After a scandalous week for the cruiserweights, two of the best on 205 Live put on an absolute classic. Who had the best performances of the week in WWE?
WWE offers up plenty of programming over the course of a week. Even when there’s no pay per view, there’s at least seven hours of original programming. With Raw and SmackDown Live on USA, plus 205 Live and NXT on the WWE Network, it’s a lot to focus on at times.
But for those of us who can make it through the marathon, there’s usually quite a bit to keep our interest. Regardless of what some people say about the quality of programming, as far as in-ring talent goes this is one of the golden periods for WWE. Sure, storylines may be stale, boring, and ridiculous – even nonsensical – but the matches themselves are rarely terrible across the board.
To try and keep track of who stood out on a week to week basis, here at Daily DDT we’ll be taking a look at the top five performers in a given week. Since WWE is a wrestling company (despite what Vince McMahon may try and tell us), we’re going to focus on wrestling performances. After all, you can’t have a wrestling show without wrestling, right?
With that, here are the top in-ring performers for the week of Jan. 22, 2018, in WWE, in no particular order. (We’re doing this before TakeOver and the Royal Rumble because, well, there’s like a hundred superstars involved in the two shows combined, so that’s going to be a second post.)
