WWE power rankings after Monday Night RAW in Brooklyn, NY

Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE’s Men’s Power Rankings. With Money in the Bank less than two weeks away, we could see some of the major superstars taking a break right now. However, those superstars could see action at the Crown Jewel PLE, which is happening this week. 

So as the WWE strategically navigates the storylines for all of the superstars involved, we can all rejoice as fans about the action we’re going to get this fall. It’s not always like this, and when you can get multiple PLEs within a few weeks of each other, you can’t help but be excited. 

That being said, let’s get to this week’s list and see how these stories have unfolded since last week. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.

Top 10

10. Trick Williams:

Trick Williams lost his match against Sami Zayn on Friday Night SmackDown, after being cheated by the so-called good guy of the WWE. It was nice seeing Williams get a shot to work with one of the best in-ring performers in the world when it comes to wrestling. For that effort, Williams falls to the 10th spot.

9. Ethan Page: 

Ethan Page makes his debut on this list after defeating Chad Gable to win the Intercontinental Championship. I knew that at some point, the WWE would be moving on from Gable as champion, but I didn’t see Page being the guy to dethrone him. However, I’m fine with it since I’ve always felt that Gable was more of a tag team wrestler than a singles performer. 

8. Penta:

Penta teamed up with Dragon Lee, and Je’VonEvans, in a Triple-threat match against Bron Breakker, Austin Theory, and Bronson Reed, if the Vision. Penta and the gang started hot but it wasn’t long before the dastardly ways of the Vision showed up, leading to a loss for our faces. Regardless, the match was fun to watch, so you’ll hear no gripes from me. Even though Penta lost, I moved him up to the eighth spot in this list, simply because he’s great at what he does. 

7. “Main Event” Jey Uso:

Roman Reigns, Jey, and Jimmy Uso, were ransacked by 946 last night in a segment that erupted in pure chaos. Jimmy was handcuffed to the ropes, which made him ineffective, but Sami Zayn decided to come save the day. This is all going to lead to War Games on November 28th, when the Bloodline finally had their day. YEET!

6. Seth Rollins:

Seth “Freakin” Rollins slips to sixth on this list after losing to Roman Reigns in the Main Event at SummerSlam. Since then, Rollins has cut some promos and gone face to face with a few wrestlers, but hasn’t been b on T.V. for a minute. That’s okay because he’s really not needed right now and we’ll see if he shows up next week. 

Top 5

5. Oba Femi:

Oba Femi didn’t play a prominent role on RAW last night, since he isn’t wrestling this week at Crown Jewel. You can expect things to pick up for Femi with Survivor Series in Houston, TX. I feel has going to be bunched in with the Bloodline in a War Games match, but I could be wrong. 

1. C.M. Punk:

C.M. Punk has been off T.V. for the most part, and there are rumors he suffered another injury recently. However, I feel that he wasn’t needed for right now, and that should all culminate into a match with Kevin Owens, soon enough. 

1. Sami Zayn: 

Sami Zayn defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Trick Williams in the main event on Friday Night Smackdown. The match was actually really good, and I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone would cheat to pull off the win. I wasn’t far off as Zayn not only used a low blow, but hit Williams with his championship to get the one, two, three. 

1. Cody Rhodes:

Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton was officially announced for Crown Jewel, this week in Riyadh. That led to Rhodes promo last week on Smackdown, where he apologized for sending Orton over the edge. This spilled over to RAW last night where even John Cena threw in some hype towards this match. That just means that Rhodes and Orton are going to light it up this weekend at Crown Jewel. 

1. Roman Reigns:

Roman Reigns kicked off RAW last night with a promo to catch everyone up on what’s been happening in the land of Samoa. It wasn’t long before Sami Zayn interfered with his gibberish, just pissing off Reigns, at the start. After they talked about the 946 and their match at Crown Jewel, they ended things on common ground. This came to light at the end of the show, when Zayn ended the night delivering a Helluva kick to end the show last night.
