WWE 2K18: Predicting All 130 Superstar Ratings
90. Sheamus: 83
Last year's rating: 83
Just like his partner Cesaro, not much has changed for Sheamus other than he's in a tag team. The Celtic Warrior is still as hard-hitting as he's always been and has been part of his fair share of great matches over the last 12 months as well.
89. Stephanie McMahon: 100
Last year's rating: 79
Just kidding! While Stephanie McMahon the manager was ranked lower that Stephanie McMahon the wrestler, complete with SummerSlam 2014 attire; I expect her rating to stay the same. She hasn't wrestled since then, so how could it change I ask you?!
88. The Miz: 87
Last year's rating: 85
The Miz is fantastic. We've all realised that over the last 12 months, haven't we? Just as his appreciation levels within WWE have risen, so should his rating in WWE 2K18.
We've known for a few years now that his in-ring work is now capable of hanging with the best on the roster today. And we've also known for a long old while that his promos are as consistent as they come. He's just great isn't he.
I swear I don't stalk The Miz in my spare time...
87. Titus O'Neil: 72
Last year's rating: 75
You have to believe that Titus' rating was so high last year due to the faint memory of the Prime Time Players and the success they enjoyed.
With that well in the past now however, and with Titus merely in a managerial role with Titus Worldwide today on RAW, I'd expect his in-ring rating to fall accordingly.
86. TJP: 79
Last year's rating: n/a
If I'm giving Neville an 84 (when in terms of the Cruiserweights he should really be a 99) I can't be giving anyone else anywhere near that score.
TJP is the first 'purple' WWE Cruiserweight Champion and nobody can take that away from him. I though all the dabbing and whatnot as a face was cringeworthy but works better with his heel schtick. He is arguably in the top three in the division, but that's still some way behind top dog Neville.
85. Aiden English: 74
Last year's rating: 70
Aiden's gone from being an absolute abomination on the main roster as part of the Vaudevillians to somebody who can hold their own against other lower card talent... I guess that's praise....
Plus, his pipes are fire so since he's been allowed to showcase them once again on WWE television a ratings increase is a must.
84. AJ Styles: 91
Last year's rating: 89
He's the Face That Runs The Place and the man that keeps defying all of our expectations. He's small (relatively), he's southern, but his unparalleled talents in a WWE ring has seen him become arguably the most revered professional wrestler on the planet over the last 12 months so that should be reflected in his rating on WWE 2K18.
83. Baron Corbin: 87
Last year's rating: 80
Baron Corbin is a bastard. He's also Mr Money In The Bank and looks like being the next top heel on SmackDown Live so his rating should reflect this.
He's not quite in the elite bracket just yet, but the way things are going he will be in the next couple of years or so.
82. Becky Lynch: 83
Last year's rating: 83
The Irish Lass Kicker is the first ever SmackDown Live Women's Champion and between the ropes is up there with the cream of the crop on both brands. However, in terms of the booking she's been afforded and whatnot she's been off the boil for a while now so I wouldn't expect to see her rating increase.
81. Big E: 85
Last year's rating: 85
The New Day show no signs of getting stale as they regained Tag Team gold, or silver, with SmackDown's championships at the recent Battleground event; a decision that was fully backed by the WWE Universe.
Since they've showed no real signs of slowing down, even if they haven't really done too much in the way of show-stealing wrestling in recent months, I'd expect two of the three members to have their ratings stay as they are.
