mysterio. A hotly anticipated showdown between Liv and former champ Rhea Ripley took place at SummerSlam 2024 for Liv’s Women’s World Championship. Dirty Dom finally made his choice as he betrayed Ripley in favor of Liv with Liv retaining the gold, and Liv and Dom shared a kiss afterward cementing her spot in the Judgment Day.

Drew McIntyre is doing some of the best work of his WWE career. The Scottish Psychopath finally turned heel and has mocked CM Punk’s injury. McIntyre finally got his WrestleMania moment as he defeated Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship in the curtain-raiser of WrestleMania 40 Sunday.
McIntyre’s joy was short-lived as he was the victim of Damian Priest’s Money in the Bank cash-in all thanks to CM Punk’s interference. Nevertheless, McIntyre is an outstanding heel and some of the WWE Universe dislikes him for mocking Punk and making fun of other babyfaces.
The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk has been arguably the best feud that WWE has produced in 2024. The scores are leveled at 1-1 with McIntyre prevailing at SummerSlam, and Punk winning their strap match at Bash in Berlin. They’ll culminate their feud in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood which promises to be a barnburner.

Chad Gable knocked on the door in 2023, and he proved how good he was inside the squared circle with some outstanding battles with Gunther over the Intercontinental Championship. Gable could not derail Gunther’s record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign, and he has been in contention to win the title.
On the April 15, 2024 edition of Raw, Gable turned heel after he lost his Intercontinental Championship match to Sami Zayn, and assaulted him afterward. Gable’s obsessed with winning the Intercontinental Championship, and he strongly informed Alpha Academy that helping Gable capture the title was their main focus.
Gable failed to beat Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship and ditched Alpha Academy for American Made. American Made has a lot of promise with The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile by Gable’s side, they feuded with Wyatt Sicks but came up short.

Logan Paul is one of the most detestable wrestlers in WWE history, and he is easy to dislike because of his persona which makes fans dislike him. Paul is cocky and he is confident. However, there is one thing that fans cannot take away from him is that he’s an exceptional in-ring performer.
Paul finally got his hands on silverware when he defeated Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship at Crown Jewel 2023. Paul has a podcast on YouTube and he has appeared in some boxing fights so he has a big profile outside of the professional wrestling world. LA Knight curtailed the Maverick’s nine-month WWE United States Championship reign at SummerSlam 2024.

Unquestionably, Santos Escobar is a fantastic in-ring performer, but he has yet to win a championship on the main roster. Escobar is at his best when he is a heel, and he departed Rey Mysterio’s LWO as he cost him the WWE United States Championship, and he turned on Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Zelina Vega.
Escobar’s new ways are not loved by the fans, but Escobar has gone back to his old “Soul March” theme song, and he has revamped Legado Del Fantasma. Angel and Humberto have joined his faction and Elektra Lopez has once again rejoined the group who are looking to dominate SmackDown.

Jimmy Uso and his brother Jey were the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history at 622 days. However, The Usos split when Jimmy betrayed Jey and cost him the chance to beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Tribal Combat at SummerSlam 2023.
The WWE Universe loves Jey Uso, and seeing Jimmy betray Jey they are not pleased with Jimmy. Jimmy appeared on the September 1, 2023 edition of SmackDown, and he had an interaction with John Cena who laid him out with an AA. Jimmy is now on a singles run as a heel and it’ll be interesting to see how he’ll do without his twin brother by his side.
Jimmy and Jey clashed at WrestleMania 40 in the third all-brothers clash in WrestleMania history. Jimmy lost to his younger twin brother, and he was booted out of the Bloodline by his younger brother Solo Sikoa and new member Tama Tonga.

Sonya Deville was on the shelf with an ACL injury but she returned to WWE in May 2024, but the WWE Universe are not fans of her. Deville was an authority figure on Raw and SmackDown previously, and she plays her role as a heel so well. She is one of the tallest female wrestlers on the main roster and looks the part of a dominating and powerful woman.
Deville won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Chelsea Green, and that was Deville’s first championship in her WWE career. Deville is very good on the mic, and she does a superb job of getting the crowd to hate her.
Her first piece of business, when she returned from injury, was that she was offering her services to Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. The duo were hesitant at first but they sided with Deville, and Pure Fusion Collective was born.

Chelsea Green made her return to the WWE in the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match. Green has been nothing but disruptive, and she has been giving Adam Pearce a hard time. Green’s an annoying heel but she knows how to get the crowd to dislike her.
Green won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with Sonya Deville, but she got injured and Piper Niven has replaced her. Green is playing her “Karen” gimmick to perfection, and she has been drafted to SmackDown in the 2024 draft lottery.

