The WWE On FOX Twitter account put out a “Tier List” of SmackDown Superstars on Friday and the grades aren’t going over well with a lot of fans on social media.
After backlash from Mickie James, who received an F grade, the WWE On FOX account revealed that the list was made up by FOX Sports WWE Analyst Ryan Satin. A column was published to the FOX Sports website detailing each grade at this link.
Mickie responded to the list and wrote, “[laughing emoji] [skull emoji] the only thing I’ve ever failed in was Trigonometry. #TrueStory also… who made this list anyway @WWEonFOX & please have them contact my agent. #ThankYou”
Mickie then responded to their tweet outing Satin as the creator, and referenced her appearance on Monday’s Legends Night edition of RAW, writing, “It’s ok! [laughing emoji] Apparently y’all missed the memo. I’m a Legend now! We shall say F is for Fanciest… clearly! In the future, if my name hits your lips make sure you put RESPECT on it. That’s all. Happy 202Won & I can’t wait to see you on Monday!!! [toast emoji] #WWERaw [fire emoji] [snake emoji] #LegendsNight [kiss emoji]”
She added in a follow-up tweet, “I forgot. Sarcasm & humor doesn’t always translate in tweets. My bad y’all! #calmdown [toast emoji] [kiss emoji]”
Satin explained the list and wrote, “Keep in mind, these tiers represent how each Superstar is being used on TV at the moment – not level of talent.”
The “Tier List” looks like this:
A+ – WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks
A – Bayley, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins

My SmackDown Tier List 1.0
Do you agree with these choices?
Keep in mind, these tiers represent how each Superstar is being used on TV at the moment – not level of talent.
