WWE RAW Power Rankings: No Rock or Cena Needed

Talk about a massive card on RAW this week. With Wrestlemania season beginning to percolate, there are plenty of guys earning their stay with the company now. Mark Henry earned a spot on our list by dismantling Kofi Kingston and Drew MacIntyre, while Brock Lesnar sneaked his way into the top five without even wrestling an official match. With a slew of other matches this week, filling up the rest of this week’s Review Fix RAW Power Rankings was no easy task.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see which one of your favorite stars made this week’s show a memorable one.

5: Dolph Ziggler: He needed AJ Lee and Big E. Langston’s to get the win over former World Champion Daniel Bryan, but a win is win. Still one of the best workers in the company, Ziggler and Bryan have solid chemistry and could easily work well together in a future angle. For now, it seems Ziggler is gearing up for a World title run after Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger square off.

4: Brock Lesnar: After he destroyed the New Age Outlaws, Lesnar accepted a match with Triple H, but only if H blindly accepted the stipulations of Lesnar and Paul Heyman’s choosing. Talk about intrigue. In great shape, Lesnar even managed to make his trademark jump from the floor to the apron. Talk about a throwback.

3: The Shield: It may have not looked pretty, but Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins proved that even the Big Show is no match for them. A triple Powerbomb made sure that Show will be mighty pissed next week and in the need of vengeance. With Wrestlemania less than a month away, this definitely begins an angle that’ll end up on the card.

2: Mark Henry: Another solid win for Henry against a dependable worker in Kofi Kingston. With Ryback continuing to win every week as well, these two are bound to meet eventually. While Ryback will most likely get the win in their encounter, it’ll be a lesson the rookie won’t soon forget.

1: CM Punk: Damn did he beat the crap out of Kane. Although he lost the match to Kane because of Undertaker’s “interference,” he got the last laugh and Paul Bearer’s urn. This angle is about to heat up.
