WWE RAW Power Rankings: Kingston Goes Boom

The action-heavy night may not have satisfied everybody, but those looking for some good ole slobber-knocker wrasslin’ goodness, sure got their fill this week on RAW.

Check out our RAW Power Rankings to see who’s gearing up for Royal Rumble by cleanly pinning the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

5: The Usos: Another win over the Wyatt Family this week on RAW continues their push towards Tag Team gold. While they need more time on the microphone and a legitimate high-impact finisher, the Usos continue to make their case as one of the best tag teams in the company today. While this feud may appear to be going nowhere, it’s quickly giving the Usos more in-ring credibility.

4: John Cena: His first match of 2014 was a solid one against the dangerous Damien Sandow. With the Tornado DDT and a few other “new” moves, Cea was energetic and full of surprises. This is the type of Cena even his biggest haters enjoy seeing.

3: Daniel Bryan: Win, lose or draw, the Family is one of the most dangerous factions in recent WWE history, but Daniel Bryan is a one of a kind face. Don’t let the faction’s recent mixed bag of success fool you though. They have the potential to become a deadly team and now, they want Bryan’s blood. But with fans supporting him more than ever now, Bryan is stronger than ever.

2: The Shield: The three of these guys all have the makings of future WWE World Heavyweight Champions. While Ambrose is the well-rounded star and Rollins has the most flash, Reigns is the guy that appears will get the first real push. His feud with CM Punk has the potential to be more than time filler and can make him a star while keeping Punk in the upper portion of the card.

1: Kofi Kingston: No one saw this coming. Although Orton made several big mistakes in the match and kept stringing Kingston along, Kofi fought back and stole the show. One of the most talented performers in the company, is this the beginning of a new Kingston or just a one night wonder?
