10 Best WWE Win/Loss Records Of 2018 (So Far)
Unlikely names dominate WWE's half-year rankings.
Though raw win/loss records don't always give a true indication of a wrestler's card position, they often make for interesting reading.
50/50 booking and WWE's reluctance to push more than a handful of performers at once leaves dozens stranded in vast sea of 45-55% victory rates. This makes it even more impressive when wrestlers are able to pull away from the pack, but amplifies the misery of guys like Curt Hawkins and Ariya Daivari, who, at 0-14 and 0-16 respectively, have endured torrid years.
2018's in-ring rankings feature a number of surprises, but first, a few criteria. Only main roster wrestlers with more than ten televised bouts are eligible (live event matches weren't considered). All records are correct as of the 12 June episodes of 205 Live and SmackDown, and are ranked by win percentage in order to give a truer reflection of performance.
There are several notable exclusions. Nia Jax's supposed "dominance" is undermined by a 7-8 win-loss record, Roman Reigns is at 10-10, while WWE Champion AJ Styles has won little over half his matches, with 11 wins, 7 defeats, and 3 draws/no contests. Charlotte Flair and Seth Rollins are also nowhere to be found.
Here's who pipped them...
10. Bray Wyatt (W10 - L5 - D0) (Win Rate: 66.67%)
Aligning with Matt Hardy has favoured Bray Wyatt.
No longer positioned as a bumbling jobber to the stars, he has found purpose in Raw's tag division. For Bray, this means less focus, as 'The Deleters Of Worlds' aren't anywhere near the show's forefront. This would normally be a negative, but not for Wyatt, whose character has suffered greatly through burnout and overexposure. Fans just need a break from his spooky nonsense, and that's exactly what they're getting at the moment.
Crucially, Wyatt hasn't lost since 8 March's Ultimate Deletion. Him and Hardy have been on a tear, and ran through low-tier teams The Revival, Titus Worldwide, and The Ascension en route to their Raw Tag Title victory at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Their first defence comes at Money In The Bank, when they face the reborn B-Team. Losing there seems unlikely, though: Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre are clearly being set up as potential challenges, so Dallas and Axel will almost certainly be a mere bump in the road for the Deleters.
Expect Bray's winning ways to continue for as long as WWE see money in the act.
