10 AEW Wrestlers Who Were Babyfaces For Most Of Their Careers
Ava Bailey Most professional wrestlers change their character every once in a while. Wrestlers like Chris Jericho have revitalized their career a time or two by doing the exact same thing while someone like The Big Show has done the opposite and become a meme by flipping back and forth so many times. Wrestlers changing something like if they are a face or heel can make fans not get tired of them.

It happens way too often when someone is the same for a long period of time and fans start to turn against them. Luckily it doesn't always happen, and some stars can keep a good track record going without having to revamp themselves all the time. All Elite Wrestling has its fair share of wrestlers that have been able to consistently stay either babyface or heel and not be forced to change all the time. Here are some AEW wrestlers that were babyfaces for most of their careers.
10 "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry
Jungle Boy hasn't had the longest career just yet but what he has worked on has been a consistent babyface in AEW. Whether he was teaming with Luchasaurus or his long-running feud against Christian Cage. Fans have yet to be requesting a heel turn from the pillar of AEW and seem like he is going to have a fruitful career going on.
Jungle Boy had a great run with Luchasaurus to start his All Elite career but is now starting off on a great foot for his solo run after putting things to an end with rival Christian Cage.
9 Fuego Del Sol
Fuego Del Sol started his AEW tenure by being an enhancement talent to help get over stars like Miro and The Varsity Blonds. He would soon start getting over with the fans due to his personality and wrestling style. His friendship with Sammy Guevara would help him get a storyline where he was fighting for an AEW contract.
His popularity also seemed to rise when he was wrestling on AEW Dark alongside a masked Cody Rhodes under the name Fuego 2, making the team Too Fast Too Fuego.
8 Top Flight
The brother tag team of Dante and Darius Martin haven't found the most success while working in AEW but have been able to get extremely over with the crowd. Darius has had a few injuries plague him during his run but AEW wouldn't give up on the act and let Dante have a decent solo run while his brother was out.
When they are together, the brothers can typically be seen stealing the show with their impressive athletic capabilities and super quick offensive style. The team has yet to portray villains on AEW television due to how loved they are by fans.
7 Kris Statlander
Kris Statlander would spend the majority of her career as "The Galaxy's Greatest Alien" getting over with the AEW crowd and eventually joining alongside Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends. Statlander has since changed her character from the former alien gimmick she had and became a little bit more aggressive and serious but maintains her babyface status.

Statlander is currently out due to a knee injury that she obtained on Dark but whenever she returns to full-time competition she might be looking to change up her character a bit more and revitalize her career.
6 Orange Cassidy
Orange Cassidy has been portraying this nonchalant character who wrestles with his hands in his pockets for large portions of a match, so it would be hard for that character to be a heel. Since working with All Elite Wrestling back in 2019, he has been a babyface for his entire tenure.
Orange Cassidy quickly became one of the most over workers in the promotion and got the opportunity to feud with superstars like Chris Jericho and PAC. Just like Statlander, his work with The Best Friends faction has been well-loved by a majority of the audience.
5 Darby Allin
Despite Darby Allin's skull face paint and look would make most think he is a bad guy at first, his entire time with AEW he has been leaning more towards a babyface. Allin would start his career with AEW by feuding with the likes of Brian Cage and Team Taz while being accompanied by his mentor/partner Sting.
His time with Sting has seen him reach much success with a couple of TNT Championship reigns under his name. Allin has been positioned as one of the pillars of the promotion and seems to have a long career to look forward to with his daredevil wrestling style and unique look.
4 Sting
While working in promotions like WCW and Impact Wrestling, Sting has tried to have brief runs as a heel, but they never seem to work or last long, and he is quickly back to being the good old babyface everyone knows him for. Sting has had one of the longest careers of anyone in AEW and a majority of the time he was one of the biggest faces in the company.
While he does seem to be reaching the end of his career, it doesn't seem he will be making any major changes to his character due to how popular he is among the entirety of the wrestling fanbase.
3 Adam Page
Adam Page would start his career like most working smaller indy shows in multiple places. His time with Ring of Honor would see Page switch between face and heel on a few different occasions before he made a more permanent switch to heel by joining the Bullet Club.

Page would stay with the faction for a few years before most of the group made the move over to AEW and Page would quickly be positioned as one of the promotion's top faces and getting World Title opportunities against Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega.
2 Keith Lee
Keith Lee has been a face in almost every promotion he worked for, his time with Ring of Honor saw his only real run as a heel when he was tagging with Shane Taylor as the "Pretty Boy Killers". Making the move to Evolve saw him become a face and eventual champion of the promotion before he would be called to WWE.
His entire career with WWE saw him portrayed as a face, and he would continue that trend when leaving the company and making his way to AEW. He would be the face half of an arguing tag team alongside former NXT alumni Swerve Strickland.
1 Willow Nightingale
Only wrestling since 2015, Willow Nightingale has made quick work of the business and has started to make consistent appearances with All Elite Wrestling and has had some massive opportunities with the promotion. Starting off working shows like Dark and Elevation, she would quickly start to feud with TBS Champion, Jade Cargill, and soon sign a contract with AEW.
During this time she also appeared on Ring of Honor shows and get to work with Mercedes Martinez for the interim ROH Women's World Championship at Supercard of Honor. She is currently part of a main storyline with Saraya, Ruby Soho, and Toni Storm on Dynamite serving as the lovable face trying to fight off the heel faction.
