Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE’s Men’s Power Rankings. With Crown Jewel this weekend in Perth, Australia, there definitely should be some action on all of the shows. That being said, let’s run through the wrestlers and get you caught up in some of the storylines. Also, remember to check out our “Through the Turnbuckles” podcast, as we cover topics in the world of wrestling. The show will be reforming this week, so keep an eye out. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.
Cody Rhodes: Cody Rhodes is currently preparing for his match at Crown Jewel against Seth Rollins. Rhodes and Randy Orton had their hands full with the Vision during their tag team match on Friday. They ended up losing this match due to Seth Rollins’ interference in the match.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins: Seth Rollins has been waiting for his chance to strike, and he had the perfect opportunity on Friday Night Smackdown. During the Vision’s tag team match against Rhodes and Orton, he delivered a Curbstomp to Orton, which gave his faction the win.

John Cena: John Cena already has one of his last matches signed and booked for Crown Jewel. That match will feature Cena taking on A.J. Styles, who is a perfect opponent for him right now. You can expect another classic Cena match as Styles gets ready to carry the last real champ in an epic night in Australia.
C.M. Punk: C.M. Punk and A.J. Lee won their match against Rollins and Lynch at Wrestlepalooza. For now, I could see them step away because I don’t think Punk is needed for Survivor Series. No matter what, we’ll see soon enough, starting with RAW tonight.
Roman Reigns: Roman Reigns is finally starting to implant intensity and anger back into Jey Uso, which has left Jimmy Uso lost. Jimmy has been on a peaceful path, but now that the signs of the original Bloodline loom, he could be losing his brother to the OTC once again.

“Main Event” Jey Uso: Jey and Jimmy Uso beat the Vision with Roman Reigns finally returning to action. With Jey now being combed by the OTC to be the next Tribal Chief, you can only expect the world of wrestling to be turned upside down soon. YEET!

Bron Breakker: Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed were mauled by the Bloodline once Reigns showed up last week on RAW. They thought a normal Tornado tag team match would end with them beating up the Usos. Boy, were they wrong.
L.A. Knight: L.A. Knight had a match against Kofi Kingston, who wasn’t alone. Xavier Woods showed up and was up to the same dirty tactics that the New Day rely on to win matches. Unfortunately for them, Knight wasn’t having any of that and won his match anyway. YEAH!
Sami Zayn: Sami Zayn defended his U.S. Championship against Aleister Black on Friday Night SmackDown. Black and Zane gave us an amazing match in which Zane was able to retain his U.S. Championship. Going forward, I can’t wait to see who they have in line for his next opponent.
Brock Lesnar: Brock Lesnar defeated John Cena in the opening match at Wrestlepalooza on Saturday. Since then, he’s been on another hiatus, which will get him kicked from this list immediately if he doesn’t return this week. That means Jacob Fatu will be taking back his spot if this doesn’t happen.
