WWE RAW Power Rankings: Big E. Time

Don’t let the corny country theme fool you; there was some solid wrestling action this week on RAW. While the drama wasn’t what you’d expect with a week before a major PPV the likes of Survivor Series, there were enough moments to make sure you didn’t change the channel to Monday Night Football.

Check out our weekly RAW Power Rankings to see who has the most momentum going into one of the companies biggest pay-per-views.

5: R-Truth/Xavier Woods: Their match got sandwiched in at the end of the show, but these two were entertaining together. Both are athletic and charismatic and could be a huge force in the Tag Team division. Although Cody Rhodes and Goldust are holding the titles with strength these days, a team like Truth and Woods has plenty of potential.

4: Daniel Bryan/CM Punk: This is just a temporary stop on the road to forge their legacies, but Punk and Bryan are awesome together. Their match with Luke Harper and Erik Rowan at Survivor Series has the potential of being the best match on the card.

3: The Big Show: Show took a Meathook Clothesline and a Shellshock and not only kicked out and eventually beat Ryback with the WMB this week on RAW, he also made sure Randy Orton didn’t get in a few cheap blows before their encounter at Survivor Series. Simply put, Show hasn’t been this over since his arrival in the company more than a decade ago.

2: Big E. Langston: The youngster defeated Curtis Axel to claim his first Intercontinental Championship in a match that is the beginning of a bright future. And just think, six months ago, Langston was a green mess that never sold. After several matches with Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and several other top WWE talent, Langston has proven himself to be one of the best young performers in the company.

1: The Wyatt Family: The same way The Shield came into the WWE and made a statement, The Wyatt’s are no joke. Harper and Rowan are huge and athletic, while Wyatt is a master on the microphone and a talented performer. After their feud with Punk and Bryan concludes, it’ll be interesting to see where the trio lands next.
