Top 5 WWE Superstars of 2017

#2 Roman Reigns

Reigns defeated John Cena in what was a passing of the torch match

You can disagree with me on Roman Reigns being ranked above AJ Styles. But popularity and the kinds of matches a wrestler had in the year alone does not determine the rankings.

Roman Reigns is Vince McMahon's chosen one to carry the company forward as their top star in the future. The way he is being booked, it is pretty evident that he is indeed the heir to John Cena's throne.

The WWE Universe has been criticising Reigns on his in-ring work and his mic skills. But just like wine, Reigns seems to be getting better with age and has improved a lot in the ring and in his promos. The verbal exchanges with John Cena goes to show that he's certainly improved on the mic. He is also winning back the crowd support thanks to the Shield reunion.

Reigns is now en route to defeat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34 in New Orleans and lift the Universal Championship. Once that happens we can expect to see Reigns at the top of the WWE for many years.
