There has been a call internally for WWE to try and create an African American babyface. The idea is to create him both to attract that demographic and to sell merchandise, similar to the role Rey Mysterio has played with the Latin community.

Too bad that DT Porter didn't make the cut...
What about Big Zeke?

Kofi Kingston didn't work out so well, huh?

Kofi Kingston is the guy to market, WWE are just morons

Monty Brown?

Kofi could be rebuilt as a serious draw. He's come pretty close a time or two in the past, but for whatever reason he kept falling through the cracks.

If WWE feels Kofi is damaged goods at this point, I guarantee Titus O'Neil could get over as a strong guy funnyman face. Darren Young sees like mid-card material, but he could potentially fill that role as well. Another option would be to bring Xavier Woods up from Florida.

I think he's back working some indies, but as he's in his 40's now the chances of him getting rehired are unlikely, and the chances of him getting a main event push are next to none.

Titus O'Neill seems like the best bet. Charismatic, solid (not spectacular, but good enough) in the ring, and he's got a good look. Much as I like Big E, that's not a face you want on your PPV posters.

Shelton Benjamin?

Kofi just needs a little more on the mic and he could be the guy...

^my thoughts exactly.

What about Orlando Jor...

I'm sorry, I can't even finish that.

On a funny note, the on my browser for this says, "WWE Looking For African American Baby..." haha

Titus O' Neil
Kofi Kingston
SHELTON FUCKING BENJAMIN


Seriously, three candidates with tons of potential right there..

I thought Mark Henry was in the process of being that.

Exactly what Adbel said. Isn't that what they're doing right now?

I'd say MVP, but he's almost 40 too...

MVP was miles better as a heel.

I never understood the appeal for MVP tbh. He was boring on the mic and he wasn't anything special in the ring, and he had a boring gimmick.

I thought he was very well as a heel. He got a ton of heat and he put on some pretty good matches with Matt Hardy and Chris Benoit.

When they turned him face though, Dear Lord.

He's gotten a ton better in the ring since's he's been in Japan, too.

^So they can bring him back with a stupid gimmick before teaming him with Brodus Clay!

*mutter grumble*

Yeah I LOVED MVP as a heel..

This

Shelton has no mic skills.

But they are speaking about Babyfaces, so Kofi or Titus would be the likely option. Though Kofi too needs to work on his mic skills.

I don't see Benjamin returning. He's wrestling in Japan. But ideally I would have to think either Kofi or Titus.
