Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 19
Backlash sure was a shitshow, as it was a show full of matches from both brands and a couple co-branded ones, and none of it (outside of the first match) were any good. Less spots on the pay-per-views means it didn’t effect the rankings as much as usual, which is a bit of a bummer.
Top Raw Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Braun Strowman | 17-4-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Matt Hardy | 11-4-0 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Seth Rollins | 13-7-0 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Akam | 6-2-1 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | Rezar | 6-2-1 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Dash Wilder | 11-8-0 | 7 (+1) | 1 |
| 7 | Scott Dawson | 11-8-0 | 8 (+1) | 3 |
| 8 | Bray Wyatt | 8-5-0 | 9 (+1) | 8 |
| 9 | Bobby Lashley | 4-1-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
| 10 | Brock Lesnar | 3-0-0 | 6 (-4) | 6 |
The top half stays put, while Brock Lesnar fell to the bottom due to him continuing to be in active. And don’t worry, it wasn’t Bobby Lashley’s promo on Monday that moved him up – he also had a forgettable match at Backlash.
Top SmackDown Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Harper | 10-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 9-2-3 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Rowan | 8-1-0 | 3 | 2 |
| 4 | AJ Styles | 11-5-4 | 4 | 2 |
| 5 | Jeff Hardy | 6-1-0 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Daniel Bryan | 3-2-1 | 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 |
Another week without any movement for SmackDown’s Top 10. It’s as if their big WWE Championship Match ended in a no contest after two people simultaneously kicked each other in the dick.
Top Cruiserweights
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Cedric Alexander | 16-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Gran Metalik | 16-2-1 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Lince Dorado | 11-2-2 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Kalisto | 12-5-0 | 4 | 2 |
| 5 | Buddy Murphy | 5-1-0 | 6 (+1) | 5 |
| 6 | Mustafa Ali | 8-5-0 | 5 (-1) | 4 |
| 7 | Hideo Itami | 4-3-2 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | Mark Andrews | 3-2-0 | 8 | 6 |
| 9 | Akira Tozawa | 6-6-1 | 10 (+1) | 2 |
| 10 | The Brian Kendrick | 2-2-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
Buddy Murphy continues to work his way toward an Cruiserweight Championship match, beating Mustafa Ali on 205 Live and moving ahead of him in the rankings. Also The Brian Kendrick fell a spot after his team lost to The Lucha House Party, who are currently on fire in the division.
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 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Shane Thorne | 3-1-0 | 6 | 6 |
| 7 | Hanson | 2-0-0 | 8 (+1) | 7 |
| 8 | Rowe | 2-0-0 | 10 (+2) | 8 |
| 9 | Velveteen Dream | 3-2-0 | 7 (-2) | 1 |
| 10 | Kona Reeves | 1-0-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
War Machine had their second match and destroyed Heavy Machinery, slowly moving them up the ranks. Velveteen Dream did have a good segment though, but unfortunately it looks like it’s going to lead to a loss which won’t help his position near the bottom.
Top Female Superstars
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Asuka | SD | 18-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Charlotte Flair | SD | 10-6-0 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | Bianca Belair | NXT | 4-1-0 | 3 | 2 |
| 4 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 4-1-0 | 4 | 2 |
| 5 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 2-0-0 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | Ruby Riott | RAW | 7-6-0 | 7 (+1) | 6 |
| 7 | Ember Moon | RAW | 5-4-0 | 9 (+2) | 7 |
| 8 | Ronda Rousey | RAW | 1-0-0 | 8 | 7 |
| 9 | Bayley | RAW | 8-8-1 | 6 (-3) | 2 |
| 10 | Sarah Logan | RAW | 4-4-0 | 10 | 10 |
Bayley continues to be terrible, and a loss on the Backlash Kickoff has her dangerously close to the bottom of the list. Ruby Riott was the victor of that match and moved up, while Ember Moon had a bigger jump upward with her qualifying for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Fallen off from last week: TJP (10)
This is now The Kevin & Sami Show, as Kevin Owens moved up again and Sami Zayn returns to the list. If you thought things would go better for them with a trade to Raw… you would be wrong.
