Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 11
Fastlane is in the rear view mirror, and now it’s a clear path to WrestleMania. But as the card for the Show of Shows materializes this week, the rankings should probably start to further reflect people’s positions on the card… or maybe the people involved in big matches are going to be kept out of the ring so they don’t get injured.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 8-3-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Goldust | 7-3-0 | 2 | 1 |
3 | Finn Bálor | 8-6-0 | 7 (+4) | 1 |
4 | Karl Anderson | 5-3-0 | 3 (-1) | 2 |
5 | Cesaro | 6-5-0 | 8 (+3) | 5 |
6 | Sheamus | 6-5-0 | 9 (+3) | 6 |
7 | Dash Wilder | 5-4-0 | 4 (-3) | 1 |
8 | Scott Dawson | 5-4-0 | 5 (-3) | 3 |
9 | Luke Gallows | 4-3-0 | 6 (-3) | 3 |
10 | Brock Lesnar | 1-0-0 | 10 | 7 |
Finn Bálor picked up a big win on Seth Rollins to jump up four spots, but the big story for Raw is that the tag champions both moved up three spots while all of the other teams on the list dropped. It’s not because Cesaro and Sheamus competed, but because first-place Braun Strowman destroyed everyone else in a battle royal.
Top SmackDown Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Bobby Roode | 7-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Harper | 5-0-0 | 2 | 2 |

4 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 5-1-1 | 4 | 3 |

9 | Fandango | 2-1-0 | – | 9 |
10 | Tyler Breeze | 2-1-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Baron Corbin (9), Big E (10)
This was not a great week for Bobby Roode as he broke his undefeated year, lost his United States Championship, and lost to Jinder Mahal. But he did retain the top position and advance in the Mixed Match Challenge. WWE Champion AJ Styles also moved up a spot after retaining his title and Breezango got a big win on the Kickoff to make it onto the list.
Top Cruiserweights
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Cedric Alexander | 11-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Gran Metalik | 9-2-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Kalisto | 7-1-0 | 3 | 2 |

9 | Drew Gulak | 2-6-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
10 | TJP | 3-8-0 | 9 (-1) | 2 |
The 205 Live roster is starting to feel like an actual show now, as there’s actual moves happening and storylines developing. Akira Tozawa and Hideo Itami continue to flourish as a tag team, and Drew Gulak moved up due to TJP losing on Main Event.
Top NXT Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Velveteen Dream | 3-1-0 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
2 | Alexander Wolfe | 2-0-0 | – | 2 |
3 | Eric Young | 2-0-0 | – | 3 |
4 | Roderick Strong | 4-3-0 | 1 (-3) | 1 |
5 | Akam | 2-1-0 | 3 (-2) | 3 |
6 | Aleister Black | 2-1-0 | 4 (-2) | 4 |
7 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 2-1-0 | 5 (-2) | 4 |
8 | Bobby Fish | 2-1-0 | 6 (-2) | 1 |
9 | Kyle O’Reilly | 2-1-0 | 7 (-2) | 2 |
10 | Nick Miller | 2-1-0 | 8 (-2) | 1 |
Fallen off from last week: Rezar (9), Shane Thorne (10)
Velveteen Dream moved up into the top spot, where he belongs. But Sanity also snuck ahead of everyone else with their win in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic pushing everyone down. The current state of NXT rankings is weird like that.
Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | RAW | 12-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Bayley | RAW | 7-4-0 | 2 | 2 |

4 | Bianca Belair | NXT | 3-0-0 | 3 (-1) | 2 |
5 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 3-1-0 | 5 | 4 |
6 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 2-0-0 | 6 | 4 |
7 | Ruby Riott | SD | 4-3-0 | 4 (-3) | 3 |
8 | Sarah Logan | SD | 3-2-0 | 8 | 3 |
9 | Sasha Banks | RAW | 6-6-0 | – | 9 |
10 | Liv Morgan | SD | 3-3-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
Fallen off from last week: Lacey Evans (10)
SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair made a big move upward after defending her title at Fastlane, but she needs all the momentum she can get as top ranked Asuka is challenging her at WrestleMania. Sasha Banks also found herself back on the list after Lacey Evans suffered a loss on NXT.
Top Jobbers

10 | Curtis Axel | RAW | 0-5-0 | – |
Fallen off from last week: Nia Jax (5), Jack Gallagher (7), Elias (10)
The bottom of the jobber list continues to rotate in and out, but Kevin Owens dug himself even deeper into the hole with another loss in the Six-Pack Challenge. He’s having one hell of a bad year.
