Backstage Look At WWE’s Internal Roster Rankings

They have a plan. WWE has a lot of wrestlers on its roster but they are not exactly on the same levels. The company is going to want to have some names that are presented more than others and it is not hard to figure out who they are. That list does change every now and then though and now we know a bit more about what WWE sees as their current hierarchy of the roster.

According to PWInsider.com, Cody Rhodes is listed as the #2 babyface on the Monday Night Raw roster after only Bobby Lashley. In addition, Drew McIntyre is listed as the top babyface on SmackDown. On the other hand, Roman Reigns is viewed as the top heel on SmackDown and is not listed on Monday Night Raw. The top heels on Monday Night Raw are Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Edge and Damian Priest.

Opinion: There is something fascinating when you get to see how WWE views its own lineup. At the same time, it can be interesting to see how fast things change, or at least how WWE treats the wrestlers it views as top stars on either show. Rhodes being that high is interesting, as going from not around to being above AJ Styles in the span of two weeks is not something you see every day. This might change at the drop of a hat, but it is quite the list at the moment.
