It's not the motif of the wrestler, but their actions that make them heel or face. They are heels like the Social Outcasts (notably Bo Dallas, who is precious and pure) are heels: they are incredibly obnoxious and outrageous, they leave the audience hanging and unsatisfied when they can (classic heel move - see Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens for other examples of this), and, of course, they fight with the babyfaces, like (gag) Chris Jericho. They're like the flamboyant villain everyone loves despite his villainy because he's just so damned fun. Everyone loves a good heel, and the New Day are some of the best.

Randy Orton was face when he went up against Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania last year, and his motif is skulls, snakes, and anger issues.

Wow, that is ridiculously complicated.

I thought wrestling was just dudes trying to out-wrestle each other on mats and now it's got villains and motifs and roles???

Pro wrestling's always been about the theatre. Heroes, villains, dramatic turnarounds by the underdog and all sorts of troperrific stuff.

Oh, honey. Professional wrestling is waaaaay more complicated than it seems. Yes, the basics are two or more people try to out wrestle each in a ring, but the New Day are wrestlers with the WWE, which is a sports entertainment promotion. It's basically a wrestling soap opera, full of ridiculous and wonderful characters (a demon, a deadman, a beast, an inspirational speaker who just wants to be loved, monsters and cult leaders, men and women who betray their brothers and sisters, men who have funerals for a trombone - the New Day - and men and women who can't stop hugging each other), outrageous drama (see the steel chair shot heard 'round the world), and, of course, wrestling too, the best of which often has a story behind the match, like any of Seth Rollins (betrayer of brothers and perpetrator of the chair shot) matches with Dean Ambrose (he who loved and trusted Seth Rollins and was thusly beat half to death by him).

It's got villains and heroes and those in between. The audience itself often takes on a life of its own and can become a hero or villain of sorts just by its reactions to events. It's honestly a wonderful and interesting fandom to be a part of, and I reccomend it even with al, it's flaws.

The wrestling in the Olympics is basically "dudes trying to out-wrestle each other" but when you get into leagues and stuff, it's more of a live stunt show. Of course, there's overlap between the two because the actual wrestling is more or less the same (one of the WWE stars is an Olympic medalist), but it's like being a talented fencer who does stage fighting.

This is a really good explanation--actions, not looks. They are very, very loved, and we boo their dastardly deeds and love them even more.
