2017 Superstar Report Card: The SmackDown Live roster (30 to 11)

#29 Chad Gable

While Chad Gable showed in his singles matches against AJ Styles and Rusev that he possesses the in-ring ability to be a huge star in WWE, his promos and tag-team chemistry with new partner Shelton Benjamin have left a lot to be desired.

Let’s hope WWE has bigger and better plans for the former Olympian in 2018.

#28 Harper

The last 12 months are a case of ‘what could have been’ for Luke Harper – or Harper, as he’s now known.

Rumour had it that WWE was seriously considering adding him to the WWE Championship match with Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33, making it an all-Wyatt Family affair, but they decided against it and he ended up in the kickoff show Battle Royal.

Harper will probably never get the chance to feature in a match of that scale again, but the future still looks bright now that he’s reunited with Rowan.
