Here are the top 10 WWE Power Rankings for this week:
Cody Rhodes:
Cody Rhodes came out to talk and hope up his match with John Cena when Randy Orton came out. Randy laid it down for the champ that when he came for a chance at his 15th title, he would just tell him and punch him in the face. That was when Drew McIntyre came out, leading to an altercation with both Cody and Randy in which Orton almost landed an RKO.
John Cena:
John Cena showed up on Smackdown and didn’t say much. Cody tried to lure him in, but Cena just left the ring and walked away looking dejected. This left a lot of wrestling shows like Busted Open thinking that Cena and Cody are in cahoots, so only time will tell if that theory is correct.
“Main Event” Jey Uso:
Jey Uso has been teaming up, having fun while avoiding back attacks by Gunther. This actually pissed off Jimmy Us,o which led to the slap heard across the world as Jimmy gave Gunther a slap across the face. Jimmy had then said he’d do it again if needed.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins:
Seth Rollins was furious about the contract signing between Roman Reigns, C.M. Punk, and himself. Right now Rollins has inserted himself as the heel in this match as he shouted at Punk that he doesn’t deserve to be in a Main Event at Wrestlemania.
C.M. Punk:
C.M. Punk just sat there with Paul Heyman as Rollins yelled away at everyone. He shed a slight tear given the fact he finally gets to be in a Main Event at Wrestlemania. However, Punk still hasn’t asked Paul for his favor, which is leaving a lot of us in wisdom still as to what that favor is.
Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns inserted himself into this triple threat with force, but now it’s like he’s watching two little brothers fight. Roman just sat back and watched while Rollins lost it. Roman had made it clear that he doesn’t care about Punk’s favor but he still is suspicious about Paul being secretive about it.
Kevin Owens:
Kevin Owens decided to attack Randy Orton during Orton’s match with McIntyre. That led to them battling it out until Owned team into the crown, leaving Randy standing on the announcer’s table on Friday.
LA Knight:
LA Knight thought he would have a simple match with Braun Stroman until Jacob Fatu interfered. That’s when Fatu attacked both of them, furthering the discussion of where this is all headed. Are we getting another triple-threat match, or is this all great storytelling by the WWE?
Gunther:
Gunther went from slapping Punk so hard that people made clips out of what Punk said afterward. That led to Jimmy’s slap, which seems to be a theme right now while the WWE is overseas. Will we get another slap before they come back to the States? I’m going to say yes since Jimmy seems determined to do it again.
Bron Breakker:
Bron Breakker showed once again that he is more than a man. I thought his injury could have held him out for days, but he was back wrestling Monday. This, of course, led to Judgment Day attacking Bron and Penta during their match in Raw last week. That led to a tag team match this Raw as Bron and Penta are set to team up against Judgment Day.
