A common pick when surveying fans on WWE's most misused wrestler, Finn Balor didn't enjoy a particularly productive 2017, but still found himself in the 'win' column far more often than not. No other full-time Raw wrestler can match his 25-9-1, but the Irishman's situation is clouded by his card position.

Balor's first major loss didn't come until his 10th match, when Samoa Joe choked him out at Extreme Rules. Consecutive falls to Elias and Bray Wyatt put a dent in his summer momentum, and two needless burials at Kane's hands left him stranded in autumn, though one did technically end with a DQ victory. His wins have been relatively meaningless, too. Balor has spent the past few months stuck in a dead-end feud with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel: these victories might pad his record, but the story has kept him anchored in the midcard.

Finn scored plenty of victories, but little had any value. He still has a sizeable cache of goodwill with the fanbase, but this will erode if he isn't pushed up the card soon,
