Hello everybody, and welcome back to another week of the WWE’s Men’s Power Rankings. With the WWE in holiday mode, there are a bunch of wrestlers taking time off; this list hasn’t changed much. That being said, let’s run through the list 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 returning this week, so keep an eye out for that show. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.
10. Logan Paul:
“The Maverick” Logan Paul makes his return to the list after being removed earlier in the year due to an injury. I know a lot of people will disagree with him being on the list; however, Paul is an amazing in-ring performer. From his high spots to his work in the mic, Paul shows why he’s not only a superstar but also a great wrestler.
9. Gunther:
Gunther may not be liked by many, but he sure didn’t mind coming out and rubbing his win over John Cena in everyone’s face. Afterwards, Gunther left talking junk to every superstar he saw before taunting A.J. Styles with Cena’s classic taunt.
8. Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns had a great match last Saturday at War Games, as he added a comical side to this match and the build for War Games. Since then, Reigns made it clear to both champs that he’s coming for one of their belts. That means Cody Rhodes and C.M. Punk should watch their backs for now, or they will have to acknowledge him soon enough.
7. Ilja Dragunov:
Ilja Dragunov faced off against Carmelo Hayes for the U.S. Championship title on Friday Night SmackDown last week. They had another great matchup, but this time Hayes came out on top and won, and became the new U.S. champion. Going forward, this will most likely be Dragunov’s last week on this list unless he somehow gets a rematch and wins his title back.
6. L.A. Knight:
L.A. Knight hasn’t been on TV much due to being part of storylines that don’t really involve him. With how much Knight loses, you can tell he’s a company man, but at some point, the Megastar needs to step it up. Going into next year, I’m sure the WWE has a plan for him that we can’t wait to see. YEAH!
5. Dominik Mysterio:
Dominik Mysterio has continued his reign of terror with Judgment Day again, but for me, this still feels like it could be short-lived. Even with Liv Morgan coming back to inject some gusto to the group, I still feel that this is the final swan song and could erupt in everyone’s face if it leads to Mysterio losing his title.
4. Bron Breakker:
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are always up to shenanigans as they helped Logan Paul against Rey Mysterio. This made Punk come out to even the odds until the masked man showed up again. However, this time, the masked man revealed himself, and it was none other than Austin Theory, like we said weeks ago in this article.
3. “Main Event” Jey Uso:
Jey Uso teamed up with his brother Jimmy Uso to take on the New Day in a tag team match. Of course, New Day had a truck up their sleeve in the form of Grayson Waller, who was kicked out from being at the ringside by the referee after interfering in the match. It was soon after that the Uso’s found victory by using 1D. YEET!
2. C.M. Punk:
C.M. Punk couldn’t stand Gunther running his mouth about John Cena and decided to confront him about it. Rey Mysterio joined in on the bashing as well and letting Gunther know that he has more enemies than the champion.
1. Cody Rhodes:
Cody Rhodes had another promo on SmackDown last week with everyone’s favorite heel, Drew McIntyre. Of course, this face-off ended in a fight before McIntyre could reveal his stipulation for their championship match coming up soon. You can bet that no matter what the stipulation is, Rhodes will find a way to give McIntyre a nightmare. An American Nightmare.
