Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 43
Things sure escalated since the last time I wrote this article. TLC was thrown into chaos with the loss of Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns, Kurt Angle had his first WWE match in 11 years, and SmackDown invaded to kickstart the brand war for Survivor Series. With these illnesses, I decided to also move Nia Jax and Neville to inactive since they’re both taking a leave from the company for the time being. Also BRAUN STROWMAN WAS KILLED BY A TRASH COMPACTOR.
Top Raw Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Finn Bálor | 16-8-0 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Seth Rollins | 20-13-1 | 3 (+1) | 2 |
| 3 | Dean Ambrose | 17-14-2 | 8 (+5) | 3 |
| 4 | Jason Jordan | 17-14-0 | 9 (+5) | 4 |
| 5 | Elias | 14-11-0 | 4 (-1) | 3 |

| 10 | Dash Wilder | 8-9-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Braun Strowman (1 – DEATH), Roman Reigns (6 – Illness), Bray Wyatt (10 – Illness)
I DON’T THINK PEOPLE ARE MAKING A BIG ENOUGH DEAL ABOUT BRAUN STROWMAN BEING MURDERED DURING A MATCH. Along with Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt being put on the shelf, Raw is in rough shape up the bottom of the list is filled with people with losing records. Yikes!
Top SmackDown Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 14-7-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Bobby Roode | 10-3-0 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Randy Orton | 18-12-1 | 4 (+1) | 1 |
| 4 | Jimmy Uso | 15-9-0 | 3 (-1) | 3 |
| 5 | AJ Styles | 20-15-2 | 7 (+2) | 2 |
| 6 | Jey Uso | 14-9-0 | 5 (-1) | 5 |
| 7 | Shelton Benjamin | 5-0-0 | 10 (+3) | 7 |
| 8 | Jinder Mahal | 18-14-0 | 8 | 3 |
| 9 | Big E | 11-7-0 | 9 | 1 |
| 10 | Kofi Kingston | 10-6-0 | 6 (-4) | 3 |
AJ Styles had a busy week with matches on TLC and Raw as he competed in two matches and was a mole for SmackDown’s invasion. Randy Orton won in the main event to qualify for Survivor Series and move up a spot, while Shelton Benjamin continues to move up with his undefeated streak.
Top Cruiserweights
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Akira Tozawa | 28-8-1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Rich Swann | 27-10-0 | 3 (+1) | 2 |
| 3 | Cedric Alexander | 27-12-0 | 4 (+1) | 3 |
| 4 | Mustafa Ali | 25-17-0 | 5 (+1) | 4 |
| 5 | Jack Gallagher | 22-17-0 | 6 (+1) | 1 |

| 7 | Kalisto | 15-12-1 | 8 (+1) | 7 |
| 8 | TJP | 20-23-0 | 10 (+2) | 4 |
| 9 | The Brian Kendrick | 16-19-0 | 9 | 2 |
| 10 | Lince Dorado | 10-16-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Neville (2 – Walked out)
Things continue to be bad for the Cruiserweights, as the loss of Neville put Lince Dorado, who has a -6 record, onto their top 10.
Top NXT Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Aleister Black | 11-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Drew McIntyre | 8-0-1 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Rezar | 8-1-1 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | Akam | 8-2-1 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | The Velveteen Dream | 6-0-0 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Alexander Wolfe | 6-1-2 | 6 | 5 |
| 7 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 9-5-0 | – | 7 |
| 8 | Killian Dain | 6-2-2 | 7 (-1) | 4 |
| 9 | Otis Dozovic | 6-2-0 | 8 (-1) | 7 |
| 10 | Tucker Knight | 6-2-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
Fallen off from last week: Angelo Dawkins (10)
Andrade “Cien” Almas is getting his long overdue NXT Championship title shot, and his momentum carries over to the rankings as he re-debuts on the list in the seventh spot. We’ll have to see if he can take down Drew McIntyre’s undefeated streak at TakeOver.
Top Female Superstars
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Asuka | RAW | 9-0-1 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Sasha Banks | RAW | 23-15-0 | 1 (-1) | 1 |
| 3 | Ember Moon | NXT | 8-4-1 | 5 (+2) | 3 |
| 4 | Bayley | RAW | 16-13-0 | 3 (-1) | 3 |
| 5 | Carmella | SD | 12-9-2 | 4 (-1) | 1 |
| 6 | Sonya Deville | NXT | 4-1-1 | 7 (+1) | 4 |
| 7 | Naomi | SD | 12-10-1 | 6 (-1) | 1 |
| 8 | Peyton Royce | NXT | 8-6-1 | 9 (+1) | 8 |
| 9 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 6-4-2 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
| 10 | Kairi Sane | NXT | 1-0-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Nia Jax (8 – Time off)
Asuka’s start on the main roster is off to a rocky start booking-wise, but she’s still winning. Two wins this week put her back into the top spot, while a lot of other movement went down as everyone clashed to become the team captains for Survivor Series.
Top Jobbers

Fallen off from last week: Bo Dallas (7 – Illness), Luke Harper (10)
The last remaining Bludgeon Brother on this list is off, as well as a quarantined Bo Dallas. In their place are Asuka’s personal jobber and the Intercontinental Champion. That belt sure is doing well.
