This list keeps track of the babyface turns and heel turns that happened in WWE throughout 2015.
KEEP IN MIND: When a babyface attacks another babyface, that is usually a heel turn. When a heel attacks another heel, it does not automatically make the victim a babyface. Follow-up booking determines whether an actual turn happened.
Also, sometimes, I update the heel and face index, but not as often as the updates you see below.

PENDING / UNCLEAR WWE HEEL AND FACE TURNS IN 2015:
- March 12 - Mark Henry appeared to shift into a babyface role after his SmackDown interaction with Roman Reigns, but the turn was not built around one clear angle.
- The Bella Twins worked more babyface after Naomi's April heel turn, then shifted back into heel roles during the Paige feud, so that stretch is too inconsistent to list as a clean turn.
- July 19 - The Undertaker worked heelish against Brock Lesnar at Battleground, but the direction was temporary and he was back in a babyface role against The Wyatt Family later in the year.
At the beginning of this year, I made some predictions for who I think will end up turning face or heel at some point. I won't be altering these predictions at all throughout the entire year, so it'll be interesting to see who I'm right and wrong about. Anybody who I'm right about, I'll strikethrough.
