Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2017 Week 50
With only a couple weeks left in the year and the final pay-per-view of the year, things are starting to lock into place. The changes this week make it very apparent that it is a SmackDown pay-per-view on Sunday and Raw is pretty much just coasting for the holidays. Do note that Tribute to the Troops does count for our statistics and have been applied here.
Top Raw Superstars

Despite adding Tribute to the Troops to the Raw superstars’ schedule, no one moved at all here.
Top SmackDown Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | AJ Styles | 24-16-2 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Bobby Roode | 12-4-0 | 1 (-1) | 1 |

| 10 | Xavier Woods | 10-8-0 | – | 9 |
Fallen off from last week: Chad Gable (10)
AJ Styles and Randy Orton did not compete on SmackDown this week, but they did in the main event of Tribute to the Troops and it helped the both move up – including placing AJ Styles back in first. The New Day is also getting back on track with Kofi Kingston moving up (without competing) and Xavier Woods replacing Chad Gable.
Top Cruiserweights
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Akira Tozawa | 33-10-1 | 2 (+1) | 1 |
| 2 | Cedric Alexander | 35-14-0 | 3 (+1) | 2 |
| 3 | Mustafa Ali | 28-21-0 | 4 (+1) | 3 |
| 4 | Kalisto | 21-15-1 | 5 (+1) | 4 |
| 5 | Gran Metalik | 19-13-0 | 6 (+1) | 5 |
| 6 | Jack Gallagher | 22-23-0 | 7 (+1) | 1 |
| 7 | TJP | 20-23-0 | 8 (+1) | 4 |
| 8 | Enzo Amore | 16-22-1 | 9 (+1) | 8 |
| 9 | Lince Dorado | 10-16-0 | 10 (+1) | 9 |
| 10 | The Brian Kendrick | 17-25-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Rich Swann (1 – suspended)
The story with the Cruiserweights is the indefinite suspension of Rich Swann for doing some really bad domestic abuse shit. He was in first place, and with him pretty much gone from the company now, everyone moved up. Aside from that there were no other changes.
Top NXT Superstars
| # | Superstar | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Aleister Black | 13-0-0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Rezar | 9-2-2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Andrade “Cien” Almas | 11-5-0 | 6 (+3) | 3 |
| 4 | Akam | 9-3-2 | 7 (+3) | 1 |
| 5 | The Velveteen Dream | 7-1-0 | 3 (-2) | 3 |
| 6 | Angelo Dawkins | 6-0-0 | 4 (-2) | 4 |
| 7 | Montez Ford | 6-0-0 | 5 (-2) | 5 |
| 8 | Otis Dozovic | 7-2-0 | 8 | 6 |
| 9 | Tucker Knight | 7-2-0 | 9 | 7 |
| 10 | Killian Dain | 7-3-2 | 10 | 10 |
NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas and The Authors of Pain were on full display with NXT airing on USA this week. The Velveteen Dream is still out with an “injury” and the Street Profits were not on this week.
Top Female Superstars
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev | Peak |
| 1 | Asuka | RAW | 15-0-1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Sasha Banks | RAW | 25-17-1 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Ember Moon | NXT | 11-4-1 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | Sonya Deville | RAW | 6-2-1 | 6 (+2) | 4 |
| 5 | Nia Jax | RAW | 20-17-0 | 5 | 4 |

| 9 | Kairi Sane | NXT | 3-1-0 | 9 | 9 |
| 10 | Mandy Rose | RAW | 2-0-0 | – | 10 |
Fallen off from last week: Carmella (7)
Welp, with Carmella falling off this week there are now zero SmackDown women in the Top 10 for the first time ever. You can blame the terrible job they’ve been doing lately by including the entire division in every story every time. The Riott Squad sure hasn’t helped this.
Top Jobbers
| # | Superstar | Brand | W-L-D | Prev |
| 1 | Curt Hawkins | RAW | 0-30-0 | 1 |
| 2 | Noam Dar | RAW | 9-38-0 | 2 |
| 3 | Ariya Daivari | RAW | 11-39-1 | 3 |
| 4 | Tony Nese | RAW | 17-42-0 | 4 |
| 5 | Drew Gulak | RAW | 12-31-0 | 5 |
| 6 | Bo Dallas | RAW | 4-15-0 | 7 (+1) |
| 7 | Dolph Ziggler | SD | 7-18-1 | 6 (-1) |
| 8 | Mickie James | RAW | 8-19-1 | – |
| 9 | Titus O’Neil | RAW | 5-15-0 | 8 (-1) |
| 10 | Cesaro | RAW | 17-27-1 | – |
Fallen off from last week: Konnor (9), Viktor (10)
The Ascension were revealed to be alive this week on The Fashion Files, and apparently this helped them escape the jobber list. And similar to the other list involving all the brands combined, we’re now almost devoid of SmackDown superstars with only Dolph Ziggler remaining.
