Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 15
If you were living under a rock (or spending the weekend in Boston for PAX East), WrestleMania Week has come and gone. After too many days in New Orleans, WWE emerges with a lot of people losing in battle royals and a few NXT graduations. Things will get even crazier next week with the Superstar Shakeup completely changing up the layout of these articles. So here is our last look at the rankings with the current rosters.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 11-4-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Dash Wilder | 9-5-0 | 2 | 1 |
3 | Scott Dawson | 9-5-0 | 3 | 3 |

The Authors of Pain made their main roster debut on Raw and immediately mark their spots on the rankings. Matt Hardy winning the Andre Battle Royal gave him a nice boost, and Brock Lesnar getting his second win of the years puts him in a good spot to stick around for a while… until he loses at the end of the month.

Ronda Rousey had a stellar debut at WrestleMania, and made her debut on this list alongside the return of new Raw superstar Ember Moon. Shayna Baszler moved up into second with her NXT Women’s Championship win, but the biggest story is Asuka having a 1 in her loss column for the first time since that battle royal in NXT a couple years ago.
