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

#27 Dolph Ziggler

This snippet from Dolph Ziggler’s recent interview with NBC Sports sums up his 2017 rather well: “I've been very lucky in that I've been able to make the most out of those [bad] situations.”

Of all the grades given in this 50-person list, Ziggler’s was the most difficult to decide on. From a booking perspective, it’s been a horrible year for “The Show Off”, but he remains a brilliant in-ring talent so, for that reason, he gets a respectable Grade C for his work in 2017.

Grade: C

#26 Aiden English

Many fans expected Aiden English to be thrown on the SmackDown Live scrapheap when his Vaudevillians tag-team partner Simon Gotch was released by WWE in April.

But, as it turned out, “The Drama King” had a career resurgence after going solo and his recent alignment with Rusev has been one of the most entertaining things on Tuesday nights in recent weeks.

Grade: C
