WWE RAW Power Rankings: Put a Mask on Him

One of the weakest Road to Wrestlemania RAW’s in years, there was little storyline development and even weaker matches. Although the addition of a WWE Tag Team title match and Divas Title match at Wrestlemania and the announcement of Scott Hall’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, this was a RAW that left a ton to be desired.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who’s got the most momentum with just two weeks to go before Wrestlemania XXX.

Honorable Mention: Christian: His win this week over three former World Heavyweight Champions in Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio was an impressive one. One of the most dependable workers in the company, Christian still has plenty of ability and even more to give. A veteran that can put over and youngster and contribute to the upper portion of the card, Christian has plenty of value.

5: The Shield: They are pissed. That is not good for anyone in their way. This week it was Curtis Axel and Ryback, as well as Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger, two of the three teams that destroyed them last week on Smackdown. With plenty of momentum and the support of the fans, The Shield’s popularity continues to soar. While it appeared that they were about split up a few weeks ago, it looks like they are more organized than ever.

4: Triple H: “The Game” cut some solid promo this week on RAW. “I used to stand in this ring and do disgusting things to people in this ring.” Gold. Ever the solid heel, Triple H continued to make fans hate him this week, allowing Daniel Bryan to become even more fond of Daniel Bryan. While it isn’t the Main Event for this year’s Wrestlemania, the match between Triple H and Daniel Bryan may be one of the most important matches in recent WWE history. If you don’t like it, send him a tweet where you voice your displeasure.

3: The Undertaker: He may only wrestle a match a year, The Undertaker has done a solid job of building what will be a stiff as hell match against Brock Lesnar. Although the drama took a bit too long to unfold, it’s obvious Taker is still capable of packing em in.

2: John Cena: The Wyatt Family has definitely gotten under his skin. But he’s still the company Superman and he doesn’t have to prove a damn thing against Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania XXX. Simply put, their match will all be about putting Wyatt over, so expect Cena to sell as much as he delivers. It’ll be a performance that a lot of people will speak about after it all goes down. This week on RAW Cena technically took down Luke Harper, but he didn’t have an easy time doing it.

1: The Wyatt Family: Luke Harper looked awesome against John Cena and the end of the match proved that The Wyatt Family is without a doubt capable of destroying the WWE’s most popular and established performer.
