Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 51
It’s the second to final week of 2017, and WWE is slowing things down for the holidays. However, SmackDown did have a pay-per-view and NXT had a amazing show, though it didn’t really effect their Top 10. Next week we’ll be breaking down the final positions for everyone, their best ranks throughout the year, how many weeks they were on the lists, and more.
Top Raw Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Finn Bálor | 24-9-1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Braun Strowman | 20-9-3 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Seth Rollins | 26-17-1 | 3 | 2 |
| 4 | Roman Reigns | 24-15-1 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | Samoa Joe | 18-10-2 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | Scott Dawson | 8-4-0 | – | 6 |
| 7 | Brock Lesnar | 5-1-0 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | Elias | 15-13-0 | 9 (+1) | 3 |
| 9 | Jason Jordan | 20-19-0 | 8 (-1) | 4 |
| 10 | Matt Hardy | 15-14-0 | 10 | 2 |
Fallen off from last week: Dean Ambrose (6)
SAY YEAH! The Revival returned this week, which placed Scott Dawson right where he left off. Unfortunately Dash Wilder was floundering on his own on Main Event so he is still sitting on the outside of the list. Jason Jordan also lost two matches on Raw because he is kind of terrible.
Top SmackDown Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | AJ Styles | 26-16-2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Randy Orton | 22-15-1 | 3 (+1) | 1 |
| 3 | Jimmy Uso | 19-12-0 | 4 (+1) | 1 |
| 4 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 17-10-0 | 5 (+1) | 1 |
| 5 | Bobby Roode | 12-5-0 | 2 (-3) | 1 |
| 6 | Shelton Benjamin | 8-3-0 | 6 | 4 |
| 7 | Jey Uso | 17-13-0 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | Kofi Kingston | 13-10-0 | 8 | 3 |
| 9 | Xavier Woods | 11-8-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
| 10 | Chad Gable | 14-13-1 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Jinder Mahal (9)
Despite going 50/50 this week Randy Orton, Jimmy Uso, and Shinsuke Nakamura moved up a spot. Bobby Roode’s loss at Clash of Champions was apparently that devastating. Meanwhile the year seems to be ending on a perfect note with Jinder Mahal finally falling out of the Top 10.
Top Cruiserweights
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Cedric Alexander | 37-14-0 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Akira Tozawa | 33-10-1 | 1 (-1) | 1 |
| 3 | Kalisto | 23-15-1 | 4 (+1) | 3 |
| 4 | Mustafa Ali | 28-21-0 | 3 (-1) | 3 |
| 5 | Gran Metalik | 20-13-0 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Hideo Itami | 5-5-1 | – | 6 |
| 7 | Jack Gallagher | 22-24-0 | 6 (-1) | 1 |
| 8 | TJP | 20-23-0 | 7 (-1) | 4 |
| 9 | Enzo Amore | 16-22-1 | 8 (-1) | 8 |
| 10 | Lince Dorado | 10-16-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
Fallen off from last week: The Brian Kendrick (10)
Hideo Itami made his debut in the division this week, and apparently it throws everything into chaos as everyone except Gran Metalik moved a spot. Cedric Alexander is the new top cruiserweight, which makes sense since he beat Drew Gulak twice and is the #1 contender to the championship.
Top NXT Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Aleister Black | 13-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Rezar | 9-2-2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 11-5-0 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Akam | 9-3-2 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | The Velveteen Dream | 7-1-0 | 5 | 3 |
| 6 | Angelo Dawkins | 6-0-0 | 6 | 4 |
| 7 | Montez Ford | 6-0-0 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | Otis Dozovic | 7-2-0 | 8 | 6 |
| 9 | Tucker Knight | 7-2-0 | 9 | 7 |
| 10 | Lars Sullivan | 7-3-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Killian Dain (10)
Lars Sullivan won his match to enter the Fatal 4-Way #1 Contendership Match. That’s about all that happened on NXT the pertains to this list, since we still have no idea what the UK division is.
Top Female Superstars
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Asuka | RAW | 16-0-1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Sasha Banks | RAW | 25-17-1 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Ember Moon | NXT | 11-4-1 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Sonya Deville | RAW | 6-2-1 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | Nia Jax | RAW | 20-17-0 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | Bayley | RAW | 19-16-1 | 6 | 3 |
| 7 | Paige | RAW | 3-0-0 | 7 | 7 |
| 8 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 7-5-2 | 8 | 6 |
| 9 | Kairi Sane | NXT | 3-1-0 | 9 | 9 |
| 10 | Mandy Rose | RAW | 2-0-0 | 10 | 10 |
Asuka is the only one to have a match out of these ten women, and of course she won.
Top Jobbers
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev |
| 1 | Curt Hawkins | RAW | 0-31-0 | 1 |
| 2 | Noam Dar | RAW | 9-38-0 | 2 |
| 3 | Ariya Daivari | RAW | 11-40-1 | 3 |
| 4 | Tony Nese | RAW | 17-42-0 | 4 |
| 5 | Drew Gulak | RAW | 12-33-0 | 5 |
| 6 | Bo Dallas | RAW | 4-17-0 | 6 |
| 7 | Mickie James | RAW | 8-19-1 | 8 (+1) |
| 8 | Zack Ryder | SD | 1-11-0 | – |
| 9 | Titus O’Neil | RAW | 5-15-0 | 9 |
| 10 | Dolph Ziggler | SD | 8-18-1 | 7 (-3) |
Fallen off from last week: Cesaro (10)
Despite winning the United States Championship, Dolph Ziggler still hangs on among the jobbers. But that’s to be expected with these midcard titles, since The Miz spent most of the year here as Intercontinental Champion.
