WWE RAW Power Rankings: You Can See Cena Now

Sure, Kevin Hart was a “special guest” on this week’s episode of Monday night RAW, but the developments on the show were nothing to laugh about.

Check out this week’s RAW Power Rankings to see who made the most of the night of no-contests, ladders and anarchy.

Honorable Mention: Alexander Rusev: When will this guy get a real test? When will he sell or take a real bump? It’s understood now that he’s agile and a heck of an athlete, but when does he cross over and stop destroying jobbers? Although his destruction of Heath Slater was enjoyable to watch, it’s been done too many times already. While his performance in the MITB qualifying Battle Royal was solid as well, he hasn’t done enough to send him to the top of the card.

5: Seth Rollins: His destruction of Dolph Ziggler did not go unnoticed. While everyone is looking forward to Rollins’ upcoming feud with Dean Ambrose, Rollins continues to prove himself in the ring against the best workers in the company. All he needs is some new goddamn ring gear. Why is he still all in black?

4: Dean Ambrose: His promo work continues to prove that he can get the crowd going. His match with Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett this week on RAW shows that he can eventually challenge for that belt as well. The fact that he took out both Barrett and Seth Rollins was impressive enough, but considering the fact that he has yet to show the WWE Universe so many of the maneuvers that made him an NXT favorite- as well as an Indie Superstar- is enough to keep us intrigued by him.

3: The Wyatt Family: Is Bray Wyatt hungry for the WWE World Heavyweight title or what? What about Luke Harper and Erik Rowan and the WWE Tag Team straps? Could The Wyatt Family come out of Money in the Bank stronger than ever? With Evolution and The Shield no longer the forces they once were, The Wyatt’s have a golden opportunity to take as much power as they want. They literally could have the world in their hands.

2: Roman Reigns: His antics earlier in the show portrayed him in a funnier and light-hearted way-it’s something we haven’t seen from him yet in his young WWE career and something we’ll need to see more of as he begins to rack up more camera time.

1: John Cena: There was no way he was going to lose the stretcher match with Kane this week on RAW, but the Big Red Monster sure made him work for it. With momentum on his side, Can Cena regain the WWE World Heavyweight title?
