Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 17
This edition of our statistics tracking article is a bit late, due to having to tabulate over 50 superstars for the Greatest Royal Rumble event. Our thoughts on Saudi Arabia are already all over the site, so I don’t need to go into it again here. Let’s just get into the second week of the newly shaken-up rosters.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 14-4-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Matt Hardy | 10-4-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Dash Wilder | 10-7-0 | 4 (+1) | 1 |
4 | Scott Dawson | 10-7-0 | 5 (+1) | 3 |
5 | Seth Rollins | 10-7-0 | – | 5 |
6 | Akam | 5-2-1 | 6 | 6 |
7 | Rezar | 5-2-1 | 7 | 7 |
8 | Brock Lesnar | 3-0-0 | 10 (+2) | 7 |
9 | Finn Bálor | 12-10-0 | 8 (-1) | 1 |
10 | Bray Wyatt | 7-5-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Bobby Roode (3), Goldust (9)
Braun Strowman was the only one to come out of the Greatest Royal Rumble match with a victory, keeping his top position and gaining a green belt that no one knows how he defends. Matt Hardy remains in second, but Bray Wyatt joins the list after the two won the vacant Raw tag titles. Seth Rollins also made a huge debut after a couple wins as Intercontinental Champion.
Top SmackDown Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Harper | 10-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 9-2-2 | 4 (+2) | 1 |
3 | Rowan | 8-1-0 | 3 | 2 |
4 | AJ Styles | 11-5-3 | 2 (-2) | 2 |
5 | Jeff Hardy | 4-0-0 | 5 | 5 |
6 | Daniel Bryan | 2-1-1 | 7 (+1) | 6 |
7 | Alexander Wolfe | 2-1-0 | 8 (+1) | 7 |
8 | Karl Anderson | 8-8-0 | 6 (-2) | 6 |
9 | Jimmy Uso | 5-5-1 | – | 9 |
10 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 2-2-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Eric Young (9), Samoa Joe (10)
Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles traded places again after Nakamura and Rusev Day won the main event on SmackDown. The weird thing here is the yet-to-be debuted Andrade Almas moving onto the list to replace the yet-to-debut Eric Young. But that’s because Young lost on NXT since he’s still on there as of this taping.
Top Cruiserweights
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Cedric Alexander | 15-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Gran Metalik | 14-2-1 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Kalisto | 12-4-0 | 3 | 2 |
4 | Lince Dorado | 9-2-2 | 4 | 4 |
5 | Mustafa Ali | 8-4-0 | 5 | 4 |
6 | Hideo Itami | 4-2-2 | 6 | 5 |
7 | Buddy Murphy | 3-1-0 | 7 | 7 |
8 | Akira Tozawa | 6-5-1 | 8 | 2 |
9 | Mark Andrews | 3-2-0 | 9 | 6 |
10 | The Brian Kendrick | 1-0-0 | 10 | 10 |
Nothing happened.
Top NXT Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Pete Dunne | 4-1-1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Aleister Black | 6-4-1 | 4 (+2) | 2 |
3 | Lars Sullivan | 3-1-1 | 3 | 3 |
4 | Kyle O’Reilly | 3-1-0 | 5 (+1) | 4 |
5 | Roderick Strong | 3-1-0 | 2 (-3) | 1 |
6 | Velveteen Dream | 3-2-0 | 6 | 1 |
7 | Nick Miller | 2-1-0 | 7 | 7 |
8 | Shane Thorne | 2-1-0 | 8 | 8 |
9 | Hanson | 1-0-0 | 9 | 9 |
10 | Rowe | 1-0-0 | 10 | 10 |
Aleister Black demanded a match in the main event when his scheduled opponent was legit murdered by an evil beard man, and the victory helped boost him up two spots. Roderick Strong fell a spot by entering the Royal Rumble.
Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | SD | 17-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Charlotte Flair | SD | 8-5-0 | 2 | 2 |

9 | Ruby Riott | RAW | 5-5-0 | – | 9 |
10 | Ember Moon | RAW | 4-4-0 | 7 (-3) | 7 |
Fallen off from last week: Becky Lynch (10)
It’s hard to talk about the women when this is the week of the Saudi Arabia show. Bayley tumbled two spots and Ruby Riott traded places again with Becky Lynch as they keep dancing on and off the list.

10 | TJP | RAW | 4-14-0 | 8 (-2) |
Bo Dallas had two losses this week to move himself ahead of Curt Hawkins, while TJP’s inactivity was almost enough to get him off of the list. So close.
