NOTE: These are NOT how I would rank them myself, but rather, how I feel WWE management reflects upon them.
[Updated: 5/21/2013]
[SPECIALTY]
Triple H, Undertaker, Rock, Brock Lesnar
MAIN EVENT
HIGH-TIER
John Cena, CM Punk
MID-TIER
Sheamus, Big Show
LOW-TIER
Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry
[MAIN EVENT / MIDCARD LIMBO]
The Miz, Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins
MIDCARD
HIGH-TIER
Kane, Daniel Bryan, Kofi Kingston, Antonio Cesaro, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Fandango
MID-TIER
Brodus Clay, Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel, Titus O'Neil, Darren Young, R-Truth, Tensai, Big E Langston, Curtis Axel
LOW-TIER
Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso*, Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Epico*, Primo*, Great Khali
JOBBER
Yoshi Tatsu*, Alex Riley*
[STATUS UNKNOWN / INACTIVE]
Mason Ryan*, Evan Bourne*, Camacho*, Christian, Ezekiel Jackson*, Ted DiBiase, Hunico*, JTG*, Curt Hawkins*, Rey Mysterio, Brad Maddox, William Regal, Santino Marella, Tyson Kidd, Sin Cara, David Otunga
* = In danger of being released
FOR SPECIALTY: These are the guys that take precedence over everyone else, for the most part. They're perpetually at the main event level even if they don't show up that often.
FOR MAIN EVENT: High-Tier are always in the main event and never lower than the top of the card, relatively speaking, and seem to only get pushed aside if it comes to them against a specialty act. Mid-Tier go back and forth. Low-Tier are world champs that don't frequently main event but can fill in a main event spot at any time, or a new world champ that is fresh to the scene and thus, hasn't built up enough history to be moved up.
FOR LIMBO: These guys are the upper midcarders that have either won a world title but are currently stick in the midcard or are close to being in the main event, but haven't won a world title yet.
FOR MIDCARD: High-Tier are those that are in contention for the Intercontinental and United States championships at any time; Mid-Tier are not quite that level yet but still may challenge; Low-Tier midcarders are used primarily as filler and rarely win any match unless it's on Superstars.
FOR JOBBER: Generally speaking, these guys can't even make it on Superstars and if you do see them, you know for a fact they're going to lose and stand no chance.
FOR STATUS UNKNOWN: These people are either off TV due to injury, suspension, or something else (wherein they have no ranking) or they are currently not in a position that seems like a solid state, such as a newcomer or someone that is on TV in a non-wrestling capacity.