Despite opportunities and regular TV time, Baron Corbin has had a lackluster WWE career. Admittedly, he has failed with each of his gimmicks, perhaps it’s due to mediocre booking, Corbin’s average work, or simply because most fans consider him boring. So, many fans hate Corbin because they are tired of the same boring matches and forgettable storylines, he is always involved in. Not even WWE Hall of Famer JBL could make Baron Corbin work.
Corbin returned to SmackDown in the 2024 draft lottery, and he’s in a makeshift tag team with fellow former United States Champion Apollo Crews. Not many fans are interested in Corbin’s career, but he was doing a good job in NXT when he held the NXT Tag Team Championship with Bron Breakker.

Ridge Holland is a babyface, but fans just can’t sympathize with him. This is because Holland was the one who caused the neck injury to Big E, one of the most beloved wrestlers. Holland has received insults and death threats on social media, as some fans don’t understand that injuries are a normal part of wrestling. Sheamus is super over and Butch has also increased in popularity, but overall, fans can’t get behind Ridge Holland who has returned to NXT.
Holland joined Chase U briefly as he finally won his first championship in WWE as he captured the NXT Tag Team Championship alongside Andre Chase. They dropped the titles back to Nathan Frazer and Axiom at No Mercy 2024, and Holland turned heel again by ditching Chase U.

Karrion Kross’ return to WWE was great at first, as he was pretty cool and looked like he could be a threat to the entire WWE roster. Unfortunately, as the weeks went on fans realized that Kross wasn’t a big deal and his return and feud with Drew McIntyre felt rushed.
Kross hasn’t done much since his return and went from being a threat to just another average bad guy on the mid-card. So, fans hate Kross because they consider him boring and despicable. He’s on the final chance in his WWE career to prove himself as he is the leader of The Final Testament. Kross alongside his wife Scarlett is joined by AOP who returned to WWE for the first time in three years, and their former manager Paul Ellering has aligned with them once more.

Solo Sikoa has been hated by millions of fans since he made his main roster debut, and it’s no wonder considering he cost Drew McIntyre a victory over Undisputed Universal WWE Champion Roman Reigns in front of his home crowd at Clash At The Castle.
Since then, Solo Sikoa has been “the enforcer” for the Bloodline, and his heel acts, including multiple interferences on behalf of his family, quickly made him one of the most hated wrestlers in WWE. Sikoa became the leader of The Bloodline in Roman Reigns’ absence after WrestleMania 40 with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa joining the stable.
Sikoa’s Bloodline has gone from strength to strength as his cousin Jacob Fatu has joined the faction. Sikoa unsuccessfully challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2024, and Roman Reigns returned to the company at SummerSlam. The new Tribal Chief and Fatu clash with Roman Reigns and Cody at Bad Blood in a hotly anticipated tag team match.

Knowing the history of giants in WWE, fans when they met Omos just thought “great, another giant who can’t wrestle”. After a couple of years, Omos has not been able to prove the fans wrong, as he is just another slow, sloppy, boring giant with non-existent charisma and routine booking. WWE tried to elevate Omos by pairing him with a great manager like MVP, but it didn’t work, and the fans still don’t care about Omos and genuinely boo him when he’s in the ring.

The heel turn and storyline with his father have completely changed Dominik Mysterio’s career. In the beginning, Dom generated genuine heat, even generated that “go away” heat, because he was a poor worker both in the ring and on the microphone, not to mention that many think he’s only in WWE because of his father, so people just didn’t want to see him.
Admittedly, Dominik has improved considerably, and now he is quite entertaining, so maybe that “go away” heat is gone, but the fans still hate him, and he is one of the most booed wrestlers everywhere he goes.
Dominik Mysterio beat Wes Lee for the NXT North American Championship, and he is thriving in the Judgment Day. Dirty Dom betrayed Rhea Ripley to be on Liv Morgan’s side. The Judgment Day has been revamped with Dominik, Liv, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Carlito in the faction. Dominik is still one of the most hated wrestlers on the roster, and fans can’t wait to see him get his comeuppance.

Austin Theory is a very talented worker, with the potential to become a megastar and one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation. He has good in-ring skills, and he can cut great promos. Some fans are excited about Theory’s future, but most don’t think about the future because they are too busy booing and insulting him. It will be interesting to see how the fans will react when Theory turns face because right now it’s hard to imagine the fans rooting for him but cracks have appeared in his partnership with Grayson Waller.

“The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax made a one-off return to WWE in the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match, but she made a full-time return to the company in September 2023. Jax has been a force to be reckoned with and she has torn through the women’s division on the Raw roster.
Jax receives a lot of hate from the WWE Universe as she has injured some of her co-workers legitimately. She targeted Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship at Elimination Chamber 2024 and she came up short in an excellent main event. Furthermore, fans enjoy seeing Jax’s shortcomings, and for the first time in her WWE career, Jax is a member of SmackDown as a result of the draft.
The Irresistible Force has been dominant since May 2024 as she defeated Lyra Valkyria to become the Queen of the Ring. Jax converted her triumph into the WWE Women’s Championship by dethroning Bayley at SummerSlam. Jax deserves this push as she’s improved inside the squared circle, and she’s at her best when she’s a heel.
