The 10 Relevant Babyfaces in WWE RIGHT NOW

I was just looking over this block and immediately noticed that the most recent post - my revision from the "4 relevant babyface rule" to the "2 relevant babyface rule (per hour)" stands true even 2 years after I made the post.  Check this out:

PRIMARY
John Cena
Roman Reigns
Dean Ambrose
Randy Orton

Secondary
Dolph Ziggler
Ryback

Tertiary
Neville
R-Truth

Quaternary
Darren Young
Titus O'Neil

Kind of odd how consistent WWE is, isn't it?  There are very few other babyfaces on the roster and the list of names consists of jobbers (Zack Ryder) and comedy acts (Macho Mandow/Axelmania) with no truly "relevant" names remaining.  You look at the heel side though and the deck is absolutely stacked (or, as Orton would say, the dack is absolutely stecked) with names from top to bottom.  Seth Rollins, Kane and Big Show are all in the same, main event level, "PRIMARY" faction.  Kevin Owens is another one I'd call a "PRIMARY" heel.  You've also got the New Day, three heels whose relevance bounces anywhere from quaternary to secondary.  Speaking of New Day, they recently teamed up with Bo Dallas, so toss him in there as well.  We can't forget Bray Wyatt either.  He's in the PRIMARY section for sure given his recent history.  Top that off with names like Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Bad News Barrett, Mark Henry, The Miz, Rusev, and of course everybody's favorite guy to hate right now, Sheamus.  That's 15 heels - 3 for every 2 relevant babyfaces on the roster.

WWE's consistency is almost as impressive as my ability to observe and over-analyze everything.  If you just can't get enough of my overly analytical mind, be sure to stay tuned to TWitWoW where John (formerly known on YouTube as pacifist299 and VocalAggression) and I discuss Raw, Lucha Underground and NXT every single week, and record our live reactions to PPVs and just about every other major wrestling show we can get our hands on.
