Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 28
Extreme Rules is this Sunday, so that mean we have the final rankings heading into our second pay-per-view of the co-branded era. There’s some big shifts for the brands involved, and unsurprisingly very little for the ones that aren’t.

Top Female Superstars
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
1 | Asuka | SD | 22-3-1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | Shayna Baszler | NXT | 7-1-0 | 2 | 2 |
3 | Bianca Belair | NXT | 6-1-0 | 3 | 2 |

10 | Naomi | SD | 8-8-0 | 10 | 8 |
Fallen off from last week: Charlotte Flair (5 – injured), Ruby Riott (6 – injured)
Charlotte Flair did not appear in the Lumberjack Match on SmackDown, so it seems like she’s officially inactive, while on Raw they mentioned Ruby Riott’s injury so she isn’t active either. This opened up two spots for Kairi Sane and Natalya, who both got wins this week.
Top Jobbers
# | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev |
1 | Curt Hawkins | RAW | 0-17-0 | 2 (+1) |
2 | Ariya Daivari | RAW | 0-17-0 | 1 (-1) |
3 | Rhyno | RAW | 1-18-1 | 3 |
4 | Heath Slater | RAW | 2-17-1 | 4 |
5 | Tony Nese | RAW | 4-19-0 | 5 |
6 | Apollo Crews | RAW | 6-19-2 | 7 (+1) |
7 | Kevin Owens | RAW | 6-19-1 | 6 (+1) |
8 | Sonya Deville | SD | 3-15-0 | 8 (-2) |
9 | Titus O’Neil | RAW | 4-15-1 | 9 |
10 | Mickie James | RAW | 4-15-0 | 10 |
Curt Hawkins finally achieved the top spot on the jobbers list with his long-ass winless streak. It helps that 205 Live forgot that Ariya Daivari exists. Meanwhile Sonya Deville didn’t compete this week and it helped her drop down two spots.
