Top WWE Superstars & Jobbers: 2018 Week 19

Backlash sure was a shitshow, as it was a show full of matches from both brands and a couple co-branded ones, and none of it (outside of the first match) were any good. Less spots on the pay-per-views means it didn’t effect the rankings as much as usual, which is a bit of a bummer.

8Bray Wyatt8-5-0(+1)8
9Bobby Lashley4-1-010 (+1)9
10Brock Lesnar3-0-0(-4)6


The top half stays put, while Brock Lesnar fell to the bottom due to him continuing to be in active. And don’t worry, it wasn’t Bobby Lashley’s promo on Monday that moved him up – he also had a forgettable match at Backlash.

9Jimmy Uso5-5-199
10Andrade “Cien” Almas2-2-01010


Another week without any movement for SmackDown’s Top 10. It’s as if their big WWE Championship Match ended in a no contest after two people simultaneously kicked each other in the dick.

10The Brian Kendrick2-2-0(-1)9


Buddy Murphy continues to work his way toward an Cruiserweight Championship match, beating Mustafa Ali on 205 Live and moving ahead of him in the rankings. Also The Brian Kendrick fell a spot after his team lost to The Lucha House Party, who are currently on fire in the division.

9Velveteen Dream3-2-0(-2)1
10Kona Reeves1-0-0(-1)9


War Machine had their second match and destroyed Heavy Machinery, slowly moving them up the ranks. Velveteen Dream did have a good segment though, but unfortunately it looks like it’s going to lead to a loss which won’t help his position near the bottom.

Top Female Superstars

9BayleyRAW8-8-1(-3)2
10Sarah LoganRAW4-4-01010


Bayley continues to be terrible, and a loss on the Backlash Kickoff has her dangerously close to the bottom of the list. Ruby Riott was the victor of that match and moved up, while Ember Moon had a bigger jump upward with her qualifying for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Fallen off from last week: TJP (10)

This is now The Kevin & Sami Show, as Kevin Owens moved up again and Sami Zayn returns to the list. If you thought things would go better for them with a trade to Raw… you would be wrong.
