With no real surprises and little to get excited about, the final RAW before Wrestlemania XXX was mediocre at best.
Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who shined the brightest on a show that did anything but get anyone excited for the company’s most talked about PPV of the year.
Honorable Mention: Alberto Del Rio: A win over Intercontinental Champion Big E. Langston isn’t going to win him superstar of the year, but it will give him some serious momentum going into Wrestlemania. Partaking in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Del Rio could use this match as a way to get his career back on track.
5: Brock Lesnar: Even though it took 15 minutes to develop, Lesnar destroyed Undertaker with an F5 this week on RAW. Easily one of Taker’s biggest challenges to his streak, could Lesnar be the guy that finally ends it? With Paul Heyman on his side and plenty of momentum, Taker is in for a massively stiff fight.
4: The Shield: More organized and focused than they’ve been in months, Kane and The New Age Outlaws will have their hands full this weekend at Wrestlemania XXX.
3: The Wyatt Family: If his dominance over former NWA World Heavyweight Champion R-Truth this week on RAW isn’t enough, Bray Wyatt continues to cut the type of promos that can only be described as “poetic.†John Cena has never quite fought someone like Wyatt, who can beat him on the mic, in the ring and in his own mid. Fully aware of what Cena is, Wyatt is ready to fight tooth and nail to take don legend.
2: Triple H: That promo this week was arrogant, over the top and borderline ridiculous. It was awesome. With the crowd pissed at him and Daniel Bryan off TV for a few weeks, HHH has the fans prepared for an epic bout at Wrestlemania XXX. Could he win the WWE World Heavyweight title? Or is he merely a stop on Bryan’s own road to immortality.
1: John Cena: On a show that lacked any real surprises, Cena’s arrival on RAW in Erick Rowan’s gimmick was enjoyable. Despite being over the top and too drawn out, Cena got the crowd going and after his promo later in the show, did something many of the other superstars forgot to do this week, build intrigue for their Wrestlemania match.
