Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 49

We have officially entered the final month of 2017, which means we’re starting to see where everyone will fall into for their final rankings. We’re not quite ready to build for the Royal Rumble on Raw and SmackDown continues to set up a very inconsequential Clash of Champions. At least NXT is back at Full Sail and having qualifying matches for TakeOver: Philadelphia.

9Elias15-13-093
10Matt Hardy15-14-0102


Finn Balor and Braun Strowman have yet again traded spots, as it seems Raw alternates which one of them wrestles each week. The opening match on Raw also effected the rankings, as Roman Reigns defeated Jason Jordan in a surprisingly long match.

Top SmackDown Superstars

1Bobby Roode12-4-0(+3)1

8Jinder Mahal18-15-0(+1)3
9Kofi Kingston12-9-0(-1)3
10Chad Gable13-11-1109


The rankings continue to be extremely close on SmackDown, as a DQ victory by Bobby Roode moves him up three spots into first. Randy Orton’s win in the main event also moved him back into the top five, while The New Day continues to get closer to all being off the list.

Top Cruiserweights

8TJP20-23-084
9Enzo Amore16-21-199
10Lince Dorado10-16-01010


Things for the most part stay the same in the Cruiserweight division, with Kalisto moving up another spot despite not doing anything.

Top NXT Superstars

1Aleister Black12-0-011
2Rezar8-2-221

8Otis Dozovic7-2-086
9Tucker Knight7-2-097
10Killian Dain7-3-210


Fallen off from last week: Alexander Wolfe (10)

Nothing really happened with NXT aside from Killian Dain earning his spot in the NXT Championshop #1 Contender Fatal 4-Way. This win has him back on the list replacing fellow SAnitY member Alexander Wolfe.

Top Female Superstars

#SuperstarBrandW-L-DPrevPeak
1AsukaRAW15-0-111
2Sasha BanksRAW25-16-121
3Ember MoonNXT10-4-133

7CarmellaSD12-10-2(-1)1
8Nikki CrossNXT7-5-2(-1)6
9Kairi SaneNXT3-1-099
10PaigeRAW1-0-010


Fallen off from last week: Ruby Riott (10)

Absolution is crushing it on Raw, putting the entire division on notice. Meanwhile the Riott Squad is causing chaos in the SmackDown division that is actually detrimental to it, since now there’s only one face active. Sonya Deville moved up two spots after winning on NXT, but the real symbolism is Paige taking Ruby Riott’s spot on the list.

Everything is staying status quo here, as Drew Gulak’s big win on Raw wasn’t enough to get him moving down. Hopefully 2018 is a big year for him.
