Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 44
Remember last week when I finally marked off a bunch of people got being ill or taking time off? OOPS! Apparently everyone decided to come back immediately after that, so things shifted back some.

Braun Strowman resurrected from the dead to retake the second spot in both the rankings and the men’s Survivor Series team. Samoa Joe also made his first appearance since August and picked up an easy win to take a solid seventh.

Fallen off from last week: Big E (9)
Another New Day member fell as Big E suffered a loss to Rusev. AJ Styles moved back into the top 3 heading into his WWE Championship match next week, which will likely result in him falling again. Kofi Kingston moved up a spot because apparently his Brother Love costume was too damn good.

Another status quo week for the Cruiserweights, with the only notable change being #1 contender Kalisto moving up a spot over fellow luchador Gran Metalik while the champion is nowhere to be seen.

The Authors of Pain and SAnitY in the main event this week ended in a no contest, so nothing really changed with NXT.
