WWE: Ranking The 10 Greatest Promos Of 2017

The match quality in WWE has risen each and every year, but what separates the best wrestlers from the rest of the roster is their ability to cut an engaging promo. Here were the ten best promos of 2017.

There’s no doubt that the WWE’s biggest legends like The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and John Cena can cut promos that draw in the entire audience. The best superstars in the history of WWE are the people who can reach a widespread audience, and they do this by being entertaining on the microphone.

Although fans bemoan the decrease in the quality of promos in the modern era, these ten promos show that quality mic work was still alive and well in 2017. Sure, WWE and professional wrestling as a whole is more centered on in-ring work rate and athletic moves than ever before, but that’s what makes a high-quality promo all the more important.

So let’s take a look at the top ten promos of 2017. Some of these were powerful babyface promos, while others were jarring heel promos. Heels tend to have an advantage when it comes to cutting promos in the modern WWE, since the company seems to have an issue with booking strong babyfaces. But the likes of Roman Reigns and John Cena rated highly on this list of ten, so the strong-willed babyface isn’t quite dead yet.
