It is time for another list, more specifically a list that looks at the best wrestlers of 2017. Here is my top ten! What’s yours?
Number 1 – AJ Styles
AJ Styles is often referred to as the best in the businesses, and this has not changed in 2017! Styles can get a good match out of anyone and works the ring like nobody’s business. Styles also has one of the most interesting finishers in the wrestling world – the Styles Clash!
Number 2 – Roman Reigns
Love him or hate him, nobody can deny that Roman Reigns is one of the most discussed WWE wrestlers today. Not only did this wrestler retire the Undertaker, he also beat John Cena and took over the role of “the face that runs the place.
Roman Reigns is also the locker room leader, a title that is not taken lightly by wrestlers. Locker room leaders keep other wrestlers in line and deal out punishment in wrestling court when necessary. Therefore, there is no denying that Roman Reigns is the top dog on the current WWE roster.
Number 3 – Neville
Despite walking out during Monday Night Raw, Neville is the cruiserweight who kept the cruiserweight division rolling. He did a remarkable job as the King of the Cruiserweights, only to be messed around by the WWE afterwards.
Rumors are rampant Neville might be leaving the WWE. One thing I will state, if Neville leaves the WWE, the cruiserweight Division is done.
Number 4 – Braun Strowman
Anyone who can flip over an ambulance deserves to be on this list. Braun Strowman, one of the strongest wrestlers on the roster today, has impressed fans and management alike with his brutality and strength.
Since he left the confines of the Wyatt Family, Braun has been carving a path of destruction through the Raw roster. Beating the likes of Roman Reigns and John Cena; this is one of the WWE superstars with an extremely bright future.
Number 5 – The Usos
The Usos have reinvented themselves as heels this year and it has certainly paid off for them. They recently became tag team champions again by beating the New Day during one of the best matches of the year, the Usos certainly conquered a spot on my list.
Number 6 – The New Day
Whether you want to have a good laugh or experience some creative wrestling matches, the New Day provides both! Their most recent match was the Hell in a Cell match with the Usos, which will go down in history as one of the most creative cell matches of all time. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next!
Number 7 – John Cena
Despite being on a part-time status, John Cena is still one of the most remarkable wrestlers to step in the ring. Like Roman Reigns, he has his fair share of haters, who accuse him of keeping young talent down. Nonetheless, you have to respect John Cena’s work ethic and his ability to engage the crowd. His mic skills are also insane, which means he is still one of the best wrestlers of 2017 in my book.
Number 8 – The Miz
A couple of years ago, the Miz was not taken seriously and mainly used as a jobber. However, since becoming the Intercontinental Championship, the Miz has elevated the title and was involved in some of the most interesting storylines. There has been some happy news for the Miz too this year since his gorgeous wife Maryse is expecting!
Number 9 – Elias Samson
One star on the current roster that has an incredibly bright future is Elias Samson. Even though he is a heel, people always like to see Elias. Through the boos, you can often hear laughter at his latest insulting lyrics. Elias is also visibly enjoying his time on Raw, and has been putting down some excellent matches. I can’t wait to see what is next for Elias!
Number 10 – Asuka
Even though Asuka is not on the main roster, I could not ignore her for this list. More even, the reason why she is not higher is because she has not made her main roster debut yet, otherwise I would put her in the top 3 of this list.
Asuka is still undefeated and the longest reigning NXT women’s champion. Known for an incredible mysterious presence and being a good friend in the locker room, is there anyone who can resist the allure of the Empress of Tomorrow?
