Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 18
This is a weird week in the WWE, as it’s both the week after The Greatest Royal Rumble but also the go-home to Backlash. But the theme this week seems to be tag teams making big moves in the rankings, which is weird since WWE doesn’t seem to handle their tag divisions well.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 15-4-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Matt Hardy | 10-4-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Seth Rollins | 11-7-0 | 5 (+2) | 3 |
4 | Akam | 6-2-1 | 6 (+2) | 4 |
5 | Rezar | 6-2-1 | 7 (+2) | 5 |
6 | Brock Lesnar | 3-0-0 | 8 (+2) | 6 |
7 | Dash Wilder | 10-8-0 | 3 (-4) | 1 |
8 | Scott Dawson | 10-8-0 | 4 (-4) | 3 |
9 | Bray Wyatt | 7-5-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
10 | Bobby Lashley | 3-1-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Finn Bálor (9)
The Revival lost the Breezango of all teams on Main Event this week. Apparently this loss was so devastating that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder dropped four spots. I’m sure it has nothing to do with Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain picking up wins on Raw.
Top SmackDown Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Harper | 10-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 9-2-2 | 2 | 1 |
3 | Rowan | 8-1-0 | 3 | 2 |
4 | AJ Styles | 11-5-3 | 4 | 2 |
5 | Jeff Hardy | 5-0-0 | 5 | 5 |
6 | Daniel Bryan | 2-1-1 | 6 | 6 |
7 | Alexander Wolfe | 2-1-0 | 7 | 7 |
8 | Karl Anderson | 8-8-0 | 8 | 6 |
9 | Jimmy Uso | 5-5-1 | 9 | 9 |
10 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 2-2-0 | 10 | 10 |
There were only three matches on SmackDown this week, so it wasn’t really enough to move anything in the rankings.
Top Cruiserweights
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Cedric Alexander | 15-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Gran Metalik | 15-2-1 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Lince Dorado | 10-2-2 | 4 (+1) | 3 |
4 | Kalisto | 12-5-0 | 3 (-1) | 2 |
5 | Mustafa Ali | 8-4-0 | 5 | 4 |
6 | Buddy Murphy | 4-1-0 | 7 (+1) | 6 |
7 | Hideo Itami | 4-3-2 | 6 (-1) | 5 |
8 | Mark Andrews | 3-2-0 | 9 (+1) | 6 |
9 | The Brian Kendrick | 2-1-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
10 | Akira Tozawa | 6-6-1 | 8 (-2) | 2 |
Kalisto losing to Drew Gulak has him fall down a spot, and the team of Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa suffered a loss that is threatening the future of the team.
Top NXT Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Pete Dunne | 5-1-1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Aleister Black | 4-1-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Lars Sullivan | 3-1-1 | 3 | 3 |
4 | Kyle O’Reilly | 3-1-0 | 4 | 4 |
5 | Nick Miller | 3-1-0 | 7 (+2) | 5 |
6 | Shane Thorne | 3-1-0 | 8 (+2) | 6 |
7 | Velveteen Dream | 3-2-0 | 6 (-1) | 1 |
8 | Hanson | 1-0-0 | 9 (+1) | 8 |
9 | Kona Reeves | 1-0-0 | – | 9 |
10 | Rowe | 1-0-0 | 10 | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Roderick Strong (5)
TM61 had a surprising win this week on NXT over the Street Profits. It’s not the fact that they won, but that cheated by having their feet on the ropes to do it. A heel turn is very much needed to make this team fresh. Also, I still have no idea what the hell Kona Reeves is.
Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | SD | 18-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Charlotte Flair | SD | 9-5-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Bianca Belair | NXT | 4-1-0 | 4 (+1) | 2 |
4 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 4-1-0 | 3 (-1) | 2 |
5 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 2-0-0 | 5 | 4 |
6 | Bayley | RAW | 8-7-1 | 6 | 2 |
7 | Ruby Riott | RAW | 6-5-0 | 9 (+2) | 7 |
8 | Ronda Rousey | RAW | 1-0-0 | 8 | 7 |
9 | Ember Moon | RAW | 4-4-0 | 10 (+1) | 7 |
10 | Sarah Logan | RAW | 4-4-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Candice LeRae (7)
Bianca Belair had an impressive win over Candice LeRae on NXT on her way to moving upward and knocking Candice completely off. Ruby Riott also moved up with a big win over Sasha Banks on Raw.

Not a whole lot to report here, with Kevin Owens losing in a six-man tag match on Raw.
