Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 24
We finally arrived to the weekend of another WWE pay-per-view. It feels like it’s been 6 months since the last one after the blitz of WrestleMania, The Greatest Royal Rumble, and Backlash. After all of this, we have the final rankings for the superstars heading into TakeOver and Money in the Bank. Unfortunately, this means nothing for the Cruiserweights since they weren’t invited.
Top Raw Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Braun Strowman | 20-6-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Matt Hardy | 13-4-0 | 2 | 2 |

9 | Bobby Lashley | 4-2-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
10 | Finn Bálor | 15-14-0 | 9 (-1) | 9 |
A coupleh of changes are going down in the bottom half of the list, with fan favorites Seth Rollins and Finn Balor falling a spot to make way for Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley. Sort of a bad sign going into this weekend. At least The Authors of Pain may become active again soon since their visa issues have been cleared up.
Top SmackDown Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Harper | 10-1-0 | 2 (+1) | 1 |

9 | Xavier Woods | 7-6-1 | 8 (-1) | 8 |
10 | Alexander Wolfe | 2-1-0 | 10 | 7 |
Shinsuke Nakamura couldn’t help himself and punched Jeff Hardy in the dick to lose his top spot on SmackDown heading into his WWE Championship match. Daniel Bryan also picked up a win to move up two spots as he gains momentum before his terrible match with Big Cass.
Top Cruiserweights
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Cedric Alexander | 18-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Gran Metalik | 17-3-1 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Lince Dorado | 13-4-2 | 3 | 3 |

9 | The Brian Kendrick | 4-4-0 | 8 (-1) | 8 |
10 | Akira Tozawa | 7-9-1 | 10 | 2 |
The Brian Kendrick took another loss in his weird 50/50 booking situation he’s trapped in, and now his record is even. So he well a spot to Mark Andrews who has found a way to remain in the positive.
Top NXT Superstars
# | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Pete Dunne | 7-1-1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Nick Miller | 5-1-0 | 2 | 2 |

10 | Roderick Strong | 7-7-1 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Kyle O’Reilly (9)
Kyle O’Reilly failed to win the UK Championship from the top guy Pete Dunne, and it cost him his spot on the list. War Machine and E3 also picked up wins on NXT TV and they all moved up two spots.
Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | SD | 21-2-0 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Charlotte Flair | SD | 11-7-0 | 3 (+1) | 2 |
3 | Bianca Belair | NXT | 5-1-0 | 4 (+1) | 2 |
4 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 5-1-0 | 2 (-2) | 2 |
5 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 2-0-0 | 6 (+1) | 4 |
6 | Becky Lynch | SD | 9-8-0 | 8 (+2) | 6 |
7 | Ruby Riott | RAW | 9-8-0 | 9 (+2) | 7 |
8 | Naomi | SD | 8-7-0 | 10 (+2) | 8 |
9 | Ember Moon | RAW | 7-6-0 | 5 (-4) | 3 |
10 | Ronda Rousey | RAW | 1-0-0 | 7 (-3) | 7 |
Wow, a lot went down over here, as everyone moved their position outside of Asuka. Charlotte Flair and Biance Belair won matches to move ahead of Shayna Baszler, while Ember Moon took a loss on Raw to somehow plummet four spots. Ahead of her second match in WWE, Ronda Rousey fell to the final spot. So it’s do-or-die time on Sunday to remain on the list.

Fallen off from last week: Bo Dallas (10)
The B-Team continued their roll this week, and the other half finally escaped the jobber list! Meanwhile Kevin Owens continues his climb back up the list and Sonya Deville joins as the only SmackDown Superstar and lady! Not sure if that’s a good thing.
