10 WWE Wrestlers Who Peaked In 2017
As good as it gets.
Have you ever had a moment in life where you thought: this is probably as good as it gets?
It's the same for our favourite wrestlers.
Brock Lesnar has enjoyed one of the most enduring WWE runs of any of his contemporaries, for instance, and yet it is a fairly straight-forward task to pick out the best year of his career (we refer here to 2003 - for most fans, anyway).
It's not that the rest of the Next Big Thing's stint in the squared circle has been, in anyway, unimpressive - but simply that, if you were to map his career out on a line graph, there would be one point that stood higher than every other.
As another example, 2016 was probably the best year that Dean Ambrose will ever have, and there's really no shame in that. He spent most of it in the role of SmackDown's leading man, carrying the WWE Heavyweight Title for months.
By the same token, some of the WWE cast probably enjoyed their best 12 months this year - including one or two who many fans never expected to break through wrestling's famously stiff glass ceiling.
10. Luke Harper
This prediction could come back to bite us if, in 12 months time, the Bludgeon Brothers have become the number one two-piece in all of WWE - but that's about as likely as one of them having a shave.
We can say with some certainty that Harper will probably never again reach a point where some fans (albeit just some) are genuinely talking about the guy as a potential participant in WrestleMania's WWE Championship match.
That's what happened, you may recall, back in February and March, when the estranged Wyatt Brother came just a hair's breadth away from taking on his former master in Orlando (and by hair's breadth we of course mean leg's breadth: there's simply no way he and AJ fell out the ring at the same time).
WWE thought better of an all-Wyatt Family Triple Threat match, though, and Harper - for all his momentum - was instead left off the card altogether. Since then, he's endured a tough time, and things probably aren't likely to get much better under his new (and yet somehow familiar) guise.
