Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 42

This week we have the final rankings for Raw before they hold TLC on Sunday, SmackDown is trying to get together some title matches for television, and NXT is slowly put surely getting ready for War Games. Oh, and Jinder Mahal challenged Brock Lesnar. That happened.

10Bray Wyatt12-11-0(-2)8


The biggest thing to come out of this week is Brock Lesnar moving up into the top half of the list despite having only been in five matches this year. It’s a sign of how the booking is making it hard for superstars to get over in dominating fashion. Two thirds of The Shield also moved up a spot before their big match Sunday while Roman Reigns fall one after losing inside a steel cage.

Not a whole lot moved on SmackDown, despite a good amount of action taking place. All three people in last week’s Top 3 lost, with Randy Orton falling a spot. Meanwhile Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn continue to do great work and will hopefully make their way on here before the year ends.

The Cruiserweight division continues to be baffling, but at least they will be all over TLC on Sunday. Jack Gallagher’s heel turn continues to prove detrimental as he falls down another spot.

Aleister Black won again, and Sanity ended up in a no contest. So nothing really happened this week.

Fallen off from last week: Natalya (10)

It was a busy week for the women, with all but three spots shifting. Bayley, Ember Moon, and Naomi all picked up wins and moved themselves upward while Sonya Deville, who fell three, was the only person who fell due to a loss. Natalya also lost, but since she was on the edge it knocked her completely off.

Ariya Daivari’s partnership with Enzo Amore appears to not be doing much good as he moved up a spot.
