Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 49
We have officially entered the final month of 2017, which means we’re starting to see where everyone will fall into for their final rankings. We’re not quite ready to build for the Royal Rumble on Raw and SmackDown continues to set up a very inconsequential Clash of Champions. At least NXT is back at Full Sail and having qualifying matches for TakeOver: Philadelphia.
Top Raw Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Finn Bálor | 21-9-1 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Braun Strowman | 20-9-2 | 1 (-1) | 1 |
| 3 | Seth Rollins | 23-16-1 | 3 | 2 |
| 4 | Roman Reigns | 22-15-1 | 5 (+1) | 4 |

| 9 | Elias | 15-13-0 | 9 | 3 |
| 10 | Matt Hardy | 15-14-0 | 10 | 2 |
Finn Balor and Braun Strowman have yet again traded spots, as it seems Raw alternates which one of them wrestles each week. The opening match on Raw also effected the rankings, as Roman Reigns defeated Jason Jordan in a surprisingly long match.
Top SmackDown Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Bobby Roode | 12-4-0 | 4 (+3) | 1 |
| 2 | AJ Styles | 23-16-2 | 1 (-1) | 1 |
| 3 | Jimmy Uso | 17-10-0 | 2 (-1) | 1 |
| 4 | Shinsuke Nakamura | 15-8-0 | 3 (-1) | 1 |
| 5 | Randy Orton | 20-14-1 | 6 (+1) | 1 |
| 6 | Shelton Benjamin | 7-1-0 | 5 (-1) | 4 |
| 7 | Jey Uso | 15-11-0 | 7 | 5 |
| 8 | Jinder Mahal | 18-15-0 | 9 (+1) | 3 |
| 9 | Kofi Kingston | 12-9-0 | 8 (-1) | 3 |
| 10 | Chad Gable | 13-11-1 | 10 | 9 |
The rankings continue to be extremely close on SmackDown, as a DQ victory by Bobby Roode moves him up three spots into first. Randy Orton’s win in the main event also moved him back into the top five, while The New Day continues to get closer to all being off the list.
Top Cruiserweights
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Rich Swann | 34-10-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Akira Tozawa | 32-10-1 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Cedric Alexander | 33-14-0 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Mustafa Ali | 28-20-0 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | Kalisto | 20-15-1 | 6 (+1) | 5 |
| 6 | Gran Metalik | 18-13-0 | 5 (-1) | 5 |
| 7 | Jack Gallagher | 22-21-0 | 7 | 1 |
| 8 | TJP | 20-23-0 | 8 | 4 |
| 9 | Enzo Amore | 16-21-1 | 9 | 9 |
| 10 | Lince Dorado | 10-16-0 | 10 | 10 |
Things for the most part stay the same in the Cruiserweight division, with Kalisto moving up another spot despite not doing anything.
Top NXT Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Aleister Black | 12-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Rezar | 8-2-2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | The Velveteen Dream | 7-1-0 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Angelo Dawkins | 6-0-0 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | Montez Ford | 6-0-0 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 10-5-0 | 6 | 5 |
| 7 | Akam | 8-3-2 | 7 | 1 |
| 8 | Otis Dozovic | 7-2-0 | 8 | 6 |
| 9 | Tucker Knight | 7-2-0 | 9 | 7 |
| 10 | Killian Dain | 7-3-2 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Alexander Wolfe (10)
Nothing really happened with NXT aside from Killian Dain earning his spot in the NXT Championshop #1 Contender Fatal 4-Way. This win has him back on the list replacing fellow SAnitY member Alexander Wolfe.
Top Female Superstars
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Asuka | RAW | 15-0-1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Sasha Banks | RAW | 25-16-1 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Ember Moon | NXT | 10-4-1 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Bayley | RAW | 19-14-1 | 4 | 3 |
| 5 | Nia Jax | RAW | 20-17-0 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | Sonya Deville | RAW | 5-2-1 | 8 (+2) | 4 |
| 7 | Carmella | SD | 12-10-2 | 6 (-1) | 1 |
| 8 | Nikki Cross | NXT | 7-5-2 | 7 (-1) | 6 |
| 9 | Kairi Sane | NXT | 3-1-0 | 9 | 9 |
| 10 | Paige | RAW | 1-0-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Ruby Riott (10)
Absolution is crushing it on Raw, putting the entire division on notice. Meanwhile the Riott Squad is causing chaos in the SmackDown division that is actually detrimental to it, since now there’s only one face active. Sonya Deville moved up two spots after winning on NXT, but the real symbolism is Paige taking Ruby Riott’s spot on the list.
Top Jobbers
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev |
| 1 | Curt Hawkins | RAW | 0-29-0 | 1 |
| 2 | Noam Dar | RAW | 9-38-0 | 2 |
| 3 | Ariya Daivari | RAW | 11-37-1 | 3 |
| 4 | Tony Nese | RAW | 16-41-0 | 4 |
| 5 | Drew Gulak | RAW | 12-31-0 | 5 |
| 6 | Dolph Ziggler | SD | 6-18-1 | 6 |
| 7 | Bo Dallas | RAW | 4-15-0 | 7 |
| 8 | Titus O’Neil | RAW | 5-15-0 | 8 |
| 9 | Konnor | SD | 1-10-0 | 9 |
| 10 | Viktor | SD | 1-10-0 | 10 |
Everything is staying status quo here, as Drew Gulak’s big win on Raw wasn’t enough to get him moving down. Hopefully 2018 is a big year for him.
