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

#20 Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode began 2017 by winning the NXT Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at TakeOver: San Antonio and he’ll end it by challenging Baron Corbin for the United States title at Clash of Champions.

It’s been a good year for "The Glorious One" and he’s by no means among the worst call-ups from NXT over the last 18 months. The only real negative is that his feuds with Nakamura, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler were all very, very underwhelming.

Grade: B-

#19 Naomi

Whether you’re a glow-feeler or not, it’s pretty obvious that 2017 was the best year of Naomi’s career. She won the SmackDown Live Women’s title twice, she received a huge chorus of “you deserve it!” chants and, best of all, she had her own custom title.

Barring the knee injury she sustained in February, the last 12 months couldn’t have gone much better for Naomi.

Grade: B-
