Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 23
Next weekend we finally get to Money in the Bank and TakeOver: Chicago. Raw spent this week coasting once again since they built the card for the pay-per-view a month ago, while SmackDown at least is keeping the mystery of which New Day member is entering the ladder match. NXT spent this week finalizing their card for Chicago while still putting on some excellent matches along the way.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 19-6-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Matt Hardy | 13-4-0 | 2 | 2 |

9 | Finn Bálor | 15-13-0 | – | 9 |
10 | Bobby Lashley | 4-2-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Dash Wilder (9), Scott Dawson (10)
The Revival sure seems to need one on this Raw roster with how they’re drowning in a mediocre tag division and fell off the list this week. Seth Rollins fell down three spots by thinking teaming with Roman Reigns was a good idea. If the Authors of Pain don’t show up again after Money in the Bank, they may be moved to inactive status.
Top SmackDown Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 11-2-3 | 2 (+1) | 1 |

10 | Alexander Wolfe | 2-1-0 | 9 (-1) | 7 |
Harper suffered a surprising first loss to Karl Anderson on SmackDown this week, and it dethroned Harper from the top spot while moving Anderson up one. Xavier Woods also saw a nice boost after The New Day won in the main event.
Top Cruiserweights

1 | Cedric Alexander | 18-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Gran Metalik | 16-3-1 | 2 | 2 |

9 | Mark Andrews | 3-2-0 | 9 | 6 |
10 | Akira Tozawa | 6-9-1 | 10 | 2 |
Nothing changed this week, especially with the main event of 205 Live ending in a no contest.
Top NXT Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Pete Dunne | 6-1-1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Nick Miller | 5-1-0 | 4 (+2) | 2 |
3 | Shane Thorne | 5-1-0 | 5 (+2) | 3 |

7 | Rowe | 3-0-0 | 7 | 7 |
8 | Kona Reeves | 2-0-0 | 8 | 7 |
9 | Kyle O’Reilly | 3-2-0 | 9 | 4 |
10 | EC3 | 2-1-0 | 10 | 10 |
The Mighty christened their new/old name with a squash victory to move up into the top three. They surpassed the two men main eventing in Chicago, because they had promos rather than matches this week.
Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | SD | 20-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 5-1-0 | 3 (+1) | 2 |

Fallen off from last week: Lacey Evans (8), Candice LeRae (9)
Charlotte Flair and Ember moon both suffered losses on their respective shows and fell behind two NXT stars who weren’t in action this week. Becky getting the win over Charlotte gave her a nice boost up, while Lacey Evans losing to Kairi Sane bounced her from the list.
