#25 Jinder Mahal – 86

There’s no way the WWE Champion doesn’t make the top 25 list, right? Well, we certainly think so and hence we have Jinder Mahal coming in at 25 with a rating of 86. What a travesty.

#24 Dolph Ziggler – 86

Dolph Ziggler enjoyed a strong second half of 2016 with his WWE title matches against Dean Ambrose and Intercontinental Championship matches against The Miz and even though he has fallen away somewhat recently, he should be making it to the top 25 with a rating of 86.

#23 Chris Jericho – 87

Chris Jericho’s excellent run as a friend and then a foe of Kevin Owens will ensure that he remains at the top of his game and makes it into the top 25 list with ease. We expect Jericho to have a rating of around 87 to reflect his legendary status late on in his career.

#22 Dean Ambrose – 87

Dean Ambrose comes in with an 87 on this list because of his run with the WWE Championship as well as Intercontinental Championship feud against The Miz which has helped bring up the prestige of the IC belt.

#21 The Miz – 87

And, speaking of The Miz, he should also be coming in with a strong 87 to reflect his excellent work as a top heel for the company and great runs with the Intercontinental Championship.

#20 Sami Zayn – 87

The Underdog from the Underground hasn’t quite hit the heights he once hit in NXT but that still doesn’t take away from the fact that he is a very good wrestler. He should be the fourth and final man to be rated 87 in WWE 2K18.

#19 Sasha Banks – 88

With the kind of 12 months Sasha Banks has had – winning the Raw Women’s Championship multiple times, headlining a WWE pay per view and becoming the first of two women to compete in Hell in a Cell along with Charlotte – she deserves her 88 rating.

#18 Charlotte – 88

Next up is Sasha Banks’ nemesis over the past twelves months, Charlotte Flair. She has done everything Sasha has done and has been just as impressive in her accomplishments if not more. She fully deserves her 88 rating.

#17 Alexa Bliss – 88

No one has surprised more in the last 12 months in the Women’s Division than Alexa Bliss. She has gone from strength to strength on the main roster and became the first woman to win both the Raw and Smackdown Live Women’s Championships.

#16 Jeff Hardy – 88

The return of the Hardy Boyz should see Jeff back near the top tier of wrestlers for WWE 2K18. He has always been seen in a better light by the WWE when compared to his brother, Matt, and despite the popularity of Broken Matt, it is Jeff who should be getting a higher rating at 88.

#15 Baron Corbin – 89

Baron Corbin has been on a tear since his promotion to the main roster and his greatest triumph came at WWE Money in the Bank 2017 when he won the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match. This should put him in the elite territory with a rating of 89.

#14 Bray Wyatt – 89

Despite having fallen down the pecking order a little bit in recent months, we shouldn’t forget that Bray Wyatt pinned both John Cena and AJ Styles on his way to becoming WWE Champion. That’s worth an 89 rating in my book.

#13 Kevin Owens – 90

The longest reigning Universal Champion of all-time, the current United States Champion, and a killer program with Chris Jericho. The last 12 months have been great for KO and it should reflect in his rating of 90.

#12 Samoa Joe – 90

Despite not having been on the main roster for a long time, Samoa Joe has made an instant impact with his devastation of Seth Rollins, winning of the Fatal Fiveway to become Number 1 Contender to the Universal Championship and subsequent choking of Brock Lesnar. Expect Joe to hit 90 in WWE 2K18.

#11 Shinsuke Nakamura – 90

Shinsuke Nakamura is probably the hottest superstar on the Smackdown Live roster right now and is only expected to grow from strength to strength. It would be criminal if he was rated anything under a 90.

#10 Finn Balor – 90

Coming into the top 10 now and Number 10 on our predictions list is Finn Balor. The first-ever WWE Universal Champion has been on a steady rise since his return from injury and he should definitely be at least a 90 in WWE 2K18.

#9 Triple H – 90

Despite being a part-timer at this point, there is no way The Game is going to be rated anything lower than a 90. It just isn’t going to happen.

#8 Randy Orton – 91

Despite his recent struggles, Randy Orton did become a 13-time WWE World Champion in the past 12 months by winning the gold at Wrestlemania 33. That combined with his legacy (get it?) should give him a 91 rating.

#7 Braun Strowman – 91

Braun Strowman should see the biggest upgrade from WWE 2K17 to WWE 2K18. He has been an absolute monster over the past 12 months and anything lower than a 91 would be a travesty.

#6 Roman Reigns – 91

‘Something something’ Big Dog. ‘ Something something’ My Yard Now. 91 for Roman. Yay.

#5 The Undertaker – 91

To the man whose Yard it was before the Big Dog pissed in it, The Undertaker – whose last appearance it could be as a member of the regular WWE 2K roster – should warrant at least a 91 as a send-off.

#4 John Cena - 92

Big Match John is still Big Match John and who can forget that he tied Ric Flair's record for 16 World Titles? He comes in at Number 4 with a whopping 92 rating.

#3 Seth Rollins – 92

Now for the cover star of the WWE 2K18 game, Seth Rollins. The Architect should be the highest rated former member of The Shield but even being the cover star doesn’t get him into the top 2. He will have to be happy with just a 92. Just.

#2 AJ Styles – 93

No one had a better 2016 than AJ Styles. No one. It will be criminal if he is not the highest rated full-time performer on the roster. He deserves every bit of his 93 rating.
